What are some of Nixon's antisemitic quotes?

I'm in a debate as to whether Richard Nixon was antisemitic and I'm looking for some of his quotes (e. g. , from the released Nixon tapes) that help prove he was, in fact, anti-jewish.

There are lots of antisemitic quotes in the Nixon tapes. For example: "The Jews - the Jews are, are born spies. You notice how many of them are just in up to their necks? " and: [Washington] "is full of Jews. Most Jews are disloyal. " Google "nixon antisemite" to find more.

It's true he said lots of anti-semitic stuff, but people, including Norman Podhoretz says that stemmed from his resentment of their intelligence and the fact that Jews typically aligned themselves with the left which was against Nixon, the republican.

"Anti-Semitism is stronger than we think. You know, it’s unfortunate. But this has happened to the Jews. It happened in Spain, it happened in Germany, it’s happening — and now it’s going to happen in America if these people don’t start behaving. ... It may be they have a death wish. You know that’s been the problem with our Jewish friends for centuries."
