The Israel lobby has triumphed again -- enforcing its orthodoxy on American debate, and as a result, rubber-stamping Netanyahu`s charge towards war with Iran (dragging America in behind). Israel right now is like America just after 9/11 -- ready to believe the worst case and to strike out without thinking through the consequences. Indeed, why was Dennis Ross, a cheerleader for the Iraq war and labeled by one acquaintance as "a lawyer for Israel" allowed to assume a high position in the US State Department, but Freeman, a critic of Israeli policies, who might have offered a different point of view, made to step down?
If Abe Lincoln lived under the thumb of the Israel lobby, there would have been no "team of rivals". |
