Obviously not nearly as friendly to Israel as they believe if they would make the choice between Israel or the United States. If these "hawks" are not careful, they will turn the American electorate against Israel altogether. Anti-patriotic is usurping the Constitution and undermining the foreign policy of this country which is the responsibility of the Executive branch, not the Legislative branch.
