Reply #15: But for the US, Bush was merely the most inept of Israeli apologists . . . [View All]

Most US leaders let Israel literally get away with murder.

While some US leaders have made sincere and (temporarily) effective strides toward peace, it's always been against a background of *Israel is America's Friend* (and watching an ally squash the "little people" of the world makes us uncomfortable, so we'll ask Israel real nicely to be less vicious).

Israel shits bullets and complains that its nest is fouled with lead. Why must America continue to support Israeli administration after administration (going on 60 years) this way?

And I'm sorry, if a country follows the same homicidal/suicidal policies for half a century, then the "hijacked by thugs" argument begins to wear thin.
