Perle's "Prince of Darkness" reputation dates from the Reagan administration, and has nothing to do with Israel as far as I know. As to his alleged lack of current influence, consider this from Sept. 2001 :

But in which direction? NEWSWEEK has learned that at a two-day meeting of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board, which is chaired by hard-liner Richard Perle, eminent conservatives including Henry Kissinger, James Schlesinger, Dan Quayle and Newt Gingrich reached a consensus that Iraq should be targeted quickly after Afghanistan. “When the U.S. loses what may be more than 6,000 people, there has to be reaction so that the world clearly knows that things have changed,” Gingrich told NEWSWEEK. msnbc.com

Wolfowitz's long run gunning for Iraq is not exactly a secret either. I know you consider it conveniently impossible that someone might get the impression that Perle and Wolfowitz are driving current policy without being antisemitic, but there is something of a paper trail there.
