Re: ...these same Jewish religious fanatics would attempt to attack our President if he goes against their wishes in establishing a Palestinian state. We can only hope that there are not too many Likudniks in the Secret Service protection Mr. Bush. I hope that he's aware of the potential danger of these Israeli-Firsters in his administration.
That's the fog of conspiracy --a fog much thicker and riskier than the so-called fog of war....
I'm currently halfway through Georges Fleury's monograph on the OAS (Grasset, 2002), hence I can all the more grasp the (geo-)political challenge confronting the US authorities post-911. The US-Israeli relationship exactly replicates that between France and Algeria in 1960-1962. Of course, the significant difference between the two episodes is that, unlike the Pied-Noirs (French settlers in Algeria), Israelis are not asked to leave Palestine altogether. The Arab League only calls for sharing Palestine with its native inhabitants according to the "1967 map".
Did you know that the most fanatic Pieds-Noirs --those who wanted to keep 9 million Muslim Algerians under the yoke of one million French settlers-- resorted to the same ideological slogans as today's Zionists? The supporters of Algérie Française claimed that the Soviet fleet will be based at Mers el-Kébir (France's main naval base at the time), they also claimed that not only the fate of France but the fate of the Free World was at stake in the war against Algerian independentists (FLN guerilla). The whole of Algeria's European populace (French, Italians, Spaniards,...) viewed President De Gaulle as a traitor... Military renegades called him contemptuously "la grande Zhora" or "Monsieur Gaulle"... Even prominent politicians-turned-fugitives like Jacques Soustelle said they were rightfully fighting the "Gaullist dictatorship"...
And, just as today the US state apparatus is crawling with Judeofascist freaks (just think of the Pentagon inviting Rev Graham [*]), half of the French administration in the 1950s and early 1960s was not loyal to De Gaulle and partial to Algérie Française. OAS leaders had informers in the military, intelligence services (SDECE, RG) and among French deputies --not only in Algeria, but also in metropolitan France. Yet, the French situation was not as desperate as the American one is today. Indeed, France wasn't in denial on the issue of French/pied-noir terrorism. French opinion was well aware of the clash between TWO terrorist factions: the Algerian one, that is, the FLN/ALN/GPRA, that fought almost exclusively in Algeria and used France's Algerian immigrants merely as a "racket pool" and the pied-noir-led OAS who murdered French opponents as much as Muslim ones. Contrariwise, today's America is unable to face the (ominous) truth --US authorities won't admit the reality of "Zionist terrorism", because that doesn't fit in with the racist psyche that's still deeply ingrained in US politics.

[*] Pentagon Defends Rev. Graham Invitation
Wed Apr 16, 6:38 PM ET
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has a policy of religious inclusiveness, the top Defense Department spokeswoman said Wednesday amid criticism by some Muslim groups of a scheduled Good Friday appearance by the Rev. Franklin Graham.
The groups note that the Christian evangelist, invited to hold the services at the Pentagon on Friday, has said Islam is a wicked and violent religion.
Asked about the issue Wednesday, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke said the decision to invite Graham was made by the Pentagon chaplain's office, which is administered by the Army.
