Charles,

There are a lot of folks who are neoconservative, but when many of the criticisms of these people only mention names of a particular heritage - it sure starts sounding anti-Semitic.

However, I do think its ok to critique Israeli policy without being anti-Semitic. Israel has policies which are at odds with our own national interest. Similarly, it should be possible to oppose Robert Mugabe's corrupt regime without being called a racist.

Perhaps we should station a Trident or two in the Indian Ocean. Any nuclear attack by Israel or Iran invokes a previously approved UN sponsored massive response. So both sides disarm.

However - many of the anti-Likudites's must realize that Israels nuclear deterrent was developed before Likud was a major party and is a last-ditch deterrent. No Israeli politician that I am aware of has ever pushed the idea of destroying all Arabs. In Iran however, the current ruler has publicly stated that he will nuke Tel Aviv as soon as he has the capability.
