"Just ask yourself, Can a person who hates Jews write complimentary things about them?"

Yes. Think about it for a minute if it is useful for an anti-semite to be able to deny it, he will always praise jews like einstein and freud et al. However from your post it doesnt seem like you are doing this so i will post to you.
This zionist/non-zionist dichotomy you make among jews is a false one. Most American Jews are not zionists. In fact if they were, they probably would be in Israel. Americans feel to israel like italians feel about italy. Its the home country and on holidays we give lip service to the biblical call for jews to head to jerusalem.
But the fact that most jews have a place for israel in their heart does not alter the fact that these same "most jews" also are against israeli excesses when the occur(eg lebanon, concept of greater israel by likud) and so on. So as another famous jew recently said about interest rates: "It's a conundrum." You want me to be open minded and not knee jerk pro-israel, thats fine but i need you not to be reflexivley anti-israel. For instance the 1967 borders (sorry steve) will be the basis of the borders whether steve or you likes it or not. The sharon wall/fence sets those boundaries with small but not insignificant adjustments, particularly in jerusalem All the Palestians have to do to adjust the final borders is to give up terrorism, and recognize israel and if they do so, they will be negotiating with israel in a heartbeat. If they cant do it, israel will set the border and over the next 20 years defacto will become dejure.
The worldwide sympathy for the pals has turned to disgust with their lack of progress since arafat left the scene. The "understanding" if not approval of what sharon has been doing is also quite evident these days as well. The Europeans are changing their tune after their own terror experiences and the futility of the PA. The Pals need the US more than they ever have but they will not get it with Bullshit with the Bush admin. They are expected to behave well.
