The war in Washington and in American public opinion is now being waged not only by old Democratic friends of Israel, but also by spirited and battle-ready neoconservatives who wish to rescue Israel from its enemies - and from a good beating administered by the United States. The conservative protest against the administration's new policies toward Israel has scored significant gains. Political commentators in the U.S. capital believe that one of the reasons for the softening of President Bush's rhetoric toward Israel, in which he moderated his demands for an immediate withdrawal and even showered compliments upon Sharon ("a man of peace"), was his sense that excessively heavy pressure on Israel could exact a heavy political cost in the domestic arena. Until this past year, "the political cost" of Israel-related issues meant a loss of the Jewish vote, but now this has spawned much graver concerns - not only the loss of Jewish voters (who in any case have never supported Bush), but the undermining of Bush's primary power base in the Republican camp - the Christian right and the neoconservatives. An inventory of friends of Israel inside the Republican right reveals a broad diversity of supporters who do not always hold uniform opinions. The latest wave of support is led by neoconservative intellectuals, including such high-profile columnists and opinion shapers as Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol and Norman Podhoretz. Many members of this group are Jews; many of them originated in the left and over the years moved to the American right. Neoconservatism, which began in the Reagan era as a marginal feature in the Republican landscape, now represents the ideological spearhead of the camp, and the White House pays a great deal of attention to its opinions.
