>> and I think you views are very susceptible of being construed as anti-Israel at best << tell me something. what do you think the general view of the american public is toward israel? pro-israel, neutral, or anti-israel? any rational person would have to argue that it is decisively pro-israel. so perhaps i seem excessively anti-israel because everyone else tilts in favor of israel. after all, what do we constantly hear in the media? israel is one of our greatest allies. israel is a strategic partner and the only 'democracy' in the region. sounds like a pro-israel bias if i ever heard one. follow the money trail. $100 billion in foreign aid to israel, over $20,000 for every man, woman and child. the founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves at this notion. george washington said we should "act for ourselves and not for others," and we should form an "american character, wholly free from foreign attachments." thomas jefferson said, "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations - entangling alliances with none." john quincy adams said, "The political system of the United States is essentially extra-European. To stand in firm and cautious independence of all entanglement in the European system has been a cardinal point of their policy under every administration of their government from the peace of 1783 to this day...Every year's experience rivets it more deeply in the principles and opinions of the nation." now ask yourself a hard question. has israel, our "ally", become an "entangling alliance"? has israel become a "foreign attachment"? any objective observer would have to conclude yes. once you have concluded that there is an emotional attachment to israel in america, and that this entangling attachment causes nothing but problems for america, then you must ask yourself who is putting israel's interests ahead of the interests of the united states? that's when you come to the jewish question. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that jews (and some misguided christians) are the ones with an emotional attachment to israel. it is actually a dual allegiance, which is treacherous and unpatriotic. with some jews their allegiance to israel is even greater than their allegiance to america. americans should have an allegiance only to this country. not to israel, not to britain, not to the UN, not to the new world order, not to global government. >> and anti-Semitic at worst.... << anyone who dares to challenge jewish supremacy is an anti-semite. all the jews have to do is decide that they don't like your independent thinking and knowledge of their subversive activities, and automatically you become an anti-semite. fine. you want to call me an anti-semite you go right ahead. just be aware that many jews in powerful positions are anti-american. i would rather be an anti-semite than anti-american.
