"Why Israel?,
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, [Editorial], September 19, 2003
"Putting aside the second-class citizenship of the non-Jews in Israel and the spying of Jonathan Pollard and who knows how many others and the stealing of enriched uranium for their nuclear bombs, it is granted that Israel has some kind of representative government. So does Palestine. So what? The U.S.A. has given Israel $100 billion directly and the second Iraqi war is being fought for the benefit of Israel. The total cost to us is on the order of a quarter of $1 trillion. What has Israel ever done for us? Now comes Senator Joseph Lieberman, who says it is a tradition for us to support Israel; therefore, I guess, we support Israel. Can one imagine him as President making decisions on that basis?"
