Doesn't calling Wolfowitz a "Likudnik" qualify as an assumption or suspicion that he puts Israel's interests over America's? Maybe. It depends. I've stated here before that I find the recent moves that Sharon has made most encouraging. On that basis one could reasonably refer to me casually as a Likudnik in discussions on the subject. I prefer what Sharon's Likud is doing to earlier Israeli approaches. I wouldn't necessarily read that label to mean what you said. P.S I added to the post to which you responded right after I posted it, while you were apparently in the process of responding. P.P.S. I got into this because I agree with this comment by JohnM. I don't think that statement is inherently anti-semitic and I think it's a big mistake to cry bigotry too easily. The black leadership does that all the time now and it's not helping them. From JohnM: "My latest response has been simply to criticize the assertion you make and Bill made in the text that started this that it was antisemitic to criticize the close ties between the Bush administration and the Sharon administration. My criticism, stated again, is that (a) it's not anti-semitic and (b) to use the term to label such criticism is to diminish its power. In a time in which its needed."
