How much is that saying?

"On Iran, considerations of the Israeli lobby and Israel do come into play to some degree, I don't know how much... But they do. It is seen as a different animal...""

is a VERY different statement than "the Israel lobby forced ...." as is implied by your headline.

One of W&M's other notable achievements has been the forging Richard Witty into one of the most prolific apologists Zionism has ever known.

By the way Richard, are you a pseudonym for Marty Peretz, or do you merely idolize him?

I prefer the term advocate for liberal Zionism, to "apologist".

Americans have put Israel on a pedestal, and that has to rectified.

Israel, and the neocon American Jewish PACS, don't seem to understand how they are being played, or used, by others, as a wedge, to isolate America from the rest of the Middle East, and world. The war drum is continually pounded by these groups, making them look unreasonable, and unstable. This, as opposed to intelligent diplomacy.

America will suffer strategically and economically if it does not recognize Israel's crimes against the Arabs, including torture and genocide. Once Israel is seen for what it really is, as opposed to an old ideal, progress can be made here, and in the middle east..

Liberal Zionism: First we ethnically cleanse Palestine, then we talk about human rights and the great progressive Jewish tradition.

Liberal Zionism: First we send our sons and daughters to kill Arabs, then we let them smoke weed in a commune and travel the world for a few years.
