"Why is their version of reality always the one we must subscribe to here--Israel, a state that routinely elects generals as prime ministers and has invaded its neighbors like we go to the candy store, and occupied Palestine for 40 years."

A great question, rhetorical in nature, that speaks volumes. Thank you Phil.

I would really be interested in finding examples of other states whose policies create big externalities for the US in relation to which US officials says something like X is going to do what X is going to do regardless of what the US says.

The Obama campaign has sent dozens of Jewish surrogates — including Jewish members of Congress and well known figures in the community such as Ed Koch and Dennis Ross — to key states to talk about Obama’s background and his views on Israel and the Middle East. “As people got to know him better, they felt a lot more comfortable” with him, Mellman said. –

Naming things is so universally important to human endeavor and so fundamental a prerequisite that it's just taken for granted, but each name we use had its own moment of becoming - before that things were murkier, inexact, inaccurate, unnamed.
No one on the outside has a tighter description for what's being done and who's doing it than "It's the Jews" "It's the Zionists" etc. Which for a lot of us means somehow reconciling neighbors and friends and loved ones and heroes with many of the most despicable acts of the contemporary moment.
Since that reconciling is impossible not to mention heart-breakingly difficult to even consider, it doesn't happen.
So we're all urgently trying to talk about real villains who never get named, except as individuals when they can be seen, or lumped in with other people who have no connection with them at all except the loosest of ethnic and cultural affinities.
It looks like it's the job of people like Richard Witty - who has the credentials and the lack of a radicalized profile - to do that naming, but it hasn't happened yet, and the hour's late.
This is about a lot more than Zionism.

If Witty names a person with a one-sided agenda, you can be sure
it's not good for the USA.
