Under indictment for what in my opinion essentially amounts to betraying the United States, and he's still openly so welcomed and cited? And, moreover, when his defense so far at least appears to be not that he didn't do it, but instead that everyone else does it too?

I'd like someone to tell me how this doesn't essentially amount to openly giving the finger of disdain to non-jewish Americans. So *what* if everyone else does it (which is dubious anyway); that doesn't mean it's not a betrayal. Nor do I see anyone else openly embracing any of those others who supposedly have done it either.

Appears to me you have to admit there can at least seem to be a kind of dual, exoteric/esoteric nature to the discourse of Israeli partisans a la Leo Strauss. To the rubes and boobs and outsiders and others who don't pay attention, yes, Israel and its enthusiasts love the U.S. and are good loyal allies and etc. and so forth. When talking amongst themselves however, esoterically, a very different understanding seems to be clearly apparent.

Some threads ago Ed talked about how deep down Zionists "hate" gentiles and Sword of Gideonthepoint responded by saying he didn't know of any such who so hated. But what about disdain? This Rosen business, with an organization that bills itself as providing the news to the jewish people giving this guy this space to criticize the appointment of a U.S. official just offends the hell out of me.

Like Mark Twain said, even a dog knows the difference between being tripped over and being kicked. How the hell do any Israeli partisans expect that non-jews aren't going to just dismiss all their comments as being of the exoteric variety, having no connection to reality or the truth or etc. except insofar as it helps preserve a false public face?

I'd sure like to see the JTA get some letters or comments from its U.S. jewish readers at least repudiating this platform-giving to Rosen.
