Once again Gary demonstrates why he is one of the best writers at Salon. He points out the 800 lbs. gorilla (Israel) in the room (American politics) and gets the exact kneejerk responses that US politicians avoid by ignoring the gorilla.
A diplomatic solution is the only solution to the ongoing strife, and a hard look at Israel, to include their nuclear arsenal and the blank check we annually provide them with, is not anti-semitic. Our foreign policy needs to based on fairness with our allies and diplomacy with our enemies, not automatically praising one while castigating another.
Between writers like Gary and Glenn Greenwald, perhaps this issue will finally see daylight.
