Well said, Gary. The U.S. has coddled and at the same time kowtowed to Israel for far too long. It's time to stop the madness and hold them accountable...without feeling like doing so somehow makes us Holocaust supporters and anti-Semites. This isn't a "Jewish" thing, it's an "Israeli" thing. And they need to begin acting like a responsible nation rather than a rogue state bent on fomenting ill will and perpetual war. Or, perhaps, that's just what they want, much the same as the neo-cons who blindly support Israel.
Hopefully, more Americans will begin to see Israel for what it is, namely a bully that is fast running out of friends who are willing to put up with all their nonsense. I'm sorry, but their free "pity pass" from the Holocaust has long since expired. It's time to start having some pity and legitimate concern for those who deserve it: the Palestinians. They have my support. Israel can take a hike!
