"If "protecting Israel" meant attacking Iran, there is every chance Bush would be impeached--and convicted. Israel does not run US foreign policy--and it's verging on anti-Semitism to suggest that it does. I hope nobody is suggesting this."

Surely one is either anti semitic or not.
Anyone who thinks that America does not take the State of Israel's aspirations into account when formulating it's foreign policy is indeed guilty of "ignorance or worse"

And I am no anti-semite....Name calling is the easy way out on this forum.
Peter T was addressing US foreign policy, not religious bigotry..Ake
