Default Re: more on administration zionists

This is offensive and irrational. Do you discern much difference in the attitudes and policies that these people advocate for the U.S. (beyond just Israel and the Middle East) and those they advocate for Israel? Israel relies on its military strength to impose unilateral solutions on its political conflicts and brooks no competitor within its sphere of influence. These guys want the U.S. to do the same on a global scale. So how does it follow that they seek to advance the "interests" of Israel but not those of the U.S.? It seems that the overall philosophy should be in the interests of both or neither, not just one of them.

BTW, other than the people on your list are (presumably) Jewish, how can you tell the difference between what they want and what the entire activist branch of the foreign policy right wants, especially the Christian right and GOP stalwarts like Tom Delay, even when it comes to U.S.-Israel and the Middle East? If you can't, then you have to conclude that the latter are just as devoted to the "Israel's interests" to the detriment of the U.S., which aside from being implausible under the very presumptions of your critique means that singling out the Jews within this larger homogenous group is gratuitous anti-Semitism.
