FTA: "that America must unquestioningly stand on Israel's side and support it, not just in this conflict but in all of Israel's various wars -- is a view which 7 out of 10 Americans reject. Conversely, the view which 70% of Americans embrace -- that the U.S. should be neutral and even-handed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict generally -- is one that no mainstream politician would dare express."

This is, indeed, news to me. For years, all I've heard was the official US position of unconditional support for Israel, no matter what.-

Many people are hearing things, Candida. You're no exception...
You see, the US did and will support Israel for as long as American and Israeli interests are similar. Similarity of interests is the real reason behind the US support of Israel, not some mythical "Jewish conspiracy". We all know it, including you.
This is the reason Hyperbola, you, Berkeley and others are spreading bombastic lies about "crimes against humanity", "apartheid", "stolen lands", "racism", etc. You KNOW that people everywhere and Americans in particular will never agree to support these things and you hope that at least some of them who are less informed will believe in your lies and will demand the US government to change its policis towards Israel.-

Sorry thinker, Israel has been the biggest albatross around america's neck for a long time now. It is only because of corrupt, bought politicians and media that we have not ended all support for Israel long ago. American jews would be wise to rein in the zionists very soon before a serious blowback begins.

The surprsing thing Candida is that Americans are coming to this conclusion DESPITE the vast amount of zionist propaganda in our corporate media. Did you see this blazoned all over the media in the US?

Top Israeli rabbis advocate genocide
Yesterday I wrote a piece entitled "Israel's House of Horrors" about the openly murderous statements of Israeli cabinet ministers. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I read a news article on the website of The Jerusalem Post that Israel's former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu -- one of the most senior theocrats in the Jewish State "ruled that there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians ...
... The Jerusalem Post reported that Mordechai made this ruling in a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert citing biblical authority. The letter was published in a weekly journal distributed in synagogues throughout Israel. ...
This kind of genocidal hatred of Palestinians is not unusual in Israel. What used to be unusual was for it to be spoken so brazenly and openly. Of course we know what would happen if a Muslim or Palestinian religious figure made such a statement. We know the international outcry when Iran's President Ahmadinejad made statements calling for the elimination of Israel. Will all those EU officials who curried favor by condemning Ahmedinejad take an equally strong and public stance against Israel's former chief rabbi? Will they demand that Olmert publicly repudiate the letter he received?
A Muslim making such statements about Jews would certainly be banished from traveling to the United States, and could end up in Guantanamo for much less.
Under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide adopted in the wake of the Nazi holocaust, "Direct and public incitement to commit genocide" is a punishable act. One wonders whether the UN Security Council, which created an international tribunal to investigate the killing of one man in Lebanon, will pay any attention to the indiscriminate state- and theocratically-sanctioned massacres of Palestinians by Israel....
