Israel's Fifth Column
Enabling Netanyahu benefits no one

When
I was in college back in the 1960s a Jewish friend and I got into a
discussion after Israel’s overwhelming victory in the June 1967 “Six day
war.” I observed that many of the Jewish students who were exulting
over kicking the crap out of the Arabs were at the same time leaders of
the anti-war movement on campus, which opposed the Vietnam War.
Admittedly media coverage of Vietnam was already becoming negative and
the press descriptions of what had gone on in the Middle East falsely
represented a beleaguered Israeli David by sheer grit and valor
defeating an overwhelming Arab Goliath, so it was possible to
distinguish in practical terms between the two conflicts. One was
defense and the other was American imperialism, or so it could be
construed by those who chose to see it that way.http://www.unz.com/article/israels-fifth-column/
