    Formulating US foreign policy based on the needs of Israel, which we have been doing for 60 years, has caused incalcuable misery for millions of people around the world. Apparently there are some who are now willing to tell the truth about that fact. Hopefully it’s not too late.

    Reduced to a nutshell: “The question for the Obama administration, Congress and, in the end, perhaps the American public, is: Given present economic problems, should the United States supply the money to make up for reductions the Israelis are making in their own defense budget?”

    A very cautious, limited critique, ignoring human rights problems and Israel’s expansionism. But, coming from the conservative WaPo, it’s a good first step nonetheless. I wonder if anyone will accuse Walter Pincus of antisemitism?

    Pincus isn’t an anti-semite. He’s just a fool.

    And he’s way past retirement age.

    Imhotep, now, he’s an anti-semite.
