As a supporter of Israel, I have always thought they are our best ally in the Middle East. However, America's self interest is different than the state of Israel. If you are a loyal American, we must do what is best for American self interest. If we share 90% of the same interests, should we remain silent when 10% of the issues hurt America? Do we do this out of loyalty to an ally? However, what if that same ally tries to leverage that historic relationship to possibly bring harm to Americans where the issues fall squarely in that 10% range where our interests are not the same?
I suggest that the current leadership of Israel better proceed very carefully. The dog will not be wagged by the tail. We will not be blackmailed in an election year to put our kids in harms way when we are talking about those interest which are not mirror image issues. Americans do not take being pushed around by our enemies, or our friends.
