As the Bush administration, buttressed by the neo-conservative ideology of Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, et al, vascilates again toward unwavering support of war criminal Ariel Sharon's Israeli government we are faced with the question of why does Isreal need a mole in the US government?
The US has always been an unfair dealer in the middle-east conflict, siding with persons and plans that would continue to marginalize Palestinians and their rights to land, liberty and life.
If this latest flap ultimately leads to Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities or simply stokes the fires of American fundamentalists to fully stock the Promised Land with Jews, the outcome for the larger world will be the necessity to increase US military aid to a state that becomes less and less viable.
Getting rid of Sharon, tearing down the apartheid wall, guaranteeing the Palestinian right of return and emptying the refugee camps are the only rational steps toward peace in Palestine. In the US, AIPAC must be replaced by an organization of American Jews who seek peace and want to use the billions of US dollars targeted for Israel to find a truly just settlement that recognizes Jewish, Arab and Christian right to seek a harmonious existence.
Unseating Bush and sending his neo-con clique on their way to historical obscurity is the great responsibility of US voters this November.
