"By the way, what's the term for a "paleo-con" who supports Israel?
It depends on the reason for your support for Israel and your views on foreign policy."

Good answer.
Unfortunately many people equate Israel, the country, with Judaism, the religion. I support the State of Israel the same as I would support any democratic country being attacked by homicidal maniacs. That many of the citizens of Israel are Jewish doesn't mean a thing to me relative to supporting, or not supporting, the State of Israel. Many Israeli citizens are against the foreign policies of Israel. Are they antisemitic? Some Sunnis would just as soon see the Shia Hezbulla defeated. Are they any less antisemitic?
As far as our foriegn policy goes, it would be better if we proceeded on what was best for our Country, including relations with allies, rather than characterizations for or against a religion or ethnic group.

Hear!! Hear!! And I think God is watching.

I don't like it when terrorism happens to India. When it does, I wonder why we support Pakistan so much.

I think Bin Laden is in their country and I want to go git him.

As far as our foreign policy goes, it would be better if we proceeded on what was best for our Country

maybe we do that and I just don't know all the facts, but there are times when I question our policies.

Thank God, Jesus, no one, Allah, Yeshua, Buddha, and/or all the Hindi God's (it's a free country and the first gift to man) that this feller is not our President

Opposing Israeli policies is completely legitimate.
Opposition to Israel's existence is almost exclusive to anti-Semites.

My answer had more to do with the ideological resons for supporting Israel and/or the war on terror.

I consider myself to be a "civilizationist" in terms of foreign policy. (This neologism, coined by myself and Lawrence Auster in deference to Samuel Huntington, has not quite caught on.)
I see a Clash of Civilizations as the defining issue of our age. We are in conflict with the Islamic world, China, and Russia. By conflict, I do not mean war. Rather we are competing and hostile, with occasional military flare ups. Our natural allies are mostly found among the descendants of Catholic Christendom and their colonies, in particular the majority-European British Commonwealth. Although it does not fit this mold as well as Australia, Israel is part of the West.

Of course, within the West, we have a serious conflict between nationalists, Trans-National Socialists (Tranzis), and Trans-national Corporatists.
