Jack, you Hammered the nail squarely on its head.
Hard for me to give a damn about Israel when American Jews vote against Israeli interests election after election.
The problem is that Israel is our best - and virtually only reliable - ally in the Middle East. To alienate Israel leaves us reliant on the character and integrity of the Moslem people and their rulers, and that’s not something you want when you’re attempting to formulate an effective Middle East foreign policy.
In this, as in so many areas, the current administration strikes out on common sense.
