Moral Identity? Like in ethical, virtuous, righteous, noble? Are we still talking about Israel? If this is the only basis for our relationship with Israel, and I agree that it is, it's no better than saying we support Israel "just because"! We are the only country in the world that supports Israel -- what do we see here that appears to have been missed by the rest of the world. The whole world is wrong and we are right -- Hmmmmmm

You seem to have missed the point of this post. It was intended for the poster above, a former Allan Keyes worker and anti-Israel poster. One might say that his principled moral argument is even more damaging to her assertions regarding patriotism since they rest on principles and beliefs for Keyes rather than anything else. Alas, though, she has distanced herself from his position on this issue and therefore has relegated Keyes to not being a patriotic American. Now, insofar as your point about the relationship being "missed" by the rest of the world. From Keyes perspective I'd think he'd answer you that he's not concerned about the majority of other countries but about principle. The European Union, the U.N., you be the judge of these cabals and their moral and geo-political claims. But I think you've overstated the point. In real terms the situation is not as stark as you assert. The problem is principally seen in the U.N. which he talks about. The U.N., with it's hijacked agenda by the Islamic countries is not going to be the basis upon which one should direct a foreign policy.

My own personal opinion is that Keyes is understating the geo-political and strategic reasons for support of Israel.

Please stop lying about me and distorting the truth. And please stop lying and saying I dont think this or that or WHATEVER about Keyes! You do NOT know my heart towards him nor do you know on what issues we disagree, tho it should be obvious to most that if I were to have cared enough to volunteer my time for his campaign I certainly agree with him more than I disagree.

I certainly am "on his side" enough to feel upset that YOU would try to smear him because of me or me because of him.

Now, you can parse these words too, into a million little peices and reconstruct them to fit your needs, I ask that you don't but expects that you will (hard to drop your MO, ya know)..
