'If we give immunity to blacks who loot and burn business districts of major American cities and to Jews who murder US citizens, what does it mean to hold Muslims, Russians, and Chinese accountable?'
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Recently, a Jewish reader wrote to me that he thinks for himself and reads my website. Many Jews think for themselves. There is Jewish opposition within Israel to Israel’s confiscation of the West Bank. Some years ago I hosted an Israeli delegate to a Presbyterian Church conference in Atlanta. She had come to try to persuade the Christians to disinvest from Israel as a means of pressuring Israel to cease evicting Palestinians from lands they had occupied for 2,000 years. She had a higher sense of justice than the Christians, who refused her plea.
When most gentiles speak of “the Jews” they mean Jewish lobbies such as ADL, AIPEC, not every Jew. The impact of The Israel Lobby on US foreign policy is documented in the book of that title by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt, two of America’s most prominent foreign affairs experts.
