Does 'America take the side of Israel'?
|
The Boston Globe`s resident Israel-apologist, Jeff Jacoby, alleges that America`s foreign policy is so pro-Israel because the American people are so pro-Israel.
In short, solidarity with Israel is an abiding feature of American public opinion. Because the American people are pro-Israel, the American government is pro-Israel. And because Americans so strongly support Israel in its conflict with the Arabs, American policy in the Middle East is committed to Israel's defense.
That may be true. But it still does not disprove the recent Harvard study about the Israeli lobby - which would appear to be what Jacoby is trying to discredit in his article. For, if our mainstream media is pro-Israel (which the Harvard report alleges, as do many other organizations, and this writer), then Americans will never have a chance to hear another side of the story, and thus could never be anything BUT pro-Israel - which is exactly one of the points of the study.
Pro-Israeli media `watchdogs` such as CAMERA, honestreporting.com and countless other pro-Israeli organizations by way of their tireless lobbying efforts see to it that you will never see the Palestinians as anything other than barbaric jihadis. But I know that this propaganda campaign is not based on fact. And I am not the only one.
We are the only nation in the world that is so ardently pro-Israel. And we are also the only nation in the world whose pro-Israeli lobby is so powerful.
Coincidence? I think not.
