That has pleased Israel's supporters in the Jewish community and among an increasingly vocal, fiercely pro-Israel community of evangelicals, who visited the White House at least once during the Lebanon war to voice support for allowing the air attacks on Hezbollah to continue unabated......"Can we rely on the United States alone and say we abdicate our responsibility for dealing with the matter, and let the United States do what it wants? No, by no means.".....The message seemed to Israelis perfectly clear: The Bush administration would demand Israeli concessions on the Palestinian issue to hold together an American-led coalition on Iran. .....No Israeli knows if the next American president will be as tough on Iran or as loyal to Israel as Bush.

11-12-06 - CNN editors pull Palestinian quotes, replace with US This happens a lot and not just on CNN.

Somebody makes sure of that.
