Could Israel Drag America into a War with Iran? - Newsweek.com Interesting article. I agree with the many of the premises laid down, we should not continually stand up for an ally that continually spits in our faces.

Zionism is rooted in geo-political aspirations. The seat of Palestine is a strategic one, we didn't choose it completely because of its historical significance to Jews. The jews gullible enough to support a Jewish state and donate to neocons are of little influence.
Unfortunately, the major backers of Democratic candidates as well are Jewish members of the Hollywood elite, the financial services industry, and that all important constituency of older Jews living in Florida. Clintons got her head screwed on straight with this one though.
