America and Israel:

A reader writes:

it seems to me both neocons (esp. Jewish neocons) and leftists (esp. Jewish leftists) put themselves in ridiculous positions by equating Israel and America.

Neocons think America should run around invading Arab countries because they think America is in the same position as Israel (i.e. surrounded by a billion implacably hostile Arabs). They like (maybe liked) Bush because they equated him with Sharon (well, today Netanyahu).

Leftists think Israel should appease Arabs because they think Israel is in the same position as America (i.e. Israel can AVOID being surrounded by a billion implacably hostile Arabs). So they think Israel should be as dovish as America, and loathed Sharon because they equated him with Bush.

The flaw in both views is, of course, that America is not Israel, and vice versa.
