First, I agree that the initial question, from whomever it was, that Jews'
"loyalty" is in question was quite anti-Semitic.

This is unfortunate, because the basic issue is one that seems to merit
discussion.  Where does Israel get off spying on the United States, who is
their greatest friend in the world?  Who gives them all these neat weapons?
Who is continually jeapordizing its energy sources out of friendship to
Israel?  Who is probably the greatest single reason that Israel still
survives?  Who is always willing to look the other way when Israel blatantly
violates agreements concerning the use of US weapons such as fighter planes
and cluster bombs?  I mean, this really stinks!

I think we should support Israel, provided we make weapons sales contingent
on adherence to the terms of their sale and make economic aid contingent on
the abolition of theocratic laws, but another incident like this and I will
have to start wondering if the government isn't too corrupt and unreliable
to deal with on any friendly basis.  Talk about a stab in the back!
