AIPAC is shaping foreign policy to favor Israel regardless of any negative implications to America.
By MJ Rosenberg
I agree completely that the idea of the governing Iranian junta possessing a nuclear weapon is appalling. But the United States can do better than punishing the people in the street — millions of whom hate the regime a lot more than we do.
As for Israel, it could make our job easier by stopping the settlements and allowing a viable Palestinian state to be created in he West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. The horrific treatment of the Palestinians by Israel is the #1 thing the mullahs have going for them as they line up the Muslim world behind them and against us. Israel can take that pretext away by ending the occupation.
