Israel's supporters are constantly equating Israeli and American interests, values, etc. with the implication that "We are the good guys against those aweful savages." Anyone who attacks this sacred cow does so at their own peril! > By now the list of such attacks is quite long: "Israel supplies arms to > anti-Israel terrorists", "Israel chased out the Palestinians", "Israel > connived to instigate the 1967 war", etc. These accusations just happen to be true, and it is precisely what some of us have attempted to prove. I believe this is a legitimate exercise.
