"The [Pro-Israel] Lobby has succeeded in redefining anti-Semitism to include any criticism of Israeli behavior, an inferred threat that prompts all major media to ignore or sanitize reports of Israeli violations." -- Paul Findley, U.S. Republican Congressman, (1961-83)

"I've never seen a president-I don't care who he is-stand up to them [the Israelis]. It just boggles your mind. -They always get what they want. The Israelis know what's going on all the time. ...

Our citizens don't have any idea what goes on." -- Admiral Thomas Moorer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, July 1970-June 1974

Imagine a member of the KKK going on the Bill O’Reilly show and declaring all African-Americans are shiftless crackheads. Imagine the outrage and calls for Fox News to be investigated for promoting racism and hatred. Now imagine an Israeli diplomat going on Bill O’Reilly’s show and declaring all Muslims are terrorists. In fact, this happened, and nobody is calling the diplomat, Dan Gillerman, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, a racist or are there demands Fox News be investigated for promoting racism and hatred. In Bushzarro world, it is fine and dandy to characterize all Muslims as terrorists.
