Opinion of W. Scott Thompson on US and Israel

Article by Thompson on NYT was reprinted in the New Straits Times today entitled "Like Sharon, the cabal is gone". How interesting to note that under Bush administration the neoconservative cabal, mostly in the Pentagon, prepared strategies to demolish Israel enemies using American resources. The cabal argued that whatever is good for Israel is good for America. Secret intelligent documents in the Pentagon being passed to Israel. Political figures are always at the mercy of Aipac, the Jewish lobby group. For example when in 1980 the presidential candidate John Connoly called for a just peace in the Middle East was regarded as anti-Semitic and they went all out to demolish him. Thompson argued that there should be a real debate about what constitute American interest as opposed to Jewish interest. It could start by stopping the US 5billion annual subsidy to Israel.
