Pro-Israel fascists on the move

[Heer, Jeet (National Post)]

As mentioned earlier, I think the focus of any real understanding of
Israel's role in the Middle East has to include the over-riding context of
U.S. foreign policy. Just as the settlers serve as an attack dog the
Israeli's can unleash on the Palestinians, Israel itself has become (post
1967), America's attack dog against Arab nationalism. Some zionists are
actually proud of this role: I remember an ad from FLAME which celebrated
Israel as a giant military base that the U.S. can call upon when needed. By
becoming a mercenary army on behalf of the US, Israel has deferred any
chance of becoming a "normal state". So instead of focusing on Israeli
"facism" it might be better to look at U.S. imperialism.
