Thanks for the very clear exposition. ...and yet the Israeli state is not 
finally just an arm of U.S. foreign policy; I mean, we are looking at a 
marriage of convenience here between 20th century poster children of 
genocide (jews) and the most powerful imperialist nation on earth (the 
U.S.). You must admit that this has resulted in a symbiosis that has 
benefitted both partners...but not ultimately (I would argue), the jewish 
people.
