This is what Alterman wrote:
"...we ought to be honest enough to at least imagine a hypothetical clash between American and Israeli interests. Here, I feel pretty lonely admitting that, every once in a while, I'm going to go with what's best for Israel."
That's equivocal enough to allow for a number of interpretations, and the most charitable (i.e. sometimes we ought to subordinate the interests of our own community to the interests of another) is entirely unobjectionable.
