The bipartisan Iraq Study Group links the Iraq War to the Israeli occupation and says it's time to rein in Tel Aviv, a Jewish billionaire (concerned that Tel Aviv's policy is helping increase anti-Semitism) is seeking to build a liberal counterweight to the AIPAC, and the former President of the United States decries apartheid that the Israeli occupation is, _and_ this "liberal" blogger can't stand one anti-war speaker from the most sensible -- and moderate -- coalition among all that are working to end the Israeli occupation, a coalition that includes Jewish groups (see ) and that has been led by a well known and respected Jewish woman intellectual?
Why is this "liberal" blogger to the right of the saner voices (admittedly still only a few, but increasing in number) from _the ruling class_? -- Yoshie
