[Peace-discuss] "The Growing Antisemitism Scam"

[Morton K. Brussel]

In my view, this begs the question: Are there not many Zionist Americans who have a dual loyalty to Israeli interests over and above American interests. I say yes. 

The arguments here seem irrelevent to this, Chomsky or Finkelstein and "Congressional support and general support among the political class" notwithstanding.

Until then, the "dual loyalty" charge could be yielded against them; after 1967, not so much. There are obviously those who have decided to emigrate, but that is neither here nor there regarding Congressional support and general support among the political class. Far from dual loyalty, loyalty to the U.S. and Israel are seen as one. As Chomsky and Finkelstein have also stated, when Israel is no longer central to American hegemony, its support will prove not to be rooted in a sincere support for Jewish nationalism; even if they love to sing Hatikvah.
