I worry when anything clouds anyone's judgment. Israel isn't by any means perfect, but we back them consistantly. We arm them. We protect them. We champion them when others question the bulldozing of buildings or the erection of walls around Palestianians. I think that a good ally has even handed involvement. Help when needed, but call them on their bullshit aswell. A nation-to-nation friendship should be as a person-to-person friendship. We seem to be in a codependant relationship with Israel, who is passive aggressive. I find the implications from the article in the OP facinating, if telling about the dangers of blind loyalty.
