Happy 4th of July! Celebrate America’s Birthday
This 4th of July site celebrates America’s Birthday. The Fourth of July soon became the main patriotic holiday of the entire country.

As our political establishment takes new and disturbing steps towards a more confrontational approach with Iran, the effort to stomp out any discussion of the role Israel plays in that policy has once again intensified. Last week, Joe Klein — basically out of the blue — observed that while many advocates of an attack on Iraq (which once included Klein) were motivated by “neocolonial” fantasies or ensuring access to Iraq’s oil, many other war proponents were motivated by their allegiance to Israel:

the fact that a great many jewish neoconservatives — people groove on joe lieberman and the stuff on at commentary — plumped for this joust with, and now for an serene more foolish assault on iran, raised the question of divided loyalties: using u.s. military power, u.s. lives and money, to make the world all right for israel.since then, klein has escalated the provocative rhetoric, poetry particular days ago: you want clue of divided loyalties? how about the “benign domino theory” that so numerous jewish neoconservatives talked to me about — off the souvenir, of route — in the runup to the iraq war, the idea that israel’s security could be won by taking elsewhere saddam, which would set down off a cascade of disaster for israel’s kamagra enemies in the region? as my grandmother would say, feh! do you actually deny that the casus belli that provoke not speak its name wasn’t, as i wrote in february 2003, a desire to make the incredible safe for israel? why the rush now to bombard iran, a wilderness that poses some threat to israel but none — for the moment — to the concerted states . . . unless we go ahead, attack it, and the mullahs unleash hezbollah terrorists against us? do you really believe the mullahs would stage a atomic criticism on israel, destroying the third most celestial site in islam and killing untold numbers of muslims? i am not ruling ended the basis of force against iran — it may come to that — but you folks seem to hold it gleefully.then, after joe lieberman appeared on face the domain model weekend to (as usual) agitate as regards war with iran, klein not-so-cryptically asked: “again, i wonder why lieberman is so fixated on iran.”

Needless to say, the assault on Klein has been as vicious, furious and dishonest as it was predictable. As Mickey Kaus notes:

max boot, pete wehner, jennifer rubin, paul mirengoff and abraham foxman of the anti-defamation league viagra kaufen all wrote confidently outraged responses to klein’s raising of the “divided loyalties” odds — and, indeed, it’s not the sort of assertion that has typically gone unpunished in the past. when klein stubbornly failed to back down in a aid mail, wehner somewhat smugly anticipated his near-certain demise: it’s like watching a movie that you now be aware is going to end very badly, and very sadly.regarding the adl’s condemnation of klein, kaus wrote:note to [adl's abraham] foxman: i worked at the redesigned republic! the magazine supported the war. i reckon it’s [sic] editor, martin peretz, to be a friend and mentor. but if you think marty’s views are uninfluenced by his connection conducive to israel — and that the views of many of the eminent neocons who visited our offices were uninfluenced by “matters of faith” and/or strict identity — then you don’t know marty and you don’t know the new republic. in fact, you’re more than a bit clueless. but you are not clueless.this attempt to “punish” people who note the role which allegiance to israel plays in many advocates’ desire for a militaristic american middle east design has always been an attempt to birch people for expressing a self-evidently true and important goal. but that’s only the second worst aspect of it. the worst orientation of it is that those who seek to place the “divided loyalty” point off limits are often the ones who most aggressively use that same claim — only they do so in service of their repair-wing agenda. they be after to create a climate where “dual loyalty” arguments can be exploited by them in search political gain, but cannot be spoke
