She didn't blame Israel; she blamed neo-con ''support'' for Israel. There is a difference. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 16:26, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

:::::No it isn't clear at all. The fact is that a large part of the reason Islamist terrorists want to attack us is because of US supprot for Israel. This is not a controversial claim, but a well documented fact. Pointing out this fact is in no way anti-Israel or anti-semitic and is not blaming Israel or the US for terrorist attacks. Accepting the realityof what motivates our enemy is not the same thing as validating that motivation.

:::It seems that she feels that the US is spending US lives on the defense of the state of Israel. I don't agree with this sentiment, but there is nothing anti-semetic about it. One can quite easily dislike many things about the state of Israel, and disagree with the support that the US gives it, without having any animosity against Jews.
