My Way News - Israel lobby critics face campus queries in Israel
AP reports: "The pair argue that pro-Israel special interest groups have manipulated the U.S. political system to promote policies that favor Israel and run counter to American interests. Jewish American groups and U.S. administration officials have criticized them."

Comment: Moral relativism is a dangerous thing. Isn't Israel a democratic ally of the United States? Isn't Israel a democratic state surrounded by repressive countries that would love to destroy it? Don't such circumstances call for an extraordinary level of commitment and support? And when such support is provided the critics wonder why Israel is treated like a special case and demand that we don't preference Israel. I don't get it, but then again, I'm part of the Israel lobby.
