If Washington can back up their talk and give the Israelis consequences for their actions then I'll be impressed...

I'm not an anti-Semite, but I can see how someone could easily get turned into one...

No, the word you are looking for is anti-zionist. I don't see how this despicable move by Israel should make me not like Jewish people as a whole.

I wasn't referring to Israel, but their defenders in the form of nearly every Jewish organization out there. Again, I'm not an anti-Semite, but I can understand how people that don't know a lot of Jews on a personal level could be...

Well, the propaganda rag of the anti-defamation league is rather insignificant in terms of political ramifications.  By far, it's non-Jewish support for Israel that provides the bulk of the domestic momentum for our Israel policy, rather than some Jewish elite conspiracy.  Poll after poll confirms this.

Non-Jewish support for Israel is heavily influence by our oh so unbiased media, which holds up the ADL as the standardbearer for Jewish opinion. I even think that the majority of Evangelical support for Israel is thin, based on false information from the media, political elites, and dispensationalist televangelists. Don't kid yourself, Jewish special interest groups and Jewish Americans in the media have a lot to do with this. There is generally a healthy and robust debate within Israel about their policies, but most people in America wouldn't know that at all. The things you read in Haaretz written by Jews or said by Peace Now activists would bring down a firestorm of accusations of anti-Semetism in the U.S.
