In her column of September 22,2011 Jennifer Rubin severely scolds President Obama and President Clinton for deviating from the AIPAC and Neo-Conservative line on Israel. Not anything like a surprise from an American Likudnik.

But here is James Renton at Open Security offering some very important background information that might just put this polemical outburst into a context; as more readily understood as a holding action, to prevent the collapse of a historically untenable exceptionalism.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
