Did Israel lead the US into the war on Iraq? The US-based Jewish Voice for Peace examines this rarely discussed issue.
Israel’s security is clearly a major factor in this debate. Many leading Americans, Jewish and non-Jewish, believe that the interests of Israel and America coincide. The Jewish state is not the leading factor in shaping US Middle East policy yet maintaining and reinforcing Israel is a clear goal of every US administration.
If the US is damaged from this war, Israel’s hands are equally bloodied.
