administration would be hard-pressed
to find a lot of Jews in it," Shoshana
Bryen said. "Most would be inclined
to believe [the administration's support
for Israel] would have more to do with
the Christian influence instead of the
Jewish influence."
The Hudson Institute's Weinstein
agrees.
"It was not Jewish leaders; primarily,
it was Christian leaders who got the
message to the administration," he
said.
That President Bush, clearly the
most pro-Israel president in American
history, is himself a born-again
Christian is a point worth noting —
and most neocons believe that the
Christian right's fervent support of
Israel has likely had more effect on
Bush's own views than the views of his
Jewish friends.

noted, the most ardent opposition to
Bush's declaration to implement a road
map to an Israeli-Palestinian peace has-
n't been AIPAC, the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee, but the
Christian right.
The paper noted that at an April
rally of Jews and Christians in the
Capital, Christian right leader Gary
Bauer, president of American Values,
said, "Whoever sits in Washington and
suggests to the people of Israel that
they have to give up more land in
exchange for peace, that is an obsceni-
ty. "
Why then are the Jews getting all
the blame?
According to one neocon who has
given the subject a lot of thought, cer-
tain groups of people will always be
looking for an explanation to some-
thing they cannot readily explain —
and Jews, especially ones who don't fit
the norm, are an easy target.
"It is a kind of funny movement,"
the neocon explained, "out of sync
with what we normally consider
American Jewish politics ... it's not
what people expect Jews to do. Jews
are supposed to be liberal. Jews are
supposed to be Democrats. Neocons
do not fit the mold." 0
