the threat.
Slowing down Iran's nuclear quest is
not a matter of U.S. "imperialism," but
a serious priority, and not because Israel,
too, is threatened. It, too, will require
effective, credible U.S. leadership and
strong international support. A case can
be made that the Bush administration's
single-minded focus on Iraq,.and the
resulting military mess, has made those
goals far harder to attain.
Rep. Conyers, did a huge disservice to
the nation by allowing his hearing to be
hijacked and turned into political the-
ater with a cliched script and Israel play-
ing the role of designated villain.
There are real threats out there; the
administration's missteps in Iraq may
have made it harder for us and for the
rest of the world to respond appropri-
ately. That's the real issue, not left-wing
fantasies about pro-Israel conspiracies or
silly talk about U.S. imperialism. ❑

Editor's Note: Rep. Conyers told the
Washington Jewish Week "I do not agree
with, support, or condone any com-
ments asserting Israeli control over U.S.
policy, and I find any allegation that
Israel is trying to dominate the world or
had anything to do with the Sept. 11
ragedy disgusting and offensive."

Israel's Critics

The Charge

Jewish "theft" of Palestinian land,
oppression of the Palestinians and
discrimination against Muslims
causes some in the Arab world to
turn to terrorism.

The Answer

Israel has a right to exist and is
observant of international law.
Terrorist incidents, on the other
hand, like that in London on July
7, are illegal, have no justification
and cause death or injury indis-
criminately to innocent victims
young and old, Christian, Muslim
and Jew, male and female. Those
killed or hurt need not be in the
Middle East, be combatants or
have anything to do with the Arab-
Israeli conflict. Terrorists are the
enemies of peace, compromise,
conciliation and tolerance.
