We don't have to go back even that far. Let us not forget that George H. W. Bush was almost inarguably the most anti-Israel president in US history. It is hard to forget his characterization, during the 1991 fight over loan guarantees to Israel, of himself as "one lonely little guy" up against "something like a thousand (pro-Israel) lobbyists on the hill working the other side of the question,"... a statement not only ridiculous but sulfurous in the extreme.

But the sins of the father are not visited on the son. JFK was a friend of Israel though his father was an anti-semite; RFK, indeed, was not only pro-Israel, but ended up losing his life as a result, when the Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan shot him.

So too it is with George W. I don't care if his great-grandfather co-authored the Protocols... it ain't his doing!! Certainly a people who have been unfairly tarred with the brush of responsibility for the supposed deeds of our ancestors (Matthew
27:25 "His blood be upon us and upon our children) should be careful about bearding Bush II with misdeeds that predated his majority and in some cases his birth. Even Truman, midwife at the birth of the Jerwish State, cannot lay claim to having been a better friend of Israel than Dubya can, and Prescott's deals, tainted or otherwise, cannot be laid at Dubya's doorstep. Well said Altalena, many have attempted to defile George W. with the anti-Israel/Jew label, which is unfortunate and being ill-informed. Though, I have questioned and disagreed with some of his policies and ill chosen advisers; Israel will lose a great ally, if he is booted form the Oval Office.
