Hmm. You cited James Baker. Do you have any reference links where I can read more on that? It kinda surprised me. I've thought of him as being involved in negotiations between the two sides, but I have never thought of him as having an anti-Israeli interest?
Thanks.
He was, of course, saying *uck the American Jews. You can find references by the hundreds, likely thousands, by plugging the quote into google.
For what it's worth, Jimmy Carter said virtually the same thing at a March, 1980 meeting, If I get back in, I`m going to f--- the Jews
Perhaps some of they Muslim groups that endorsed W in 2000 thought he would have an anti-Israel foreign policy along the lines of his father's administration when James Baker was Secretary of State.
