Buchanan was attacked from both sides, my point has to do with why is it illegitimate, or worse -anti-Semitic, to question the wisdom of America's support for Israel?

The Dems are reversing course so fast it’s hard to keep up.
It was just recently that, to the Democrats, bashing Israel and the ‘occupation’ was acceptable and not anti-Semitic. The resolution Congress cooked up is based on the House muzzie’s criticism of Israel, not of Jews. But in order to extend the resolution to the mythical backlash against muslims for Islamic atrocities, it was necessary that it morph into protection of peoples, not countries.
Congress now has its cake and gets to eat it, too. What was once, in their minds, two separate issues is now one issue, and one of the strands has been flipped on its head.
Buchanan may have been attacked by a couple of sincere Democrats after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, but I guarantee that was the last time.
Any pro-Israel statements issued by the Democrat Party after the 1973 War have been pure political BS.
As to America's support for Israel - why would we not support Israel?
They live on a geo-politically strategic piece of land.
They tenaciously defend themselves.
They are the only country in the world that would actually fight to defend the USA.
They are smart, they are highly productive, and they share the same cultural and political values that most Americans embrace.
Um . . . the same reason it was "un-American" to oppose Rhodesia???
If there was any difference between the Communist world's attitude towards Rhodesia and its attitude towards Israel, perhaps you will enlighten me.
