Fair point. I would argue it is because they hate the Christian Serbs and their ally, Christian Russia more than they fear the impact on Israel of Islamic inroads into Europe, which they already regard as anti-Semitic anyway. I would also argue that the Neocons like the idea of conflicts between native Europeans and Muslims in Europe because it hastens the path to WWIII (or IV...whatever) which will then hasten the West's conquer and occupation of the Middle East in a replay of WWII in a different theater. The Neocons believe this sequence of events would, in the long run, be good for Israel. Now the Israeli government was indeed opposed to the recognition of Kosovo, and its nationalist real politic (as opposed to abstract theoretical) perspective is one reason I have more respect for Jewish Zionists living in Israel than I do those living in America (although I disagree with Israel's state-enforced racialism, which, like affirmative action in America, begets resentment and tribalism, only there it begets terrorism, too). Jewish and Christian Zionist Neocons dwelling in America live in an abstract, insular universe where the consequences of their pretentious schemes and bizarre superstitions never touch them, and so the sky is the limit. Indeed, they are probably as dangerous to Israel as they are to America, if not more so. What if their WWIII didn't go the way the Neocons planned, as the Iraq war hasn't, and Israel paid the ultimate price? The Neocons would just shrug and blame someone else, as they have with Iraq. The Neocons can probably best be described as half-assed Zionists, half-assed Americans, half-assed state capitalists and half-assed socialist universalists. They’re a jumble of contradictions; no wonder their polices are so screwed up, and have screwed over America so badly. Sent at: 2008 07 04
