I spent four years living and working under the Israeli occupation. I spent a further six years working in other "front line" countries and a further five years supporting a range of public and private sector concerns in the region. I have seen it up close and personal. It has nothing to do with hate. It has everything to do with deep concern for US national interests. Our national security has been subverted to support the expansionist policies of the Israeli government - labor and likud. That does not serve us well. Most Americans are completely ignorant of the facts. If they knew, they would not stand for it.
