Read the Israeli press

If you want to understand the conflict here, something I struggle to do, you need to read the Israeli press. For example, today's Ha'aretz has this in it:

Miller writes that many ethnic groups, such as the Irish and the Cubans, are deeply involved in American foreign relations; however, no group in America can compete with the clout of the Jewish community with its influence on centers of power. This former senior Jewish official is the first to accuse the U.S. administrations of the last 15 years, both Democratic and Republican, of a bias in the Israeli-Arab conflict.

You simply could not write something like that in a Western newspaper. You'd be branded anti-Semitic.
