Ordinary people can't do much about an Israeli attack if one were to occur. Also many of the Bush regime's insiders are dual Israeli/American
citizens.
There is also a video around that I couldn't find (I realize that's lame) where someone goes into the middle eastern section of the state department
and has trouble finding anyone looking at anything but from an Israeli perspective.
Usually a foreign affairs department will make use of those of it's citizens, who have backrounds from overseas, to staff departments of state
dealing with those areas. The whole middle east is overseen in the US State Department overwhelmingly by people of Israeli or Jewish backround.
You should look into the case of the USS Liberty, an American spyship torpedoed, napalmed and strafed by Israel during the Six Day War. Pay close
attention to the way President Johnson handled the incident.
To cut to the chase, you, as an American citizen will have to put up with the special privileges that Israel's special status grants it until such
time as a major change in direction of US foreign policy reduces the value of Israel as a strategic ally (some might say, dog-wagging tail) of the
US.
Israel has attack the US before (see vid below), in connivance with the US government, it is alleged, and may well have done so on 9/11, although I
don't think the Americans would have entrusted Israel with a black op of that importance. People aren't aware of it but they have a reputation of
effing up, as they did, from their (secret operational) point of view, with the Liberty. They failed to sink the ship. (Unfortunately the linked video
doesn't go into that aspect of the story in enough detail to make it clear why they failed to sink the ship, but the details are available
elsewhere.)
Edited for clarity and to tone it down just a little. I find this subject very irritating. And by the way I do believe there should be a state of
Israel. I just wish it were located somewhere in North America.
