Robert said:I think he has a very good point here too - if the US government weren't seen by much of the world population in the current light, Israel actually *would* benefit.
No it wouldn't.
One of the things the US would have to do to get its credibility back would be to stop covering for all of Israel's illegal activities and start getting it to abide by at least a few UN resolutions. That would put a real damper on Israel's plans to ethnically cleanse the region of non-Jews and expand its borders. Such things would make Israel "more acceptable" to many but it would confine Israel's "freedom of action".
Mind-you it's already getting a bit restricted. Just imagine being a nuclear power and not being able to go and bomb your neighbours whenever you wish. Must be frustrating.
