Bibliography – My Writings on Democrats, Republicans, and Israel

To commemorate the new era of Democratic dominance in Washington, I collect my writings over the past decade analyzing the trend of increasingly cool Democratic attitudes toward Israel, with updates as needed:

• "The friendly Republicans." The Jerusalem Post, February 15, 2000.

• "Who Supports Israel [- Conservatives or Liberals]?" New York Post, September 3, 2003

• "Republicans and Democrats Look at the Arab-Israeli Conflict." DanielPipes.org, March 27, 2006.

• "Democrats, Republicans, and Israel." The New York Sun, May 23, 2006.

• "The Democrats and Israel." FrontPageMagazine.com, January 20, 2009.

• "Romney vs. Obama vis-à-vis Israel." National Review Online, September 4, 2012. Contrasts the two main presidential candidates' views toward Israel and spells out their implications.

And to remind, things were not always thus: Indeed, I wrote a research paper in 1984, a "Breaking All the Rules: The Middle East in U.S. Policy," that established the American bipartisanship toward the Arab-Israeli conflict and other issues; for a brief version of this argument, see the summary in the Wall Street Journal, "Mideast Isn't Seen in Left-Right Terms." (January 20, 2009)

For a powerful reminder of how Zionist was the Left in the period 1945-50, see Ronald Radosh, "When the Radical American Left Loved Israel," in the Sept. 2012 issue of Commentary magazine. (September 1, 2012)
