MARK STEYN: The James Taylor Doctrine.

Related: James Baker Advising Jeb Bush, Keynoting J Street Conference. ” Baker is of course infamous for reportedly saying in private conversation, while George HW Bush’s secretary of state, ‘F**k the Jews, they didn’t vote for us anyway.’ But his antipathy towards Israel is well documented. He wanted the US to punish Israel for destroying Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor. He hated Netanyahu as early as 1990, barring him from entering the State Department’s building. And last but not least, he co-wrote the Iraq Study Group’s 2006 paper that recommended (among other things) that the US tilt its foreign policy away from Israel and towards Syria and Iran, advice that President Obama seems to have taken to heart.”

Poor Israel. All the worst people in our horrible political class hate her.
