The Israeli Fear of Neo-Conservatism

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Oct 22 2008, 2:38 PM ET Comment

From Shmuel Rosner, in our Jewcy dialogue on McCain, Obama and Israel:

In some ways, what they fear in Obama is the repetition of Bush the democracy-promoter. It's true that most Israelis think Bush was a friendly president, but readers should realise that very few of them really bought into the lets-democratize-the-region notion. Too realistic to believe, or too racist (Ariel Sharon famously said "after all, it is Arabs we are talking about here"), or too experienced -- Israelis liked the part of Bush that was supportive of security concerns, and vehement in fighting terror, but didn't as much appreciate his desire to transform the Mideast. Not that they don't want it -- they just don't think it's possible. Not now, not this way.
