Antiterrorist or Anti-Semitic?

Richard Pearl, one of the authors of this book (An End To Evil), is often referred too as the "prince of darkness." Having read his book I now understand why. He is among the neo cons who heavily influenced our country to liberate Iraq, and who also wants a "get tough" approach toward all our enemies; especially our Muslim enemies. The get tough stuff is basic boiler plate with few surprises. But, even though we all probably want to defend ourselves from terrorists, who really wants to listen to this guy now that so many of his key assumptions, as regards the war in Iraq at least, are now looking a little silly: no WMDs, no terrorist links, no hero's welcome, Chalibi-a key exile and ally turns out to be a spy, unexpected Shiite uprisings, Sunni and Shiite unification, horrible post war planning, firing Iraqi military, gigantic misjudgments about US troop rerquirements, no body or humve armor, etc etc?
But,what I really wanted to understand from this book was the man's, or our government's, basic thinking about the origins of the war. What makes them so hostile? I wanted to see if they understood why the world had united against us or at least what was their understanding of why the entire Muslim world and most of the rest of the world had united against us. Finally, at page 189 the subject came up. The author says: "the real question asked all over the world is ultimately, "is the war on terror a Zionist plot ?" This is obviously a very important and legitimate question if only because the whole world, according to the authors, is asking it.
The author's answer was dumb, naive, and very brief. He said, anti-Semitism is rampant in the world today, cutting off Richard Pearl's head is an example, and if you don't support the war on terrorism you are, in effect, anti-Semitic. Then he mentioned that some of the antiwar sentiment was also part political cowardliness, disdain for Bush, and a general distaste for a proud, confident and militaristic Israel. Unbelievably, no attempt was made to explain why the terrorists hate us more than, say, Eskimos or Liberians. The truth is that for 100 years Zionists did plot to take over the mid east and remove the Palestinians. Now the Zionist are doing exactly that and most of the world doesn't think it is fair, and so they have some sympathy for the terrorists who attack the US. After all, we supply many of the arms to Israel that make Zionism possible. The neo con solution is to kill all the terrorists much the way Israel has done in their region. The civilized solution is to recognize that the terrorists are over here because we are over there.
Out of sympathy from the holocaust, the world granted the Zionists Israel in 1948. Now the US should unite the world's military and public opinion behind maintaining and defending the internationally recognized and established boundaries of 1948, and generously pay the displaced Palestinians. This is fair and practical while the neo cons only want endless killing; mostly, it would seem, to cover what Israel is doing and simply because they do not think very well. In this case a small minority has manipulated us with lies, stupid reasoning, and by taking advantage of our endless sympathy for the Jews.
