US foreign policy is based on racism

Just look at this sentence in this Wikileaks  report on Hizbullah's military capabilities:  "damage and psychological terror Hizballah rockets caused in northern Israel during the 2006 war."  Notice that the word "terrorized" in a war that killed far more Lebanese civilians than Israeli civilians is reserved to the people on one side of the border only.  The entire course of US foreign policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict and toward the Middle East in general is based on the premise that there is one people (the Israelis) which is superior and valuable, and another (the Arabs) which is inferior and cheap and expendable and whose deaths is of no political value whatsoever.  That is the crux of the policy, in fact.
