(1) Well, Chomsky is doing alright.. And I wouldn't say The Nation or the New Yorker have any qualms about criticizing Israel (and they shouldn't).
(2) I agree, the situation is represented in the US in very simplistic terms, by both sides.
(3) IMHO Israel, along with Pakistan and India, took the only respectable option by not signing that treaty. When my wife was doing her MA she'd often tell me how her professors mentioned various UN human rights treaties the US didn't sign and which many dictatorships did sign. It amazed me how her ivy league teachers didn't realize the signature of most nations is meaningless, as they have no intention of committing to it.
