Appeasement is one of those terms which has degenerated into a form of slander in modern terminology, thanks to Mr. Chamberlain. In many cases, the term "appeasement" is used as an opposite to "confronting". I agree that the relationship with Israel is more complex than appeasement. This is not to say that the US-Israeli relationship doesn't have its infuriating elements. However, no good analysis can misapply important terms.
