He is not anti Israel but first and foremost his prism filters everything through what he feels is best for the US not Israel. That's his fulcrum. So you have to take his pronouncements with a grain of salt. For realistically unbiased analysis I prefer STRATFOR which doesn't really have a stake in anyone's agreement with their conclusions as much as CSIS does in terms of how they are funded.
