Helping Israel equals treachery

'Bolton was interviewed for a BBC radio documentary on the war to be broadcast in full next month.
The former ambassador, who has a reputation as a blunt-spoken hawk, is writing a book about his days at the UN titled "Surrender is Not an Option."
British Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells said Bolton's remarks came as a surprise.
"I certainly didn't get the sense that there was some sort of formal collusion between the Americans and the Israelis," he told the BBC.'

Collusion? The dictionary says collusion means "a secret agreement, esp. for fraudulent or treacherous purposes; conspiracy". So helping to defend a country from attack by a non-state militia hiding in a neighboring country is a fraudulent, treacherous purpose? I seem to remember that when the Hutu militias had been kicked out of Rwanda and then started cross-border raids from DRC, the whole of Europe (except France) rallied around to help (financially and diplomatically) Paul Kigame's regime repulse them and eventually cross over into DRC to destroy them there. But I guess the difference is there were no Jews involved.
