"our arch-liberal headmaster, Charles E. Merrill Jr., went to pains to distinguish between the Americans' bad war in Vietnam and the Israelis' good war."

Correct. At that time the liberal/lefty very fond of Israel. Dead Americans in Nam no big deal. Dead Israeli and they would cry. Israel and the socialist/kibbutz life style very dear to the liberal/lefty.
