It sounds crazy, but it is true. American foreign policy is 85% controlled by Israeli government. How? Because American elections are way too expensive. Who's got the money to help candidates? You guessed it. The funny part is that Israelis don't take risk, they fund ALL candidates more or less to make sure whoever get elected owes them to some degree. It's very smart actually.
Question is, do Israelis care at all if America's economy is in trouble? or if American soldiers are being killed by the thousands?

Although the author of this article appears to be a thinly veiled anti-Semite, if this information is, in fact, true, we should start building some more prisons to hold all the people responsible. Assuming, of course, that anyone can be found to indict, convict, and imprison them. And that some foolish person in the White House doesn't issue a blanket pardon.

"Although the author of this article appears to be a thinly veiled anti-Semite"
How come the moment anyone criticizes Israel in *any* way they're instantly labeled as an anti-Semite (in the same way someone who criticizes America's role in Iraq is labeled an anti-American or anti-patriot)? One should be able to criticize Israel (or ANY country) with facts without being labeled in some dismissive way.

I'm certain it is true. The coterie of retired Colonels and Generals that served as news experts in the buildup to the Iraq invasion, and who have now been revealed to be paid propagandists for the Pentagon ( http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/media/jan-june08... ), are back on the TV proclaiming how we can strike any number of targets in Iran and not suffer any consequences for doing so.
If Hillary somehow gets the Democratic nomination, I suspect the Bush administration will just wait and let her take the heat. She is owned by the Israel hawks, and will "obliterate" Iran. But if Obama emerges with the nomination, I don't think they will risk betting that McCain can beat him. They will do it before the November election.
Syria and Hezbollah interests may also be on the list. Just speculating, but remember, you read it here.

No they don't care!

Actually most of the arabs sound a good deal more sensible and humane than the zionists.
Hamas condemns the Holocaust
Do No Evil â;; As Palestinians commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Nakba (dispossession and expulsion of most of our people), those still in Palestine face escalating aggression, killings, imprisonment, ethnic cleansing and siege. We are not engaged in religious conflict with Jews; this is political struggle to free us from occupation and oppression.

If americans want to end the ZionCon foreign policy, then they will have to start protecting politicians and others (including many jews) who tell the truth about israel and zionism.
Why the presidential candidates won't talk about Israel
Politics â;; Israel has been a very expensive ally for the US. Direct costs are at least $247 billion and indirect costs, up to $3 TRILLION. Giving any country unconditional backing encourages irresponsible behavior - in the case of Israel it has led to an apartheid state. Politicians hold their tongues for fear of being labeled as anti-Semitic.

The loathsome smearing of Israel's critics
Religion â;; In the US and Britain, there is a campaign to smear anybody who tries to describe the plight of the Palestinian people. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence â⻬" and to a large degree, it works. There is nobody these self-appointed spokesmen for Israel will not attack as anti-Jewish: liberal Jews, rabbis, even Holocaust survivors.

Complete ad hominem. Of COURSE terrorism is abhorrent. But posting a link to a video about terrorism in no way equates what you are arguing against as terrorist. Perhaps you can understand ad hominem arguments better if I post one against you.
To understand Mutainia, see the types he supports here:
