      Plus all of the Republicans.

      (Yes, I know the fascist fucks are a lost cause and that’s why they don’t get mentioned, but we should still maintain the expectation anyway.)

      Thinking that Israel controls America is like thinking the knife controls the serial killer because he spends money on sharpening it.

        That’s incorrect. This has been going in for ages. The lobby and Moussad are powerful. Vote out every one who said no or present and charge them with treason.

          Yes, because America has America has had strategic interests (read: reasons to do imperialism) in the Middle East for ages.

          The lobby and Moussad are powerful.

          Yes, because they’re allowed to be powerful. There’s a reason no other country gets to manipulate American domestic politics this openly, not even longtime American allies in NATO. If money and a good intelligence agency were all you needed to control the strongest military power in the world everybody would be doing it. The fact of the matter American elites need a reliable thug in the region to do their dirty work for them and Israel does that job well enough that American elites feel the need to protect it from popular backlash. Compare how mainstream media talked/talks about Trump getting bribes from the Gulf States to how Israel’s antics get reported on and you’ll see what I mean; if Israel wasn’t valuable to the people running the show they’d have tossed it overboard a long time ago.
