Do you remember Nakba? Until recently no-one in Israel was allowed to talk about

this. But a few months ago a member of Bibi's cabinet was proposing a second one.

A "final solution" for the Palestinians or these "human animals"? Is God only defined

by Jews? Other peoples may choose different deities. Condemning them for that

shows not only ignorance. but outright arrogance.

I don't think "America's National Interest" has anything at all to do with American citizens as a group any more.

That's the problem, all right.

Here’s my view. US uses Israel as its military buffer to the vast oil fields beyond them to the north and east. That’s the reason for its military fortification and secret nuclear capacity (no one knows! ) So the US is lockstep with Israel on continuous arms assistance, ordnance,PR support, domestic repression of anti-genocidal , anti-war protest, and of course massive lobbying efforts like AIPAC and others, including financial contributions to the Congress and any pro-Israel propaganda groups here.

Really important and useful historical information for people in general to be aware of. Thanks for sharing this.

Lets face it, the world made a mistake back in 1948 when it recognised the state of Israel. It is time to reverse that and remove it from the UN. This is a necessary first step toward what could be regarded as a one-state solution and while that is a hard road to go down, it is the only one.

Yep! Our government is putting the state of Israel before American national security, democracy and the needs of American citizens. They are thus, by definition, traitors to their country. And Biden is chief among them.

It’s not in Israel’s long term existence interests either. It’s all short term interest based on lobbyists

Very good article and some really good points made. All the support the US gives Israel is absolutely asinine imho. I definitely want to learn more about the USS Liberty attack by Israel. TY for sharing.

It’s my understanding that the status of “ally” requires that there would be signed treaties in place. It’s also my understanding that there are no existing treaties between the US and Israel. I would venture to say that Israel isn’t anyone’s ally. They are totally self serving and only use others (particularly the US and Christian Zionists) to gain what they want. Israel is a parasitical state that Norman Finkelstein called lunatic. Netanyahu is on record as saying that Israel will chop America into pieces.
