“I sure hope that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. That ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby“ – Tom Friedman, New York Times, today.

“[T]he U.S. government fed up with Israel’s leadership [is] a hostage to its ineptitude, because the powerful pro-Israel lobby in an election season can force the administration to defend Israel at the U.N., even when it knows Israel is pursuing policies not in its own interest or America’s” – Tom Friedman, New York Times, September 18, 2011.

Thanks for the quotes, although I find it hard to believe that most Americans cannot know the obvious.
