Yet another reason why the Democratic Party put its resources behind Marcy Kaptur and against Dennis Kucinich in the primary this year.

Anti-Semite. At least that is what you get called if you bring up things like this. That is how any discussion of Israel's hold over american politics is shutdown.

That doesn't surprise me. Those 2 words shut down anybody from replying but I have heard it before and it doesn't bother me. If people truly can't come up with a reply that is constructive that's what they will use.

It's the jeeeeeeeeewwwwwsssss!!

Sounds like conspiracy bull**** to me.

Heh. "Here's the sort of lede you're not likely to read in the New York Times or Washington Post"

That's some mighty fine spelling there. Looks like a "waist" of time reading "there" crap.

Awesome US journalist that tells the truth about Israel

Max Blumenthal. Fully fluent in Hebrew. Read his twitter feed.

https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal

Israel is actively lobbying our corrupt Congress to drag us into another needless, immoral attack on yet another Muslim country.

Indeed.Another one of those great acts our greatest ally committed. Personally I think Johnson should have been charged with treason for trying to get the Liberty sunk to hide it all.

Throughout my life it's always felt like it was something I wasn't really allowed to comment on.
