Imagine, for a moment, a foreign government spying on U.S. citizens, using the most sophisticated cyber-intelligence software available. This government particularly targets students and, through the use of fake Facebook accounts and other means, smears those that criticize its policies. Consider a government that, in addition to these activities, provides U.S. members of Congress with elaborate, all-expenses-paid trips to beautiful resorts, in addition to very generously funding their election and re-election campaigns. It then writes legislation favorable to it, that these members of Congress introduce and vote on.
Currently, Washington, D.C. is all agog
over allegations that Russia attempted to influence the 2016
presidential election that brought the incompetent, unstable and erratic
Donald Trump to the White House. The investigation into possible
collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign makes
almost daily headlines. Politicians of all stripes invoke it in one way
or another to get favorable sound bytes on the evening news.
Yet no one is investigating, or even
talking about, the other country whose government is spying on U.S.
citizens, and which is, for all intents and purposes, buying member of
Congress and writing U.S. legislation. That country, of course, is
Israel.
For years, the U.S. has had a ‘special’
relationship with Israel. This includes providing Israel, a wealthy,
prosperous, First World nation, with more foreign aid than it gives to
all other nations combines. It means vetoing in the United Nations any
resolution criticizing Israel for its many war crimes and crimes against
humanity. It means basing U.S. foreign policy, especially in the Middle
East, not on what is best for the U.S., but what is best for the
Israel.
Although the nature of this ‘special’,
albeit dysfunctional relationship has long been known, a documentary
recently made by Al-Jazeera clearly exposes it.
In ‘The Lobby’, a pro-Palestinian Jewish
man goes undercover as a pro-Israeli lobbyist. He is able to gain the
trust and confidence of some of the key players in the pro-Israel lobby
network. Among the things exposed by this film are the following:.........https://www.globalresearch.ca/documentary-the-lobby-usa-americas-special-relationship-with-israel/5663445
