sent by a friend i post this article on the israeli influence on 'our' government;

Everyone talks about the eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room. But almost no one talks about the eight-hundred-pound gorilla that is in EVERY room. In fact, most people want to pretend as if the eight-hundred-pound gorilla in every room does not even exist, even as they go out of their way to please, pamper, placate, protect and promote that same beast. 

This eight-hundred-pound beast is in every newsroom in New York; he is in every office and cloakroom in the U.S. Capitol; he sits in the Oval Office in the White House; he is in every war room in the Pentagon; he is in every classroom in America’s public schools, colleges and universities; he is in every production studio in Hollywood; he is in every spy room in the CIA; he is in every boardroom on Wall Street; he is in every conference room in Big Business; and he is in almost every pulpit in the evangelical churches of America—and that eight-hundred-pound gorilla is Israel. 

This column could turn into a very large book with very fine print if I were to list all of the evidence for everything I said above. For the sake of space, I will simply refer you to a few of the most recent examples.

Americans remain largely ignorant about the extent to which foreign influence pervades the United States government, and I am not referring to the fraudulent claims made by Hillary Clinton that Russian has interfered materially in US elections. The real threat comes from elsewhere. Few outside the government itself are likely to be aware of the extent to which the state of Israel and its domestic affiliate-lobby operating out of Washington and New York have corrupted the United States political system, to the point where nurturing and enabling the Jewish state in its ambitions to dominate much of the Middle East has become effectively US policy. As the exchanges surrounding the recent fighting in Gaza, rightly referred to as a war crime and ethnic cleansing, perhaps even the first steps in a planned genocide, demonstrate that even when the US has genuine interests at stake Israel believes itself empowered to say “no” to the president of the United States. The assault on Gaza and the ongoing killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians started again on Friday after a week long pause for hostage/prisoner exchanges. It will continue and Washington is complicit in the deaths as it has politically shielded Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government no matter what it does while also arming and funding the Israeli actions.........more............
