Zionist entity controlling our foreign policy. No more than any other lobby does. We just happen to agree with them that terrorists are bad.

Other than looking up a specific question, I never read the employee handbook for any company I worked for. Just show up, be honest, know your job, and don't be a jerk. The rest is foam on the beer.
Didn't do hired interview preps, yet still knew to not say ******* or smoke during the interview.

APC is merely entertainment and a chance to bring order to one's thoughts, not rocket science.
Everyday life just ain't that hard.

I passed by a KFC while in Israel. I thought it funny then but now…

No KFC’s cranking out value buckets in Cuba these days. Population same as Israel. Hypocrisy is the universal language of greed. They’re starving down there, as garbage piles high in feral cat infested streets. 100 miles south of Worth Ave.

There were some extreme rogue attitudes back then, likely leftover from the 'All In" mentality needed for WW-II, and enabled by a relative lack of transparency.

Media, and the likes of Frank Church, put most of that to bed in the decades since. Watergate, Iran-Contra and the Biden coverup all blew up in the faces of the perps.

It's even harder in the era of internet, leaks, and now Alt Media


I can't really nail down a single logical motive. So I tend to think you're right, that multiple factors all played into this. Off the top of my head, in no particular order....

Distraction (ICE? JE?)

Subversive political pressure via Mossad?

Payback for decades of murdering American soldiers who were not involved with Iran?

Golden Opportunity, the A-Hole-Atollahs all in the same room together?

Israeli Ultimatum (they can always use their own nukes, and it's a good argument that a conventional war is better than letting IL get backed into what they consider a corner).

Sincere desire to improve ME stability and global economy? It will objectively be better once the dust settles, going to take IR a long time to rebuild. Maybe he views this as his legacy?

Payback for insultingly refusing to negotiate? Assassination plots?

Trump is objectively a narcissist (along with many other pols). But IMO he does not, after careful and lengthy observation, appear to actually be crazy... he just plays a crazy guy on TV.

But again, it doesn't really matter how we got here...

I think there is a word for this. What is it again?

So says Bill Maher lol.

Yes there is a difference.

From experience, I respect the hell out of IL military and intel. I consider them our most valuable ally in the region.

I understand how their world-view came about.

I also don't trust their government agencies or personnel any further than I could throw Gaza with one arm.

Balanced reporting, I didn't leave anybody out.

This is not correct.

The relationship the US has with the Israeli Lobby, the control and power they enjoy, is unique not only in the USA but the world.

The US-Israeli Lobby is nothing like any other lobbying group in existence.

I'm not here to debate whether this benefits the USA and our interests, but to claim the Israeli lobby is "just like any other lobby" is a belief based in denial and lack of awareness.

All evidence points that the Lobby has an immense amount of power and control on not only our foreign policy but in many aspects domestic policy as well.

It is true that not all Jewish people are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jewish, however there is no other example of a foreign lobby in the US that has so much control and power, nor is there another example in the entire world of a foreign lobby having so much control of another country. In that respect, the US-Israeli relationship is totally unique.

It is also true that Zionism was established as an ideological goal well before the Holocaust in Europe.
