It sounds crazy, but it is true. American foreign policy is 85% controlled by Israeli government. How? Because American elections are way too expensive. Who's got the money to help candidates? You guessed it. The funny part is that Israelis don't take risk, they fund ALL candidates more or less to make sure whoever get elected owes them to some degree. It's very smart actually.
Question is, do Israelis care at all if America's economy is in trouble? or if American soldiers are being killed by the thousands?

They don't give a damn and from the look of America the populace is drowning in apathy. Given the physical facts that 9/11 was an inside job. Inflation is double digit. Gas is nearly twice as much as when Bush took over. Why isn't there a revolution and take back the ideals which America once stood for. Hillary is owned by them and McCain more so. If the radicals take over in Pakistan...then will see Israel targeted for some nukes. Maybe then the rest of the Arab countries won't be so complacent and kick the Americans out of their own countries. America has had the opportunity to negotiate with Iran but they won't and we continue to get disinformation from the biased news which is owned by the Jewish zog!!!

take no side- I really think that you need some serious psychological help and then some education. There are 7 million Jews in Israel. Jews make up less than 1/2 of one percent of the world's population. Israel's GDP, while extremely high for middle east standards, is hardly enough to control the entire election process and the American economy as you not only intimate, but also come right out and state. Israel and Jews in general are hardly gushing with money. That's more for the Oil rich Arab countries which I can guarantee contribute considerably more money to our candidates. It's the same propoganda Hitler used and is being used throughout the arab world, today. Fortunately, the intelligent people here see if for exactly what it is- bulls***. The fact that you would would even post such a ridiculous, stupid statement tells me that you are seriously lacking in even basic intelligence, or never learned that there is a federally enforced cap on campaign contributions.

Although the author of this article appears to be a thinly veiled anti-Semite, if this information is, in fact, true, we should start building some more prisons to hold all the people responsible. Assuming, of course, that anyone can be found to indict, convict, and imprison them. And that some foolish person in the White House doesn't issue a blanket pardon.

"Although the author of this article appears to be a thinly veiled anti-Semite"
How come the moment anyone criticizes Israel in *any* way they're instantly labeled as an anti-Semite (in the same way someone who criticizes America's role in Iraq is labeled an anti-American or anti-patriot)? One should be able to criticize Israel (or ANY country) with facts without being labeled in some dismissive way.

"How about criticizing people that would fire Iranian rockets and missiles willy nilly into civilian neighborhoods from territory (Gaza) handed to them in the hopes of achieving peace?"
There is no difference between the IDF & Hamas. The IDF just has more sophisticated weapons (paid for courtesy of our government). The IDF humiliates civilians at checkpoints, harrasses little children & pregnant women. Getting through the checkpoints is a hassle, even for American citizens. The IDF will treat you like cattle.

I don't care if someone criticizes Israel. They have PLENTY to be criticized for. Plenty. And, I am NOT a pro-Israelite. Quite the contrary. However, you must realize that there is a difference between carping about ISRAEL and carping about JEWS in general. I think the author MAY have crossed the line between simply being critical of a national policy towards another country and being critical of a particular religious group. In the cases of Jews and Israel, it's kind of hard to tell them apart, but my take on the author's language is that he doesn't like JEWS, not just ISRAEL. Perhaps I am mistaken and have misread the flavor of the article.

I'm certain it is true. The coterie of retired Colonels and Generals that served as news experts in the buildup to the Iraq invasion, and who have now been revealed to be paid propagandists for the Pentagon ( http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/media/jan-june08... ), are back on the TV proclaiming how we can strike any number of targets in Iran and not suffer any consequences for doing so.
If Hillary somehow gets the Democratic nomination, I suspect the Bush administration will just wait and let her take the heat. She is owned by the Israel hawks, and will "obliterate" Iran. But if Obama emerges with the nomination, I don't think they will risk betting that McCain can beat him. They will do it before the November election.
Syria and Hezbollah interests may also be on the list. Just speculating, but remember, you read it here.

Here's the advice that "foreign policy expert" John McCain is getting. You know, "Bomb bomb bomb, Bomb bomb Iran..." McCain. Woolsey's telling him to bomb Syria too. http://politics.propeller.com/story/2008/05/12/...

Obama's beliefs aren't too much different than Hillary's when it comes to Israel and Iran.

What is scary is the willingness of politicians to sell out everything for money. If this had been the founding fathers we'd still be doing tea in the afternoon.

Good thinking, then when they figure out how to refine all the oil, we will be able to save energy by turning all the lights out at night because all the cars will glow in the dark

Actually most of the arabs sound a good deal more sensible and humane than the zionists.
Hamas condemns the Holocaust
Do No Evil â;; As Palestinians commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Nakba (dispossession and expulsion of most of our people), those still in Palestine face escalating aggression, killings, imprisonment, ethnic cleansing and siege. We are not engaged in religious conflict with Jews; this is political struggle to free us from occupation and oppression.

If americans want to end the ZionCon foreign policy, then they will have to start protecting politicians and others (including many jews) who tell the truth about israel and zionism.
Why the presidential candidates won't talk about Israel
Politics â;; Israel has been a very expensive ally for the US. Direct costs are at least $247 billion and indirect costs, up to $3 TRILLION. Giving any country unconditional backing encourages irresponsible behavior - in the case of Israel it has led to an apartheid state. Politicians hold their tongues for fear of being labeled as anti-Semitic.

The loathsome smearing of Israel's critics
Religion â;; In the US and Britain, there is a campaign to smear anybody who tries to describe the plight of the Palestinian people. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence â⻬" and to a large degree, it works. There is nobody these self-appointed spokesmen for Israel will not attack as anti-Jewish: liberal Jews, rabbis, even Holocaust survivors.

We will also have to start supporting real jews instead of racist zionists from eastern europe who espouse the same "superman" and "subhuman" ideology as the Nazis.
Iran's Jews won't mark Israeli independence day
Do No Evil â;; The Iranian Jewish community will not mark Israel's 60th Independence Day, incoming Iranian Jewish parliamentarian Siamak Morsadegh said Wednesday. The Iranian Jewish leader told Reuters that Israel's policies toward Palestinians, particularly Gazans, demonstrated "anti-human behavior ... they kill innocent people."

Complete ad hominem. Of COURSE terrorism is abhorrent. But posting a link to a video about terrorism in no way equates what you are arguing against as terrorist. Perhaps you can understand ad hominem arguments better if I post one against you.
To understand Mutainia, see the types he supports here:

So, ETproductions, you are saying I'm an Osama Bin Laden supporter because I happen to side with Israel rather than those who carve off heads and fire rockets into civilian neighborhoods from territory Israel handed to Palestinians in the hopes of achieving peace? Well, your logic escapes me. OH, and how was I using ad hominem? Isn't ad hominem attacking your opponents character in a debate, rather than focussing on your opponent's issues? Let us know where I was using ad hominem on hyperebola, atleast. OH, I get it! You are associating me with Bin Laden because I call hyperbola hyper-E-bola!?! Ahh, ok. If THAT's ad hominem in your book. I guess you don't think Bin Laden is that problematic if you compare him with someone who plays with his opponent's name, do you, ET?
