Rogue States

The US condemns Israeli settlements too!? wow.

 UK, France, Germany, Italy and US jointly condemn Israeli settlements

Five majority Israeli allies — the United States, Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom — issued a joint statement on Tuesday condemning Israeli settlement activity.

‘Pro-Israel industry’ enforces U.S. policy with campaign spending — $70 million in 2020

Why is Joe Biden doing nothing to criticize Israel’s brutally-expansionist policies in the West Bank? Why does Nikki Haley prepare a run for the presidency by announcing she won’t be out-Israel’d in the Republican party? Why does Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand come back from the Middle East gushing shamelessly over Benjamin Netanyahu?

It’s about money. All these politicians want to gain essential campaign funding from the Israel lobby for 2024, and in Biden’s case do nothing to send those funding sources scooting to the Haley side of the aisle. While Gillibrand is the Democratic establishment candidate in a possible primary challenge next year from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Pro-Israel money remains the most powerful force affecting U.S. policy in the Middle East. Witness the fact that Kevin McCarthy’s top advisor and fundraiser Jeff Miller– the “most powerful unelected” person in Washington, per Politico— is associated with both AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition. The RJC’s last meeting in Las Vegas in November was an all-out Israel panderama by Republican hopefuls, including McCarthy. “Look at how this president has treated Israel,” Nikki Haley challenged Biden. “The Jewish state doesn’t even know if we have her back any more.”
