  The United States of Freier-dom Sorry Americans, our "greatest ally" just isn't all that into us DANIEL D The United States of Freier-dom, where simping for Israel is a way of life … Why are we Americans such schlemiels, suckers, and simps for Israel? As the (apparently)  Mossad honeypot operation known as Jefrey Epstein  showed, our oligarchs and politicians are getting some play out of the deal, at least. But what’s in it for the rest of us? Before we consider this question further, a couple of quick caveats are in order. First, anti-Zionism does  not  equal antisemitism:  not all Jews are Zionists , and not all Zionists are Jews. In America,  MOST  Zionists are  NOT  Jews, but are instead the kind of evangelical  Christians whom Israelis like to spit on .

The Democratic incumbent, Joe Biden, supplies the butcher Netanyahu with all the weapons he needs to massacre tens of thousands of Palestinia...

  The Myth of Israel as ‘US Aircraft Carrier’ in Middle East If Israeli apartheid were to disappear, oil and trade would still flow from the Middle East towards the West, write Jean Bricmont and Diana Johnstone. By  Jean Bricmont  and  Diana Johnstone Special to Consortium News W hy does the United States give total support to Israel?  In answer, there is a common myth shared by both champions and radical critics of the Zionist state which needs to be dispelled.  The myth is that Israel is a major U.S. strategic asset, described as a sort of unsinkable American aircraft carrier vital to Washington’s interests in the Middle East.  The line of argument of those who share this myth is to show that the United States has economic and strategic interests in the oil-rich Middle East (which nobody denies) and to quote American (and, of course, Israeli) political figures who claim that Israel is the best or even the sole U.S. ally in the region. For example U.S...
