America Can Easily Be Moved
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu famously was unaware that he was being filmed when he commented that
“America is a thing you can move very easily, moved in the right
direction.” His predecessor Ariel Sharon was even more to the point when
he reportedly said
“Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will
do that …don’t worry about American pressure; I tell you, we, the Jewish
people, control America and the American people know it!”
If
this were only chest thumping rhetoric one might just shrug and go about
one’s business, but actions speak louder than words, even in the world
of corrupt politicians, where nothing is ever as it seems to be. In the
past year alone, the U.S. government has moved its Embassy in Israel to
Jerusalem, has stopped criticizing the Netanyahu government’s expansion
of illegal settlements, and is reportedly currently contemplating
recognizing as legal Israel’s illegal occupation of the Syrian Golan
Heights. All the moves were and are contrary to actual American
interests.
