"Israel is its own sovereign nation. The U.S. has been the hall monitor of the world for too long. Transparency, but only enough to highlight the larger issue. The plight of Israel is separate and distinct from that of Americans. We have our own very serious problems if you haven't been living under a fuckin rock. The U.S. cannot act as the muscle for other nations (directed at European nations), except Israel? I do not have to make a choice in this duality that "they" have created (for or against Israel). I am American. Not an Israeli."
