Joachim, I have contacted my congressional reps with such information; again, they ignore my specifics and send me generalized hasbara talking points. And when I follow up, they ignore me completely. Now what? Nevertheless, please do put some basic talking points on your blog. But consider what I say here for that is the reality for average citizens. Only once did I get a phone flunky response, and we went around and around, and then the differing POVs ended up with the USS Liberty incident–the rep flunky stuck like a broken record after I brought out all the information I had collected–she kept saying the ship was not flying a US flag at the time of the attack. She completely bought the cover up line of horrible accident. Incidentally, she was the daughter of an Albanian immigrant and completely bought all hasbara talking points.

No. I know that is always your intent, to confuse and obfuscate any objective analysis. You're a whole Talmud careening around back and forth inside your head, never questioning your basic assumptions. Endless reams of superficiality crapped out of both ends. We are not confused by you at all. Know thyself.

You are responsible for your. Israel is not the responsibility of the US. Like you said, if your chilren bought guns with the money you gave them, you'd stop. The US rewards Israel's bad behavioir.

Do you really live in such a fantasy world? Do you think that England thinks positively of its embassy staff in Iranian prisons?

Let it be confusing to you.

I will try to put some basic talking points up on my blog. Lately, I focus on three points: 1. The cost of Israel to the USA: $6 trillion and rising fast as well as subsidies running somewhere between $60-100 billion/year. 2. Differential enforcement of laws as well as the general damage being done to the social-political system. 3. After the Gaza Rampage, why isn't the IDF on the list of officially designated terrorist organizations, and why is a creature of the AJCom like Stuart Levey making US policy in this area?

Hey, when we contact our congress reps and merely demand that our own government's policy on settlements be enforced we are either ignored, or given Hasbara talking points. You know this, ThorsProvoni, so what do you suggest next?

You say that because you know their is bipartisan agreement that nobody should be critical of Israel in public. If one of those mentioned third party candidates won, justice would actually have some meaning in USA foreign policy in the Middle East.
