The Twilight Zone on Capitol Hill

The U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation has boiled down last week’s House "debate" on authorizing another $205 million in military aid to Israel into a three-minute video entitled The Twilight Zone on Capitol Hill. They call it a "spoof." I don’t find it the least bit amusing, but if you want a quick taste of the rhetoric our legislators use to justify giving their constituents’ dollars to Israel, this is a place to start.

The US Campaign has also discovered YouCut, a new web page set up by Rep. Eric Cantor, an ardent Zionist and the Republican Whip in the House, to solicit ideas about how to cut the Federal budget. I just offered him a few choice suggestions. Other Mondoweiss readers may wish to do likewise.
