American Voices: What lies ahead for the rocky US/Israel relationship?

The relationship between the United States and longtime ally Israel is at a historic low point following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious speech to Congress and the revelation that Israel has spied on the US in an effort to undermine nuclear negotiations with Iran. What do you think?

Wow, you almost had me there.

On a related note the parody account on Twitter for Stuart Zionist Turtle was suspended because too many people took him seriously.

I think Israel has never been an ally — or certainly has not been for several decades.

Unless I am mistaken, Israel has no written obligations to the USA and our obligations to them are not signed agreements between the two nations but rather Congress adopted legislation written by AIPAC.

rotflmao, and I really mean it!

Well done!

The Onion has a lot of good stuff. Where was I all that time? F’r instance, Israel calls for increase in US taxes to fund attack on Gaza.

Zionist Israel has skillfully used the United States to carry forward its unlawful determination to either drive out or kill all Palestinians from their native land in order to become the only “religious” ethnic theocracy in the World–not a democracy. Zionist Israel, in reality, is a rogue “state” in hourly, daily violation of international laws and Geneva Conventions for the past six decades–and counting! It is an Apartheid “state” relying on the abject ignorance of most Americans to continue receiving more financial aid–$$$BILLIONS yearly–from the U.S. than any other nation in the world. Zionist Israel holds the record in recent history for militarily occupying another people’s land the longest–more than 47 years to date and counting. Zionist Israel has had nuclear weapons since the 1980s, but will not admit it and refuses to sign on to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as have all of the other nations with such weapons of mass destruction. The perpetual philosophy of a present-day typical Zionist: “What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours in mine for the taking!” Will Zionist Israel ever become a democracy in the true sense; will it ever come to realize that its “neighbors”, the Palestinians, are equal humans who must be set free, given justice and peace, and accorded dignity? Not of Zionist Israel’s own making!
