I can only do this site with help from genius friends. It's social media. One of them sent me some links and comment this morning:
Here is some more good stuff on Schumer's closet-neocon agenda from Glenn Greenwald (overlapping with our points of last night and adding some). Greenwald:
The real goal, as always, was to ensure that there is no debate over
America's indescribably self-destructive, blind support for Israeli
actions. Freeman critics may have scored a short-term victory in that
regard, but the more obvious it becomes what is really driving these
scandals, the more difficult it will be to maintain this suffocating
control over American debates and American policy.

Also, this by the Israeli psychologist Carlo Strenger, from the Guardian on Israel's rightward turn [Weiss: the kind of stuff you don't see in the US]:
Binyamin Netanyahu
will soon present a narrow, right-wing government to the Israeli
Knesset. It is worth pondering a commonality between him and this
government's second main force, Avigdor Lieberman.
Both have a clearly defined world view. At its core is the belief that
the Middle Eastern conflict is in essence the expression of a clash of
civilisation between the Judeo-Christian west and Islam. Netanyahu has
written books about this, and Lieberman has said it time and again.
Neither of them sees the solution of the conflict between Israel and
the Palestinians as something that is of any value if detached from the
geopolitical configuration as they see it…

The person who sent me the Strenger noted that he fails to point out that ANY Israeli government today would be bad–given the warlike disposition and close-mindedness of 90% of the people and the foreknowledge that whatever they do will be supported by the U.S. And she quotes a friend: "Israel today is like the Old South–it didn't matter who ran for governor."
