[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems that US self interest is always secondary to Israel self interest.  I've never understood why we subvert ourselves to whatever Israel wants - even when it hurts us.

Why is this always the case and it there any hope of breaking the cycle in the future?[/quote]

The United State is not a democracy where one man equals one vote.

Our representatives are beholden to who donates to their campaign coffers the most.

Therefor the biggest donor decides what and how a politician votes.

The group with the largest concentration of wealth that donates actively to political causes also happen to be supporters of Israel so that is what the policy of the United States is.

The royal families in KSA, Kuwait, UAE, and Qatar are collectively worth more than 25,000x the annual spend of AIPAC. We’re talking multiple trillions. It’s embarrassing that we instead allow ourselves to be steered around by AIPAC and the likes of Miriam Adelson with her 30 billion nest egg.

If we’re going to tolerate our elected officials whoring themselves out to the highest bidder, can we at least get some really money in the game?[/quote]
