shape=\"rect\">a \u2018military operation<\/a><span class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoHyperlink\">\u2019\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0in violation of international law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">The horror and disbelief may lessen somewhat when one considers that, despite its well-choreographed publicity, Israel\u2019s Zionist government has a long history of merciless brutal attacks on the Palestinian people from whom the Zionists stole their land in the 1930s.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0That history has never stopped the US,\u00a0\u00a0however, who share Israel\u2019s propensity for military violence, from entering into a sort of mutual obligatory relationship; both with unbridled warmongering governments, not unlike a formalized vassal state type affiliation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">In a historic vassal state, there is frequently one dominant party which may act as the \u2018protectorate\u2019 as it controls foreign policy and relations of the \u2018tributary\u2019 state.\u00a0\u00a0That tributary state may be allowed some internal autonomy to be technically independent yet is limited in its range of self rule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">Both the US and Israel speak the same language when it comes to a bellicose warlike society although the US is a tad more subtle in its unadulterated hawkish stance since the US Constitution is still technically an organic document.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There is also the issue\u00a0\u00a0of \u2018<i>payment of tribute\u2019<\/i>\u00a0as an established standard between the protectorate and subordinate with arranged flexibility due to shifting circumstances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">There is some thread that exists tying the US to Israel necessitating a regular infusion of\u00a0\u00a0\u201cfinancial aid\u201d ($280 Billion since 1948) as the Zionists provide free health care and secondary education while American health care is either substandard, nonexistent or mandatory Big Pharma and its college education is limited to those with the necessary funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">Both have a historic disregard for the sanctity of life whether it be Obama\u2019s Tuesday morning\u00a0<a

Israel indoctrinate its citizens with a hatred of potential opponents as a political mind control mechanism, spreading fear and\/or panic whenever the name is mentioned.\u00a0\u00a0The US has focused on coaching \u2018hate\u2019 on Iran, Russia and China as 911 conveniently instilled \u2018hate\u2019 of Moslem\/Islamics.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Meanwhile, Israel has more narrowly focused on the Palestinians since 1935 as the Zionists are well aware they are living on stolen land from an indigenous Palestinian population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">Therefore, when it is time for war with Iran, the American public will have been primed to agree to send their children or commit billions of taxpayer dollars without a moment\u2019s hesitation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The current Israeli \u2013 Gaza conflict has revealed not only the truth of the repulsive Zionists fiends as facilitators of torture and brutality, but united the inescapable face of\u00a0\u00a0Zionism\u00a0\u00a0with US as \u2018allies\u2019 in a malevolent satanic relationship with political Zionism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">One undeniable example of a vassal state relationship is that AIPAC owns almost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2023528\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">every member<\/a>\u00a0of the US\u00a0<a

dual citizenship with Israel and a vassal state membership on the Israeli government\u2019s Executive Cabinet while serving as US top diplomatic official, further erodes his credibility.\u00a0\u00a0That elite membership makes him an obedient toady although an ineffective voice for American foreign policy with every other country in the Middle East; just as neither Biden nor Blinken have the inner strength to direct Netanyahu to accept a cease fire or even a nonsensical \u2018<i>pause<\/i>\u2019 in hostilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ydpc8dd1b5dyiv3212449457ydp2dbc77d9yiv5911723581ydp4c557c76MsoNormal\">At the same time, Blinken\u00a0<a

Speaker Kevin McCarthy\u2019s visit to Israel.\u00a0\u00a0Speaking to the Knesset, he suggested\u00a0\u00a0establishing a\u00a0<a

House be American citizens with no mention that dual citizenship is acceptable.\u00a0<\/em>At no time did the country\u2019s founders anticipate the co-mingling or dual citizenship with any foreign government certain to dissipate American principles and askew intent of the Constitution and its Declaration of Independence.\u00a0 McCarthy\u2019s Friendship Group would transform the Congress from an American-made legislature into an alien force with a foreign membership of split allegiance and divided loyalties.
