It’s fascinating to watch the continuing criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s The latest comes from former PM Olmert who joins one of his predecessors, Besides the fact that I agree with them that his policies are both wrong-headed and That means that the Bill is either irrational and in violation of the free speech provisions Considering that they may arguably be more patriotic and for a saner version of Israel than Maybe it would be better for all of us if these politicians extended their “awareness” to the role of powerful lobbyists like AIPAC’s influence on elections. We just saw this again in New York where an estimated $15 MILLION dollars was spent to defeat Jamaal Bowman mostly because he defied the accepted posturing towards Bibi and Israel. It’s beyond tragic for all involved to watch this spectacle play out at such a steep cost in lives, treasure and good will for both Israel and the US.<\/p>\n Can it be true that Phil Giraldi and the many other commentators who populate Judge Nap’s Judging Freedom show are misguided observers despite their impressive credentials?\u00a0 I doubt it!\u00a0 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ViTjfgIG4M8<\/a><\/p>\n They uniformly condemn the excesses of the “thugs” Olmert refers to in his Op-Ed who set This is more than just Monday-morning quarterbacking by those removed from the complexity of the Israeli\/Palestinian conflict. It reflects the somber analysis from the outside that the more emotional insiders listed above who are pushing for an end to Bibi’s reign have described.<\/p>\n With the so-called presidential debate a mere few hours away, it will be interesting to see how these two men deal with the issue of Bibi’s future and the war in Gaza, especially in light of their previous “iron-clad” backing of our “biggest ally in the Middle East!”<\/p>\n For those of us who are tired of foreign entanglements that embody more of a desire for Pax Americana than for truly humanitarian interventions, the prospect that either of these candidates will display an enlightened vision for our future is grim.<\/p>\n I yearn for the day when someone can elevate the conversation and embrace what I want to see as our proper attitude towards the world instead of the imperial overreach America chose to pursue following the end of WW2. https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=32281<\/a><\/p>\n Perhaps then, a bad day for Bibi will be a VERY good day for America!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-235284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=235284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235284\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=235284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=235284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=235284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nself-serving, the part that strikes me as most interesting is that any similar comments
\nhere in the US will likely be considered illegal for violating the new Anti-Semitism
\nAwareness Act.<\/p>\n
\nof the First Amendment or that these top Israelis are “anti-Semitic, self-hating Jews!”<\/p>\n
\nBibi’s far right junta, the answer should be obvious to even those like Speaker Johnson and
\nMajority Leader Schumer who felt compelled to invite Netanyahu to address Congress.<\/p>\n
