In response to Defending the U.S. from the Israel Lobby

Israel bashing almost every week

I am fed up to the back teeth seeing relentless journalism about what Israel is doing to its neighbours.

I have a more realistic appraisal. Like in the Middle Ages in Catholic Europe, Iran controls its citizens with religion, fear and scapegoats, mostly Jews. Their influence and control is so strong that Muslims in Sydney are wont to proclaim similar hatred.

What we rarely hear is that Jews in all Middle Eastern and North African countries have been forced to flee for their own safety. Israel (and to a small extent USA) is the only country that will accept them. Where are they supposed to be housed? This is the reason for Israel’s expansion.

The various arms of the Lebanese and Palestinian military are merely puppets controlled by Iran which wants to ‘drive Jews into the sea.’

I regret that so many people have died however Netenyahu is simply saying: “enough is enough.”
