Concerning Begin, he even had an arrest warrant for him in some countries up until he died. I hope Bibi stands up to our thugs today !

The answer to that question is yes. As long as Israel accept welfare payments from the American taxpayer, it is now right to whine about being a “vassal state.” When it proudly rejects such welfare, however, it can claim that right.

• Israel Helps Save Lives of US Soldiers, Says Dore Gold -- Contradicting media-fed rumors that Israel's policies endanger the lives of American soldiers, Dore Gold, former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, said that Israel is a strategic ally and has helped saved the lives of American citizens and soldiers... wrote that the Obama administration "has a special responsibility to contain its tensions with Israel" in order that the diplomatic disagreement not ruin the strategic relationship. Critics of Israel have noted that the American government gives Israeli billions of dollars in military aid, but they invariably neglect to mention that the American military-industrial complex needs Israel almost equally. The assistance to Israel is conditioned on Israel's buying approximately three-quarters of the materials and technology in the United States.
