Western pundits like to make fun of the supposedly “no limits” partnership between China and Russia. But if they really want to know what no limits means in a state-to-state relationship and how tremendous self-harm can result, they need to look no further than that between the United States and Israel.
What Israel wants, Israel gets; and does not even have to ask first when it comes to emergency financial aid and weapons. As Israel bombs its way across the Gaza Strip and Jewish settlers commit murder to seize Palestinian land in the West Bank, the weapons they are using are mostly supplied by Washington.
Unfortunately, the current Israeli government knows no moderation. Unlike the more restrained Labor Party government of old, the current Israeli state is run by extremists. The goal of this coalition was in fact spelled out, at least for the Israeli public.
When this most extreme of far-right coalitions was formed late last year, it called for not only continued occupation but also annexation of the West Bank. Its coalition deal states: “The Jewish people have an exclusive and unquestionable right to all areas of the Land of Israel. The government will promote and develop settlement in all parts of the Land of Israel – in the Galilee, the Negev, the Galan, Judea and Samaria.”
Judea and Samaria are the biblical names for the occupied West Bank. That is, in fact, what Jewish settlers, many of them driven by extremist ideology, have been doing in what they prefer to call “Judea and Samaria”.

Wrong. Are “no limits friendship” certainly extends to the UK, Canada, and Australia.
That dude looks like a pedophile and in dire need of an hot bath and a shave.
The real answer is that US admin are cowards. They want two things above all else: a) to continue their disastrous Iran policy; b) avoid a greater war involving Iran.
Israel holds the trump card here, as they can publicly blame the US' Iran policy for the catastrophe and they can attack Iran and initiate a wider war whenever they want.
My guess is Israel refrains from criticism and doesn't attack Iran directly because as long as they do so, they can defeat Iran's proxies Hamas and Hezbollah piece by piece as long as US holds Iran in check.
Mired in ideology and corruption, the US regime cannot take the initiative on anything.
Good post. But also don’t neglect to consider that Mossad may have given Israel plenty of blackmail material on US politicians. Corrupt and sleazy politicians are not only liable to be blackmailed by our enemies, they can also be blackmailed by our allies.
Epstein.
The South Communist China Morning Pest is trying to out-Pravda Pravda.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.
But he did know where all the bodies were buried ... and where the boys were buggered ... and where the girls were raped ...
