It's just a matter of time before U.S. tires of Israel

"No Roman province dared tell Julius Caesar what to do... Only Israel does this. On Monday, when Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu meet at the White House, it will be hard to tell which one is the real leader of the world... Netanyahu's Israel has dictated the global agenda as no small state [sic] has ever done before, just as its international standing is at its nadir and its dependence on the United States at a zenith.

Israel features in the American presidential campaign as no other foreign country does, with the candidates vying for the sobriquet of "biggest Israel-lover" to the point where it often seems to be the main issue. Rich Jews like Sheldon Adelson donate enormous war chests to candidates for the sole purpose of buying their support for Israel...

One day, perhaps, even in brainwashed America the questions may begin: another war? Is it right to put more American soldiers in harm's way for an interest that is more Israeli than it is American?

-- Gideon Levy, Haaretz

Obama is just another script reader who isn't the "real leader" of anything, as his pathetic appearance at the recent AIPAC conference demonstrates. It isn't "hard to tell" who calls the shots -- just watch which way the money flows and see who grovels to get it.
