America still supports Israel … for some reason
Well, the politicians do anyway. While popular support for Israel is really only overwhelming in the evangelical Christian population, the administration and most successful politicians have nothing but nice things to say – regardless of how many people Israel starves, displaces, or detains for peaceful demonstration.
To confirm, the U.S. is now blocking a UN investigation of Israel’s boarding of an aid flotilla in international waters. While Turkey fumes, Nicaragua cuts ties with Israel, and Ireland demands the immediate and safe return of all nationals on board – any American attempts to ostracize Israel might actually be illegal.
Freedom indeed – just so long as you boycott the countries you’re supposed to boycott and defend the religious fundamentalists you’re supposed to defend.
