USA / Israel relations have been in turmoil recently.see http://www.voltairenet.org/article164852.html Joe Biden the vice Preseident of USA was visiting Israel in March this year,and Israel proceeded to forcibly take more Palistinian Land in East Jerusalem building 1600 new settlements.This was seen as a slap in the face for the USA.Hilary Clinton even weighed into the debate critising Israel.

Now Admiral Mullen Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, visited Israel in Aug 09 and then in Feb 10, raising the events of 1967 when Israel attacked the US Liberty in a false flag attack trying to get the USA to attack Egypt, whom Israel was fighting in the 6 day war.
Admiral Mullen made clear his displeasure at Israel's attempts to create a conflict with Iran.He has stated that Iran is no threat and Israel's behaviour is threatening the lives of US soldiers in Iraq.

Hillary Clinton & Joe Biden have since backed down,getting Congress to sign a letter of allegiance to Israel,promising not to criticise them.Congress has also by a vote of 400-11 brought in sanctions against Iran to limit their trade.Iran has the oil but not the means of refining it.So they are vunerable to sanctions.

AIPAC ( America Israel Public Affairs Committee) is said to be the most powerful lobby group in the USA.There are only 5 million people of Jewish origin living in pop of 308 million.How do they wield so much influence?

Does Israel Control the USA?

No.

Wow where are all the posts.
It seems this might be a bit hot for some.
The whole Israel thing is really complex, who is right and who is wrong.
When did it start and who started it?
your guess is as good as mine.
The one thing i am sure of is that Israel has the west so completely over the guilt barrel because of WW2 that they are not game to insist that they be responsible in their reactions to the Palestinians feeble attempts at self defence.
I think we all know that the occupied territories are completely unacceptable and the pre 67 boarders must be returned as soon as political stability can be returned to Palestine.

Dear Arjay,

You're not likely to be in a position to have
something worth saying unless you've spent
years immersing yourself in gaining knowledge,
experience, and understanding, and only then
if your agenda isn't hostile. Unless you've
got real experience and knowledge, what
can you say that won't sound foolish, or at
worse bigoted?

NO.
I however will never understand why I felt the need to reply.

Israel does not rule the world but the God of Israel soon will. His patience will run out with the godless Governments that He allows for a short time.
