      I don’t think it’s about having Israel under their thumb, but more likely it’s their donors. I know it’s not politically correct to talk about rich Jews, but there really are so many rich Jews who make it their lifes mission to influence a pro Israel US policy, and at the end of the day it’s money that moves the capitalist US political system on both sides of the party.

I’m not apt to dwell on it but will probably notice if similar articles come across my radar.
