John Whitbeck in COUNTERPUNCH where the title reads “American Obeisance” … & the highlighting emphasis is the work of The Editor, Thuppahi
I have just witnessed the most pathetic and humiliating hour which I, as an American, have experienced in my lifetime.
Netanyahu sketches vague outline for post-war Gaza _ Reuters
After virtually every sentence uttered by the notorious war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, no matter how inane or blatantly false, virtually all the attending political prostitutes infesting the U.S. Congress rose (53 times!) in a loud standing grovel of homage to their puppet master, most long and loudly when he condemned pro-justice and anti-genocide protestors on American campuses and on the streets of Washington during his speech as “useful idiots” financed by Iran.
Anyone watching this obscene spectacle could only conclude that the United States of America has ceased to be a respectable independent country and is now, as, indeed, it has been for many years already, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the State of Israel, with shared values which are rightfully rejected by the overwhelming majority of mankind.
