“U.S.-Israel relations have taken another frosty turn”

How does this affect the pallet bricks of billions in cash being delivered to Israel? Oh.. I see. Just more empty rhetoric. Sorry - thought something might actually happen there for a moment. Silly me.

“We have a close, unshakeable bond between the United States and Israel and between the American and Israeli people who share common values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world.”(As if we don’t share common human values with the Palestinians and their wish to form their own government with as much democracy as they can muster under their constricted circumstances? And are we not increasing their slavery by refusing to intercede in their favor?)
  What twaddle!  The bond is between Congresspersons who need campaign contributions and the AIPAc types who are blind to Israel’s sins of commission and omission. 
  The tighter the bond between US-AIPAC and Israel gets, the more the sensible people in the world will turn against Israel’s policies and sympathize with the beleaguered Palestinians who are so disempowered by occupation and poverty that they can do nothing but fire off a few rockets from time to time just to prove to themselves that they are still alive.
  If the US cannot bring itself to speak truth to Israel and its supporters, then the world as a whole will have to find a way to intercede nonviolently in the name of common sense and end this deliberately debilitating stalemate. (And by the way, where are the Arab states in this intercession?)
As it stands now, the US seems to be doing more harm than good by playing favorites at the same time it pretends to be “helping both sides reach agreement.”

Let the posturing begin!

Did someone find a backbone somewhere in the closet?

The asylum called Israel is being run by the patients.

“We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel
and between the American and Israeli people who share common values
and a commitment to a democratic future for the world.””

I don’t believe for a nano second that anyone outside of our suck-up
government, and the usual lackeys and apologists, has an “unshakable
bond” with Israel.  Clinton, and her hubby, are kiss-ass stooges furthering
their own agenda.

Israel’s Palestinian policy is disgusting deplorable, inhumane, and it has
been rammed down American’s throat by people of her ilk.
