Being "the largest American military base in the Middle East" implies that the USA is controlling Israel when it is obviously the other way around.
Truth.
AIPAC has it's fingers into a lot of re-elections campaign finance machines, that's for sure. Been that way for a long time apparently.
Had a client many years ago who was a fashion model in the 1950's in New York - she went to many tony events across Manhattan (her husband was a publisher) and she said the Israeli PR machine that operated even then had blatant disdain for the US government and was openly dismissive and belittling of American politics.
She was easten european and had an Askenazi face and an old world first name that made people think she was Jewish so she heard a lot of shit as the old codgers at the fundraisers would open up around her and speak their minds.
