Weakening Iran & possibly even replacing its government is the most compelling issue for Israel & its powerful US domestic lobby, but the Israeli plan is much broader: to make the US the junior partner providing the money & weapons in an effort to militarily dominate the Middle East… Biden/Blinken administration caves on IDF killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, Syria, etc
“Congressional Zionists” managed to sneak an extra $1 billion to Israel in this year’s budget, on top of the usual $3.8 billion. A whole $219 million is earmarked for non-Hamas Palestinians.

An extraordinary constellation of pro-Israel influences have pervaded Ketanji Brown Jackson’s life and in some cases assisted her career… As a Supreme Court Justice, will she be able to live up to her pledge to interpret the law ‘without fear or favor’ ?

Russia is following Israel’s playbook to the letter. The difference: Russia will be a global pariah; Israel always acts with impunity – and gets over $10 million per day from US taxpayers.
