I didn't even have to read beyond the first paragraph to find propaganda.



Translation: “Our partners” means “His Masters’ Voice,” Washington;


Washington isn't the master of Israel. Israel does whatever the fuck it wants and Washington must accept it because
1. it desperately needs Israel as an ally in the Middle-East
2. NOT supporting Israel means that you are automatically like Hitler
3. NOT supporting Israel is the best way to incite outrage among the Religious Right in the US.



the CIA persist to “support” and/or weaponize assorted Salafi-jihadi goons, “moderate” or otherwise.

Oh, yeah. Everybody who fights the blood-thirsty dictator is automatically a muslim extremist and terrorist. Got it.

I looked at the whole article and it did not mention Israel once. You looked at the first paragraph and had a response about Israel. Perhaps you have a little obsession about that country?

Something is seriously wrong with anyone who reads an article about a subject, thinks it's about something entirely different and immediately start ranting about the unrelated matter.
