"You Can Advocate Torture+Illegal Spying-But You CAN'T Criticize Israel" - Glenn Greenwald

[kpete]

"In the U.S., you can advocate torture, illegal spying, and completely optional though murderous wars and be appointed to the highest positions. But you can't, apparently, criticize Israeli actions too much or question whether America's blind support for Israel should be re-examined," - Glenn Greenwald.

Yes: John Yoo, Doug Feith, David Addington: mainstream. Chas Freeman: crackpot.

9. Fourth. But not for even criticising, but for posting a curious

3. Israel has become a Sacred Cow without blemish in American poliitics.

Politicians are automatically issued blindfolds when taking office for the occasions that they will have to deal with Israel.
