Wow, even while merely critiquing a change in legislative policy this congresman felt the need to affirm his belief that "Israel is a friend and ally."
How many other nations do our politicians feel compelled to make such remarks about? Maybe Ukraine?
- orwin 3y agoJapan I think. Basically any powerful US ally in an area where the US have strategic interest and not a lot of support.
- whinenot 3y agoWell, we wouldn't want the Okinawans and Yokohamans to kick us out, after all.
- isykt 3y agoCriticizing Israel is a the fastest ticket to getting called an anti-Semite.
- hobo_in_library 3y agoI wish people went back accusing people of the real evil, being racist, instead of a term which scares anyone away from making legitimate criticisms...like accusing Israel of racist policies.

Biden made fairly similar mouth-noises when he went on over to Europe to bemoan that the Germans would rather plunge Europe into a depression and trigger a turn to the far-right than deficit-spend for a minute... and then Biden reassured everyone about the solidity of the US-EU relationship eternal friendship special relationship etc etc. https://online.findlay.edu/2579-2/#:~:text=Many%20business%20professionals%20tout%20the,the%20blow%20of%20the%20critique https://online.findlay.edu/2579-2/#:~:text=Many%20business%2....
