When will Israel start supporting America?

With the US taxpayer already shelling out huge sums for the benefit of Israel, will Washington’s demands to freeze Israeli settlement construction come about, or is the relationship between the two truly one-sided?

Many in the US government especially at the top can not say or do anything against the Rouge State of Israel. These Government officials including the President have been bought and paid for or blackmailed into turning a blind eye to whats happened. Now there are 11 US Citizens who sit in Israel Prisons. Israel has stated this May have been a mistake on their part. The United States of America has said NOTHING in condemnation of their OWNERS and MASTERS the Israeli State. Not one word about the American Prisoners being held. One includes a SURVIVOR of a previous Unites States Navel Warship "Liberty" who for two hours was under air and navel fire 34 men died. NO support was given during the attack by the Mighty Military of the United States. Shame on every member of Congress, the Senate, including the entire Cabinet and including the Vice President and President including their corrupt aids of which one or two have been vacationing in Israel at the time of the Piracy of the Freedom Flotilla. At this time with this administration most Americans are ashamed and have been betrayed by the people which have been elected to protect the United States of America.

The Israeli military has murdered Turkish citizens in international waters. And the government of Israel has made it clear it would sink any Turkish warships protecting the aid convoy. So now Obama must choose between Israel and Turkey. He will of course choose Israel. Dealing a devastating blow against the integrity of NATO. Turkey is a NATO member but NATO won't come to Turkey's aid if Israel attacks. And the Turkish government(and the World) now know it. Like many others I wait to see which Western interest the Israeli military attack next. Which new alliances between old foes are cemented by the actions of some Israeli drone. What is clear is that the old Western order is passing an that Israel is a catalyst for that change. P.S. Much of the Western press has passed adverse comments on the relationship between China and North Korea. Compared to the USA, EU , Israel relationship it now appears as a model of rational behavior between states.

Hillary Clinton used some very interesting ques (both body language and speach formulation) when she made the official US statement about ending the Gaza blockade. These ques were very similar to those taught to those who may be required to make a statement they do not support in a hostile situation. This may indicate that Clinton has been ordered to make this statement - which may in turn possibly indicate some divisions in the White House regarding the Gaza issue. Watch a reply of Clinton making this statement and draw your own conclusion.

Such expectations make you think that brilliantly executed provocation was carefully planned and achieved all its goals aiming not at delivering help to struggling supporters of Hamas but to torpedo current shaky but still balance in Middle East.
