I’m not talking about Biden going there as VP, which is clearly part of US foreign policy. I’m talking about trips that are not part of policy, more like meet-and-greet/networking affairs. And it’s not just congressmen. It’s also various lobbyists, and lawyers connected with federal and state government departments, etc.
This used to be a mainly Democratic party phenomenon, but over the last couple of decades it’s increasingly being done by Republicans also, especially the neocons and the evangelicals.
The thing that confuses me is this: Why?
Our trade with Israel is minor, compared to our trade with many other countries. Israel is not nearby. It’s not part of NATO. Etc, etc, etc. We’re stuck in no-win wars in the Middle East, but Israel can’t help us there. In fact, our relationship with Israel probably harms us more than it helps us, in that regard.
We do have poor relations with some of the people Israel has a quarrel with, but one of the reasons for that is that we get lumped in with Israel because we provide cover for their policies. We’re not the ones grabbing Palestinian land, the Israelis are. But our support for Israel lumps us in with them and creates enemies for us. That, by the way, was why Israel announced that they’re building 1,600 new residential units on confiscated Palestinian land DURING Biden’s trip. They WANT to make that US-Israel connection in people’s minds. Who here is stupid enough to believe that the timing was a mistake. Really? And was it a mistake when they used to do the same thing to Condi? They keep dragging us into their arguments with their neighbors and we end up getting it in the neck.
And for this privilege, we pay them over $6 billion a year directly, and quite a bit more when you count the value of our UN veto, arms technology, financial links, etc etc etc. Can someone explain again why we do this to ourselves?
I like Ron Paul’s solution to this issue: You guys want to grab other people’s land and blow each other up? Fine. But do it on your own dime and stop dragging us into your stupidity. We have enough of our own problems. We don’t need your help and we’d really like it if you’d stop calling us for help.

Israel is the gate through which all American politicians have to go if they want to get a position in the government or retain their positions. Doesn’t this confirm what Sharon said, “We Jews rule America.”? So every politician has to take his oath in Israel before he claims his office in the USA. Israel has become the mecca for those politicians who undertake to serve Israel even if it were at the expense of their own country. Therefore, the series of wars is not over; it started with Afganistan, Iraq, maybe Iran soon! and God only knows who is next. You must know that security of Israel is first and is even more important than the security of America. This is the country of the “Chosen People”!!!?? Isn’t ironic that American politicians have more allegiance to Israel than their own country? I pity such a country.

Mossad + CIA + M15 =

Yes, it’s odd. Disloyalty abounds.
nice article, but as long as these Zionist trash keep controlling the US government and Foreign Policy,Ron Paul can’t do a thing. The only was is to throw them out of Congress and the government than MAYBE USA has a chance to save it self before it’s too late. Otherwise, America will sink like the Titanic just because they wanted to defend the “Zionists”, the Zionists who want to make the whole world their slaves.
USA politicians go to Israel to set up the bank accounts where their bribies from Israel can be deposited.
I have to agree with a disagree. There is a oil reason for }sreal planed into the middle east. Long before WWI,America had a sinister plan–support the transfer of Jews into Palestine.What America now has a private run military USA outpost. Don’t kid yourselves,America had a lot to do with the mess. What is puzzling–most of the Jewish Isrealies/government are Xrussian Jews.could they turn on us? You bet!
This week on WRH,we learned for the first time,that on Sept 11/01 at 3PM,hundreds of Israelies took off from Kenndy Airport to Israel. No-one was allowed to fly that day.we kept hearing of the Bn Ladins–that was Sept 14/01.
Samething happened in the USS Liberty killings–lies by our government.seems it gets bigger of a crime and the USA public laps it up. The word stupid is always splet with a U and I
Cheers–suffer more–IRS needs your hard earn money for }searl-best medical care, 4th best econony, Free housing.best military equipped,no jail time killing Arabs–Hey! how do I get to be Jewish?
Jews don’t CONTROL anything. A few who have lots of money spend it on political influence in US politics, that is not the same. In fact most Diaspora Jews are as loyal to their homelands as anyone else. But then one could say that healthcare industry doesn’t control Congress, it just buys it off. The real issue is that extreme Zionists– with no affection for us goyim and even less for Diaspora Jews who deem Israel a nice place to visit but not to live– are in panic as more Israelis EMIGRATE FROM ISRAEL as Diaspora Jews IMMIGRATE TO ISRAEL. Jews have become so deeply assimilated in the West that a great many marry outside the religion and lose their legal status as Israeli citizens. Despite an ever evolving defrauding of the Holocaust– a real horror that has repeatedly been exploited and revised to fit the needs of the same Zionists who had come to cash-and-carry terms with Hitler– this fruit has run out of juice. The Holocaust psychosis has subsided in Diaspora Jews because Holocaust guilt has subsided. Jews, for the most part, no longer see Israel as relevant to their lives. Desperately Sharon in 2002 declared that any Jew that does not make the Great Aliyah to Israel for permanent immigration by 2020 “will lose his Jewish soul.†It didn’t work. Most of the “Jewish Settlements” in Palestinian territories are empty shells, a mere attempt to attract Diaspora Jews to great bargain houses, constructed at the cost of American taxpayers. Meanwhile, the Israeli economy exist, like the nation, as a 62y/o fetus on an engorged American $ placenta. GREATER ISRAEL is a dangerous psychotic dream that guarantees that by the end of the century Israel will exist no more. The Holocaust boogieman is deemed a thing of the past by most Jews and the many Israelis who migrate to jobs in the West as soon as they get their highly-prized Israeli university diploma. The idea of a dangerous anti-Semitic world everywhere except in that piece of desert is absurd. The psychotic contradiction: ISRAEL IS IN DANGER and ISRAEL IS A COOL PLACE constitutes self-defeating hasbara that causes ever more Jews to dis-identify with it in embarrassment….especially after the neocons applied their Leninist tactic of POLARIZE TO MOBILIZE, calling all Jews who question the neocon call for “World War IV” against Islam, directed by Israel and fought by the US, “self-hating Jews” and decry questioning non-Jews “anti-Semites.”
Israel’s only hope is a two states-one economy relationship with the Palestinians and serving as the nuclear umbrella for its Arab neighbors against Iran’s nukes. Then, proving itself as back in the Semitic family of the region instead of a European finger in the Middle East via NATO and EU (it will never happen), a smaller Israel can become a bigger Israel, leading the Arabs into modernity with its sci/tech know-how. War means death for Israel because Zionists were not planning on a perpetual military life in a garrison state. The current Likud psychosis manifests both Likudniks’ realization that Greater Israel can’t be and their inability to accept it. So “entrepreneurs” in search of cash are visiting Israel hoping to get money from rich Zionists in the USA. Of course, they can’t compete with the oil Arabs. Likud’s insane paroxysm of today is recognition that it is a dead movement.
JESUS WAS NOT A Jew
Benjamin H. Freedman, Jewish Historian – Researcher – Scholar.
From “Common Sense”, p. 2-1-53 and 5-1-59
“Christians have been duped by the unholiest hoax in all history, by so-called Jews. This is considered their most effective weapon.”
“This ‘big lie’ technique is brainwashing United States Christians into believing that Jesus Christ was “King of the Jews”, in the sense that so-called ‘Jews’ today call themselves ‘Jews’. This reference was first made in English translations of the Old and New Testaments, centuries before the so-called Jews highjacked the word ‘Jew’ in the 18th century A.D. to palm themselves off on the Christian world as having a kinship with Jesus Christ. This alleged kinship comes from the myth of their common ancestry with the so-called ‘Jews’ of the Holy Land in the Old Testament history, a fiction based on fable.”
“American Christians little suspect they are being brainwashed twenty-four hours of every day over television and radio, by newspapers and magazines, by motion pictures and plays, by books, by political leaders in office and seeking office, by religious leaders in their pulpits and outside their churches, by leaders in the field of education inside and outside their curricular activities, and by all leaders in business, professions and finance, whose economic security demands that they curry the favor of so-called “Jews” of historic Khazar ancestry. Unsuspecting Christians are subjected to this barrage from sources they have little reason to suspect. Incontestable facts supply the unchallengeable proof of the historic accuracy that so-called “Jews” throughout the world today of eastern European origin are unquestionably the historic descendants of the Khazars, a pagan Turko-Finn ancient Mongoloid nation deep in the heart of Asia, according to history, who battled their way in bloody wars about the 1st century B.C. into eastern Europe where they set up their Khazar kingdom. For some mysterious reason the history of the Khazar kingdom is conspicuous by its absence from history courses in the schools and colleges.
“The historic existence of the Khazar kingdom of so-called “Jews”, their rise and fall, the permanent disappearance of the Khazar kingdom as a nation from the map of Europe, and how King Bulan and the Khazar nation in about 740 A.D. became so-called “Jews” by conversion, were concealed from American Christians by censorship imposed by so-called “Jews”, of historic Khazar ancestry, upon all U.S.A. media of mass communications directed by them. Then in 1945 this author gave nation-wide publicity to his many years intensive research into the “facts of life” concerning Khazars. The disclosures were sensational and very effective but apparently angered so-called “Jews” who have continued to vent their spleen upon this author since then solely for that reason. Since 1946 they have conducted a vicious smear campaign against him, seeking thus to further conceal these facts, for obvious reasons. What have they to fear from the truth?
“In an original 1903 edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia in New York’s Public Library, and in the Library of Congress, Volume IV, pages 1 to 5 inclusive, appears a most comprehensive history of the Khazars. Also in the New York Public Library are 327 books by the world’s greatest historians and other sources of reference, in addition to the Jewish Encyclopedia, dealing with Khazar history, and written between the 3rd A.D. and 20th centuries by contemporaries of the Khazars and by modern historians on that subject.”
“Does anyone else find it odd that Israel is the most visited foreign country by US politicians? ”
Anybody who does find it odd is essentially clueless.
“The thing that confuses me is this: Why?”
Ditto.
