There are no polls or panels in Britain trying to assess which US presidential candidate might be best for us.
Nor, I would imagine, are there polls in any other country.
Only in Israel.
The "Israel Factor" shows the closeness with which the Jews of Israel are studying the American political process, it shows how important the outcome of the election is to Israel, it shows how vital it is for the American Jewish Lobby to steer events in the USA, by whatever means they can, in a way that is advantageous to Israel.

In short, the "Israel factor" gives everyone a glimpse of the monstrous hold that Israel and the Jews of America have on American democracy.
