City: State:
Do these Jewish congressmen and senators justify their support for Israel by telling themselves that the interests of America and Israel coincide?
Are they capable of recognising when policies and actions that are in Israel`s interests are not in America`s interests?
Can they bring themselves to vote against such actions and policies?
Do they have dangerously divided loyalties?.? Clickfool
Click fool, the answer is no, they do not have divided loyalties. They are loyal to Israel first and they are loyal to Israel second. Particularly if they are religious, as the Talmud commands that they be so.
They are not capable of seeing any divergence of America and Israeli interest, not that it would matter. And of course can they bring themselves to voter America? In a heartbeat! Their idols are great Jewish American patriots such as Pollard and Franklin.
On the bright side we do now have two Muslim congressmen. Looking forward to many more.
