Since my first visits to the U.S. back in the late sixties, and later in the early eighties when with my family, we officially emigrated to America , until very recently, I could not easily adapt myself to the notion of our strange relationship with the state of Israel.
Though with time I reconciled with this strange policy of ours, and accepted certain very publicised notions and aspects of our behaviour, as taking for granted that Jewish influence in all local elections is so powerful and essential to succeeding, and of course the known influence and lobbying tactics of AIPAC over congress is above all other consideration. It led me to think and believe that our extreme pragmatism lead us to such twisted behaviour.
Lately though, or at least in the last decade, matters have gone, and are going, more out of any control , going in ways that are against any rational or sensible policy, or even the simple safeguarding of our interests.
Never in the history of this great country of ours, did we humiliate ourselves, our leaders, our policies, by such begging for the approval of another state over our decisions and decision making . For whatever we want done, being it our elections, foreign policies, wars, or even decisions at our states and city level.
WE even resorted over the years to bribing and buying their acceptance and approval of our governing ourselves, and our interests, and it amounts to many , many billions of our tax money. Their leaders nowadays visit us as conquerors who come and dictate. It's a strange, indeed very strange, and sad, state of affairs we have reached in our independence, our freedom of choice, our electoral decisions. It is so unAmerican, and so undignified, and we insistently keep at it.
We are firmly and assertively making it a way - our way- of life.
Thanks for your time and patience.
