Israel Vetos U.S. Presidential Decision-Making

Charles Freeman on the Israeli lobby, which, with the support of its fellow travelers who are U.S. citizens, now threatens the independence of the U.S. and its national security by warping U.S. foreign policy to the service of a militantly expansionist and racist Israeli elite:

The libels on me and their easily traceable email trails show conclusively that there is a powerful lobby determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East. ...

The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth.


Freeman's written comments, as published by Juan Cole, include this remark:

I do not believe the National Intelligence Council could function effectively while its chair was under constant attack by unscrupulous people with a passionate attachment to the views of a political faction in a foreign country.

I would like someone to explain to me how the National Intelligence Council can function effectively when its chair can be vetoed by "unscrupulous people with a passionate attachment to the views of a political faction in a foreign country."

Obama's caving in to Israeli elite pressure will come back to haunt us all.
