Hi Steve....

Indeed the "anti semetic" argument is used by all sides ---to their convenience which is too bad because like anything - discrimination, sex harassment, etc ---it takes way from *worthy* accusations. The other problem is - Leftists will only see it when a fella like Cenk is accused of it. Righties will only take umbrage if a Righty media guy is accused of it.

I don;'t follow Israeli politics so i can't speak to corruption. I am speaking of - systematic, well funded, well organized manipulation and control -- and frankly hat tip to Israel for their influence in America.

Cenk speaks out - how's his career? Is on major network prime time?

Tucker Carlson speaks out - same question.

Go back to the glory Gulf War days of the early 90s. Seriously. After the Gulf War - James A Baker and Papa Bush spoke loudly, forcefully about settlements. And, well, interest rates stayed too high, too long in the face of economic slowdown. It's curious how the rates did get lowered.....but only when too late to feel the effeccts for Bush's reelection yet GDP was already growing robustly when Clinton took office.

Likewise, Dubya shined Israel's shoes perfectly. Interest rates seem to treat him ok.

Hence i'm interested to sere how Israel threads the needle going forward. They need the Right to cling to their Book of Revelations - where God needs their mortal asses to be $12 an hour security guards for God's "chosen" "Israel"! Never mind who looked the other way when Junior got his butt kicked and crucified and didn't even get a Whopper with Cheese for his last meal.

The Right, namely the religious Right has given Israel tons of political capital. But this new wave of HitlerSpeak -- i feel - isn't going away due to stupid people having access to other stupid people on social media.

YET on the Left, then young elite Progressives on campus, ie tomorrow's Ruling Class, well --- let's just say their "feelings" on certain people and entities....isn't that great either.

Hence i say threading the needle. If anyone knows how to do it economically, politically, organizationally it would be the Israeli apparatus in America for sure. Nobody else could balance such a tightrope in an otherwise "them vs us" absolutist culture.
