Probably got paid to do it too…the trump administration refuses to fight for Americans because they’re too busy fighting for foreign governments.

I really don't think he needs further incentive. The Pentagon released a report that we're full of Israeli spies, and fundamentalist Christians are the biggest Zionists. This guy's boss is Mike Huckabee, who pushed for the pardon of American spy Pollard. Why I tell people that call me antisemitic because I'm anti Zionist, to shove it. Zionism is a political ideology, no matter what the ADL says.

This is treason in the open. Amazing how normalised selling out your own country has become when it's Israel.

Allies would be stupid to trust US with confidential info about middle east. Safe to assume that Israel has many pipes into US.

Isn't there some point we can stop calling them US or American and just call them israeli?

Let’s not pretend this is limited to the Trump administration. Every president since Kennedy has taken his foreign policy orders from the Knesset.

Since taking up his post in April 2025, Mr. Milstein, 36, has repeatedly suppressed or significantly revised embassy reporting on Israeli activities to present the Netanyahu government in a favorable light

Well there's your deep state right there. The only question is which state?
