...claiming that Israel "doesn't want war" is claiming that Israel is "the victim": and that's just not true. Israel is the aggressor. So like many (not all) of my American Jewish friends, these three are running a leftist blocking campaign for Israel, creating excuses for...

...future aggression against "aggressors" that, like Syria, are actually victims portrayed as aggressors in narratives carefully constructed out of black-ops, false flags, & straight-up MSM / Dept. of State / USMilitary lies. These criticisms are harsh, and painful: but accurate.

Ben, Max, & Rania need to dig deeper to address these very genuine concerns about what masters they truly serve; if it's a genuine desire to expose the truth and work against European imperialism (of which Israel is the point-of-the-spear in the Middle East), then they need to...

they're doing a good job and I think they can be wrong once in a while w/o being part of a conspiracy. Blumenthal's been accused of being a secret media asset for years because of who his his father is. that dog has not been proven to hunt

Yeah--I pity the guy, actually, b/c I really think he wants to be an effective investigative journalist a la Sy Hersh. He's in a rock-and-a-hard place. I don't think there's a "conspiracy," just a bit too much Am. Excep'sm & not enough work to get outside the AIPAC/CFR/...

Sy Hersh? please. has been working for CIA all his life, since My Lai limited hangout covering for Phoenix Program. never revealed name of a CIA officer, appears critical of power while maintaining access to treasure trove of “insider” information which keeps him monetized & safe

I think you have a peculiarly idealized vision of how "investigative journalism" works, Cú Chulainn (@Cukullen). ^_^ One must cultivate sources, and one only gets to publish what they can give you, & which can be verified. Ya: I have no doubt Hersh has "worked for the CIA"...

...but he's also done some great work as a mouthpiece for people in the US Mil. who absolutely despise the CIA (or at least big parts of it ). It's a balancing act, and yeah: I'm sure he knows he gets used. So it goes, tho. Hersh's facts are always reliable, and trustworthy.
