Criticism of Shamir
Although Price presents a forceful warning about continued United States support of Israel’s cruel treatment of the Palestinians, his words are true, but on balance a waste of time. Until the Israelis get all they want, their bloodletting, bone crushing, burying alive and other atrocities will continue. And the United States will continue to be the principal financial supporter of these barbaric actions--much to the grief of its citizens if they would bother to find out what is going on.
Our sponsorship of this mayhem will go on as long as our congressmen rely on campaign funds supplied by Israeli lobbyists. Really now, is what’s best for Israel necessarily best for the United States?
Meanwhile we must watch Israel commit more and more mischief.
