From the article: When Israel assassinates an Iranian scientist, uses chemical weapons in Gaza, tortures prisoners, murders a young American peace activist, enfilades a burial party, [shoots up the USS Liberty] or is caught spying on the American president, the congress will leap in unison to its defense–no questions asked, no questions answered–and dispatch another check to Tel Aviv.
What is the backstory to this relationship? Just the power of the Israeli lobby?
And how many in Congress hold dual citizenship? It's hard to vet that info but a number of websites have lists of US politicians that hold dual citizenship. Here's one such list.
Before anyone gets in a huff about the deleted comments in here....I tried to delete my comment and accidentally deleted that archive comment from the bot (or just a new user that never posts anything but archive links). And apparently you can't reverse a delete here yet.
So tell me, in the many, MANY decades that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been happening, which side is "anti-Semitic" the side that imposes a worse-than-aparteid regime on local the local populous, bombs local infrastructure, and murders COUNTLESS LOCAL CIVILIANS, or the Palestinian PEOPLE.
Because according to definitions, the SEMITES have been under persecution from completely NON SEMITIC converts to an ancient SEMITIC religion, that seem to think its okay to ethnically cleanse populations

Any criticism of Israel is Anti-Semitic. How could you not know this? It's in the Jerusalem Post:
