The term "American exceptionalism" is in the common parlance, but we don't talk about "Israeli exceptionalism". Compared to America, it is MORE remarkable that Israel routinely and openly defies the rules for the way nations behave toward one another. America gets to break the rules because America MAKES the rules, with the world's largest military to stand behind our self-righteousness. But how does Israel get to avoid censure when it annexes territory, runs an apartheid state, and bombs its neighbors? Remember the attack on the Liberty in 1967. What other country could have gotten away with such brazen aggression toward the US?

The only plausible answer is that Israel is protected by the US when it does things that no other nation could get away with. There are two possibilities: This could be because Israel has undue influence over US policy through lobbying or blackmail or bribery. Or it could be that the US is using Israel as its agent, giving Israel license to do things that the US doesn't want to be caught doing itself.

Laurent Guyenot delivers master class analysis, not just with JFK, but 911 as well.

His magisterial book, From Yahweh to Zion, is must reading.
