Dr: Paul Craig Roberts: The Puppet State America

The United States government and its subject people think of the US as the world's only superpower. But how is a country a superpower, when its entire government and a majority of the subjects, especially those members of evangelical churches, grovel at the feet of the Israeli Prime Minister? How is a country a superpower when it lacks the power to determine its own foreign policy in the Middle East? Such a country is not a superpower. It is a puppet state. In the past few days we have witnessed, yet again, the American superpower groveling at Netanyahu's feet. When Netanyahu decided to again murder the Palestinian women and children of Gaza, to further destroy what remains of the social infrastructure of the Gaza Ghetto, and to declare Israeli was crimes, and Israeli crimes against humanity to be merely the exercise of self defense, the US Senate, the US House of Representatives, the White House, and the US media all promptly declared their support for Netanyahu's crimes. On November 16, the Congress of the Superpower, both House and Senate, passed overwhelmingly the resolutions written for them by AIPAC, the Israeli Lobby known as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the only foreign agent that is not required to register as a foreign agent. The Global News Service of the Jewish People reported their power over Washington with pride. Both Democrats and Republicans shared the dishonor of serving Israel and evil, instead of America and justice for the Palestinians. The White House quickly obeyed the summons from the Israel Lobby. President Obama announced that he is fully supportive of Israel's assault on Gaza. Ben Rhodes, White House deputy national security adviser, told the media on November 17 that the White House wants the same thing as the Israelis want. This is an overstatement, as many Israelis oppose the crimes of the Israeli government, which is not the government of Israel, but the government of the settlers, that is, the crazed land hungry immigrants who are illegally, with Netanyahus support, stealing the lands of the Palestinians.
