You seem to be saying, String, that the U.S. government and news media are in the iron grip of Israel and its stooges. And the media and governments of other Western nations as well. How could this have this happened?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Claiming personal enlightenment is no evidence.

Not to change the subject, but why is it that the Palestinians and their Arab and Islamic governmental partisans refuse even to grant that the nation of Israel has a right to exist? Particularly when over 150 members of the UN not only recognize Israel's legitimacy but carry on reciprocal diplomatic relations with it? Is there any other nation on earth whose declared enemies repeatedly urge its annihilation? (Which brings me back to the question of how much magnanimity any conquerors of Israel might be expected to show to the defeated.) Proclaiming that Israel has as much right to exist as any other nation would be a giant step toward resuming negotiations. Why won't the Palestinians and their friends take it?

Among the 150 sovereign nations that recognize Israel's existence are Russia, China, Vietnam, South Africa, Egypt, and Jordan. Have they all been brainwashed? Or are they in cynical collusion with the "Great Satan"?

Assertions of Israeli evil (not to mention genoicide) that emanate solely from pro-Palestinian sources require the kind of extraordinary independent confirmation that Carl Sagan was talking about.
