Normally, if someone criticizes Israel or even a single Jew, that person would be accused of antisemitism and could, and likely would, be persecuted... depending which country he would be from. BUT, I guess, if this criticism comes from another high-ranking Jew, although an American, it can pass. Recently, Robert Gates had had it with Netanyahu and called him an ungrateful ally,.... ... endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israels growing isolation and with the demographic challenges it faces, if it keeps control of the West Bank." That is still very nicely put, but he has also been called untrustworthy by the former PM Tony Blair. In the second volume of his diaries he wrote candidly of the British view of then, and current, Netanyahu, saying Foreign Office officials had nicknamed Netanyahu "the armor-plated bull(*)(*)(*)(*)ter." Haha...I like that description, hearing it for the first time. It seems the Americans are waking up and start to realize how they are being drained by Israel.

Gates was one of the best SODs and he has the balls to speak the truth. Kudos to Gates. He is the only Sec of Def. to stand up for the soldier since WWII. Other politicians should grow a pair or get some from Rosie Odonald, rather than kiss butt to all the jewish broadcast media and jewish people of Florida and NY, and MI, and CA, and the entertainment industry, and the gold and diamond industry etc...
