Bush administration inspired by Israeli homeland security post 9/11

No real secrets here but at least it’s acknowledged that the extreme, often racist and discriminatory polices of the Zionist state assisted Washington after September 11. And the greatest irony of all? Neither country feels safe. Here’s the Times of Israel: The world changed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, former US secretary of…

Zionist state committing suicide with its eyes open

A new BBC poll finds popularity of Israel at a welcome low globally.
