(The Big Question - Do American 'Christians' worship Christ or 'our greatest ally Israel'? - CL)
To be sure, Christian community and religious leaders have been aware of what exactly is going on and have protested to what would appear to be the appropriate Israeli government authorities, but generally to no avail. Their cause would be helped if majority Christian nations like the US and in Europe would speak up and put pressure on Israel for fair treatment for Christians, but they are generally silent due to their having been corrupted and intimidated by the various manifestations of the Israel Lobby active in their countries. Likewise, the media in those countries is very careful about what it prints or says about Israel or Jews as such criticism is a crime in many jurisdictions, something which is becoming increasingly the case in the United States and tied to evidence free deportations of those who object to what is occurring in Gaza.

The Netanyahu Israeli government is not very interested in human rights for anyone who is not a Conservative or Orthodox Jew. It is, in fact, essentially hostile to all Palestinians and foreigners, be they Muslim, Christian or even irreligious. They regularly denigrate such people as what Germans in the 1930s would have referred to as “untermenschen” meaning subhumans, a word then used to describe Jews, ironically enough. That the United States ignores all of Israel’s war crimes and human rights violations is disgraceful, but par for the course as American Jews who are advocates for Israel have corrupted and taken firm control of the political process. And do not think for a second that Israel’s leaders give one damn about the United States and its people, a majority of whom are at least nominally Christian. Recall for a moment how former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon referred to Americans in a discussion with Foreign Minister Shimon Peres: “Every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.” And more recently Netanyahu said “America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction.” That is what they really think of us.
