As a non American I always get baffled how Americans can elect Congress members who openly pledge allegiance to Israel another country ahead of America whenever there is a conflict of interest.
Example from ASsoc Press.
“While Netanyahu’s reception at the White House was frosty, he was widely praised on Capitol Hill.
“We in Congress stand by Israel,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “We have no stronger ally anywhere in the world than Israel,” said House Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.
The pro-Israel lobby remains a potent one. On what other issue, for instance, have Pelosi and Boehner seen eye to eye?
Officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee rallied to Netanyahu’s defense against the administration’s scolding when he addressed the group on Tuesday. “When disagreements inevitably arise, they should be resolved privately, as is befitting close allies,” said AIPAC executive director Howard Kohr.”
In other words Congress will always pledge allegiance to Israel ahead of anything including their own Presisent. American Patriotism is a fallacy. In fact overall Americans are the least patriotic of any nation.
