To which country are you loyal?
When I joined the US Army decades ago, I took an oath to defend America against all enemies "foreign and domestic".
Ever since the Lavon Affair in the 1950s, Israel has repeatedly deceived, manipulated and even murdered loyal Americans.
The Lavon Affair was an earlier Israeli False Flag firebombing of US installations in Egypt.
The Israeli scheme was to firebomb an American target and blame it on the Egyptians so that America would attack Egypt.
Another Israeli False Flag betrayal was its deliberate attack on our USS Liberty and murder of 34 American G.I.s.
Apologists for Israel and America's noisy gaggle of "Israel Firsters" try to claim that the attack was an accident are quickly debunked by the fact that the Israelis used
unmarked French Mirage fighters for the initial attacks.
Later in the attack, our "ally" used torpedo boats to strafe lowered life rafts for the wounded Americans.
The Israelis were so proud of this war crime that they displayed the remains of the life raft in an Israeli museum.(1)
Finally, after military service in Laos, I was assigned to an Airborne Rapid Deployment Unit created only to protect Israel if necessary. At the same time we were told not to trust IDF as they are just trying to draw the US more deeply into an unwinnable war on Muslims.
A few years later when US Marines were in Lebanon: "
General R.H. Barrow charged that Israeli troops were deliberately threatening the lives of Marines serving as peacekeepers in Lebanon. There was, he wrote, a systematic pattern of harassment by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that was resulting in "life-threatening situations, replete with verbal degradation of the officers, their uniform and country."US Marines" (4)
More recent betrayals involve Israeli spying on the US, theft of US secrets and selling of them to hostile governments.(2)
Between the countless Israeli lobbies who manipulate US Middle East Policy and America's gaggle of disloyal "Israel Firsters", there doesn't seem to be anyone left to consider what is in America's best interests and the best interests of the loyal American G.I.s who get sent to fight wars for Israel's ruling right wing extremists. (3)
I had hoped that Americans had learned something from the criminal carnage in Iraq that fighting wars for Zionist regional hegemony is severely detrimental to America's best interests but the blood lust expressed in some of these Kill-all-the-Muslims comments shows how little was learned and by whom.
My first loyalty is to the US and I fully support the Jews being secure in their own country.
Yes, it's possible to do both but the only hope for peace is a is an equitable US Middle East policy.
We can't let Netanyahu exploit a tragedy using more American blood and resources for his genocidal agenda.

Israel is flouting the "friendly" rules of espionage to steal U.S. trade and tech secrets

EXCERPT "The Jewish state’s primary target: America’s industrial and technical secrets.
“No other country close to the United States continues to cross the line on espionage like the Israelis do,” said a former congressional staffer who attended another classified briefing in late 2013, one of several in recent months given by officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the State Department, the FBI and the National Counterintelligence Directorate.
The intelligence agencies didn’t go into specifics, the former aide said, but cited “industrial espionage—folks coming over here on trade missions or with Israeli companies working in collaboration with American companies, [or] intelligence operatives being run directly by the government, which I assume meant out of the [Israeli] Embassy.” CONTINUED
