    This is absolutely nauseating!

    The power of the Israel Lobby to get politicians - even someone like Obama who is supposed to be different- to bend over backward to prove their undying devotion for Israel makes me sick.

    All this for an apartheid state that practices ethnic cleansing and collective punishment and makes America look bad, real bad in the world!
