Whenever there is an article or discussion thread at all questioning of Israel, there always seems to be a flood of posters with bizarrely Orwellian and Kafkaesque logic defending Israel's most Likudnik positions and flaming any poster who seems to consider the Palestinians to be human beings. It makes me wonder if there is a department of the Mossad monitoring American media, always ready to pounce. Some of the terminology and phrasing can be so similar that one wonders if there aren't agents who maintain ten or fifteen identities and literally work full time monitoring American discussion groups, chat groups, etc.; since mainatining American support is so crucial to Israel that any slide to a balanced stance on the Middle East would be existentially threatening. One wonders too if these agents are paid for with part of the billions in American taxes sent annually to Israel. I've always wondered if some of that money doesn't get funneled back into organizations such as AIPAC to make sure the money keeps flowing. How ironic to be paying to have our own thoughts guided.
