The US should mind its own business

By Ted Belman

The U.S. State Department said Monday evening that it expected Israel to “stick to its democratic principles,” in its first response to the Jewish nation-state bill.

“Israel is a Jewish and democratic state and all its citizens should enjoy equal rights. We expect Israel to stick to its democratic principles,” the State Department said.

First of all there is nothing undemocratic about the bill.

The US has no business telling us what laws to pass.

These criticisms are meant to discredit Zionism.  Zionism is not racism.

  1. Ruling through presidential “executive orders” above the heads of the Senate and the Congres and in direct violation of the Constitution – that’s democracy?

  2. There is nothing undemocratic or objectionable about calling Israel a Jewish state. That’s what it is, the nation-state of the Jewish people.

  3. The state department of the neo emperor Obama who acts outside the USA democracy in avoiding congress is trying to provide its dicates to Israel on how to run its legislature and what laws to pass, really? Arrogance gone rampant!

    Naw I’ve been advocating economic independence since I first came to Israel. Political independence is dependent on economic Independence.

    Forgive me Yamit82. I constantly astounded by the breath of your political knowledge, understanding and expertise.

    Oops, I think my tongue is stuck in my cheek.

  9. @ yamit82:
    Fact. The US causes intentional harm to us by “granting” money with vicious strings attached.
    I am sure the US taxpayers can use those funds over there.
    Cutting that cord is a top priority.

  11. America has always interfered in our political process even sending as did Clinton his political brain trust to help Barak oust BB in 1999. Barak won!! Clinton claimed “he was as happy as a kid with a new toy” when Barak won.

    The arrogance of a Master to his Vassal!!!!!

    That’s how all American administrations have viewed and view Israel and how most Israelis view themselves: ‘Master and Vassal’!!!

  13. Mr. Obama,
    In Israel ALL laws are passed by Parliament and no one dares to bypass that. Except that is, the ones indirectly slipped in by those that screech “demokracy” while shutting down newspapers that represent Jewish National interests.
    Call us when you stop violating the US Constitution please.
