The Israeli government has made it clear they want to loudly champion the Egyptian coup, using their considerable lobbying capabilities to press Western nations to stay on the junta’s side.
Arguing that human rights in Egypt are beside the point is one thing, but trying to make an actual proactive case for the policy isn’t so easy. Desperate for some excuse, Israel is trying to make funding the junta about the Palestinian peace talks.
Officials have reportedly warned the US that if the elected government of Egypt returns to power it would “pose a risk to the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks,” and that therefore the US needs to keep backing the junta in spite of ongoing massacres.
The best soundbite of the rather tortured effort came from an unnamed Israeli official who dubbed the junta and its backers the “axis of reason,” which needs to be supported at all costs.
American`s are not fools to be used that crudely by their Zionist friends.
We should not be, but frankly we have been. That needs to change, but there is no realistic sign of it changing yet.
What parallel universe are you on sir? Americans have proven to be fools and have been used much more crudely by their Zionist masters. Show me one, just one, incident of pushback from the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Are you kidding me? The Israelis has been a parasite to the US since day one.
