“In a report on Saturday, The Washington Times quoted three unnamed sources as saying Obama had confirmed to Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, that he would maintain the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.”
Unless Israel’s nukes can reach the US I’m not sure what sway they hold over us. We look the other way from their war crimes, land grabs, and totally disregard the suffering of the Palestinian people. Jerks like Lindsey Graham advocate attacking Iran for Israel. Why don’t we just make them the 51st state and be done with it. What surprised me was how long this silence has been going on.
“In 2007, the Nixon library declassified a July 19, 1969, memo from Henry Kissinger, then national security adviser, that comes closest to articulating US policy on the issue.
That memo says "while we might ideally like to halt actual Israeli possession, what we really want at a minimum may be just to keep Israeli possession from becoming an established international fact".”
