Israel – What do I know?

Right, I’m prepared to make myself look like an idiot here.  Why is it that whilst so much of the world opposes the actions of Israel, with regard to its occupation of other countries, the blockade of Gaza, and unofficial possession of nuclear weapons, their support by the USA remains solid?

I admit it, I’m a nosey parker

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but I’ve been a recruiter since 1987. “I didn’t know that!” I hear you say.  Yes it’s true.  Up until a couple of years ago, admitting it in public was equated with being league with the devil, and greeted with a look of bemused disgust.  And then of [...]
