Re: ...a wasp lays its eggs in a much larger spider, often a tarantula, the largest of all spiders, and the larvae eventually devour the spider.

A vivid metaphor to be sure... and as chilling as the Frankenstein one:

I think a more accurate picture/notion to describe the pathological relationship between the US and Israel is "cross-manipulation"... That is, Israel and her Zionist lobby in the US manipulate the US administration as much as they are themselves manipulated by the US's religious right. Hence Israeli peaceniks' confusion when it comes to blaming their Likud regime --a country (Israel) that's so fervently supported by the US (the self-proclaimed greatest, freest country on earth) can't be THAT evil, can it? Yet, as I pointed out, the troubling, ominous truth is that, both in Europe and the US, the staunchest supporters of jackboot Israel are the far-right parties and pseudo-liberal Jews, that is, Jews who advocate liberal values at home but blindly support Israel's illiberal, religious fanaticism... go figure.
