Re: The Democrats and the Republicans are, indeed, both controlled/coerced/influenced by the same "master". Right-left separation, certainly in the US, is a myth. In fact, one can view the present leadership of the Democrats as mere Judas goats who mute any "leftist" or popular voice of the body of the party and who make sure that bipartisanship, ie submission to the will of the "master", is more important than opposition.
It's also important, however, to stress the fact that the "Israeli master" is not acting like some spellbinder who pulls the strings of the American puppet from a purely, exclusively, alien locus.... Most of the US's blind support to Israel stems from the religious brainwashing/conditioning of the American people. Somehow, that's a key difference between Europe and the US: Europeans view the whole Mideast mess as a geopolitical clash between Israeli/Jewish and Palestinian/Arab nationalisms, as a political tug-of-love over the area's material resources (ie space, water, access to the sea, demographics, etc), whereas Americans view it as a Biblical opera, a clash between God's chosen people and Satan's stooges.... That's why, as I once pointed out, European Zionism is basically a Jewish trip. You won't find many non-Jewish Europeans fanatically supporting Israel. Contrariwise, the US's biggest fan club of Israel is the evangelical crowd. The tens of millions of evangelical freaks who long for Greater Israel and the taming of its Muslim foes don't do it out of awe of the Israeli government --they do it out of obedience to God's will....
