Repression in US and Israel: tail wags dog

For most of us, but especially the Baby Boomers, America has long been seen as an immutable presence, always reliably in the money (Okay; apart from the Great Depression and the more recent Crash) and the source of all the 20th Century's popular culture. That corner-stone has been chipped away as the USA keeps afloat on credit, to a great extent from China, arguably the new Top Nation which may by default thus have the last say in the future of Israel/Palestine. as there is a limit to how much cash the US can throw at its Zionist colony, and if China says 'no more credit' it could have a direct effect on Israel's military capabilities despite those exports - or because of them if the US is  a major customer. America's status takes another hard knock as the International Jewish AntiZionist Network has published a plea for support for both prisoners in Israel/Palestine, and the US. Israel is already known  to be supplying arms (tested on Gaza) to the US, which is increasingly dependent on imports, of everything from corn to cars which it spent the twentieth century exporting.
          " Israel plays a significant role", states the Network, " in the training of police forces in the United States and elsewhere in population control and Israel and the US share technologies and strategies of surveillance and repression across borders ). As people who support the liberation of all peoples, and oppose all forms of racism, it is imperative that we stand behind striking prisoners, who are willing to risk their lives organizing for their rights and dignity."
