Why Does the US Continue to Grovel to Israel?
Robert Fisk | counterpunch.org | 2019-04-01

Having given its blessing to all Jerusalem as Israeli property and having now handed Golan to Israel as a possession — for "to annex" means "to take possession", does it not? — Donald Trump has undermined the entire foundation of "land for peace" enshrined in Security Coun…
