> Al Jazeera's "The Lobby"

I hope you at least appreciate the irony of citing Qatari propaganda sources (who for example claimed that the torture, rape, mutilation and murder of Israeli women and children was not done by Hamas but by some random unrelated angry Palestinians who breached the security fence during Hamas' honorable attack) as source for Israel's shady dealings.

I'm sure it is only race-baiting to point out that when Jews engage in lobbying it is considered blackmail and bribery, but somehow non-Jews are only capable of the correct form of lobbying, of "exercising soft power" or "using trade to strengthen peaceful relations", arranging peaceful protests that demonstrate the organic will of the people and not evil protests meant to blackmail people in power.

To be extra clear, in the previous comment and in this one, I'm seriously urging you and GP to reexamine yourself and what leads you to believe that somehow country #28 in world GDP with 0.5% of global GDP is somehow able to blackmail and bribe the entire world and if maybe there's something else within you that leads you to seek out, trust and spread the belief in that claim.



I recommend Al Jazeera's "The Lobby" because it contains primary evidence from undercover journalists, notwithstanding any spin put on it by the Qatari government.

Israel may be top #28 in GDP but they are a lot higher than that in media power, Western political influence, cyberwarfare, etc. -- and AI murderbots, apparently.
