    I agree with all of the things you said. However, Henry Kissinger was essentially the father of modern neo-conservative foreign policy, and those policies are largely what led to the manipulation of the United States government by AIPAC and the Israeli government. There are a multitude of other factors as you suggest, but don’t act for one second like Henry Kissinger wasn’t Jewish first and American second.

      I wrote exactly as I believe: Kissinger was an evil opportunistic strategist first, and a human being second. Nationalities and opportunities were just the specifics.

      And you should brush up on your history: for example, during the Yom Kippur War, Kissinger was the one pressing Israel for more concessions to the Arabs, including land, and NOT the other way around. “Jewish first and American second” was not the hard and fast rule you believe it to be.
