"I thought all my life that Israel had control over Gaza. Today, I realize Israel has control over almost all countries, except Gaza" - (Anonymous in Palestine)
*"Forget Russia, the greatest threat to America comes from Israel and the Israel Lobby (AIPAC)”* *~ Julian Assange*
He pledged allegiance to America... he was guilty of treason to Israel?
This is high treason, punishing a man for giving his view on a "country" he doesn't owe any loyalty to.
There are 197 countries in the world. We can criticize 196 of them.
There you go. More evidence of Israel being an Occupier of the USA.
This should infuriate every American
This is insane.. We are Americans why do we need to bow down to a foreign country?
Wow they even control the American military! Not just Hollywood
As a US veteran, no, I did not pledge allegiance to Israel or any other foreign government.
