"Say It Ain't So, Joe? Say It Ain't So?"

 The United States if being played:  our taxpayers are cutting billion-dollar checks -- annually -- for weapons manufactured on US soil, and we have NO leverage over Bibi Netanyahu's war(s) or the conduct of the IDF soldiers whose work we are collectively funding?

Who is the Superpower here?  Is AIPAC/the Evangelical lobby really calling the shots?

NYT reports:

The U.S. will not suspend aid, for now, to Israeli military units accused of abusing Palestinians in the West Bank.

 (Have the allegedly abusive soldiers been suspended from duty/detained at least, as the investigation continues? I'm all for Due Process, but this is wartime. Chop-chop.)
