My Senator Casey (Another Letter to Editor)
Posted by M. C. on July 23, 2011
Last December our President offered a multi-billion dollar bribe in the form of F35 aircraft to Israel to stop
building settlements. Shortly thereafter Israel announced the settlements would not stop.
I sent an email to our Senator Casey’s office asking if the bribe was still going to be paid as AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs
Committee-Israel’s lobby) has Congress in its back pocket (Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu’s words, not mine). I also
asked that while Israel has done a lot TO us what exactly, specifically has it done FOR us. This was late
December. I sent several reminders and was told twice that this was sent to the “foreign affairs expert” for a
response. Finally the week of 3 April I received a form letter reply that said “…there has been a debate to cut
funding to Israel..I support robust funding.” Casey answered none of my questions and was very late in doing so.
Probably too busy licking boots. I recently asked Casey when he would stand up to the President and ask why we
went to war in Libya without first going to Congress as the Constitution requires. Maybe I will have an answer
next fall.
