تشاك هاغل ينفي وجود اي دليل على مناهضته لاسرائيل
Read this story in Englishاكد تشاك هاغل الذي اختاره الرئيس الاميركي باراك اوباما لتولي حقيبة الدفاع، الاثنين "دعمه الكامل" لاسرائيل بعد تعرضه لانتقادات اعضاء جمهوريين في الكونغرس على خلفية مواقف له من قضايا الشرق الاوسط.
وقال هاغل، العضو الجمهوري السابق في مجلس الشيوخ، لصحيفة محلية في نيبراسكا "ليس هناك اي دليل على انني مناهض لاسرائيل".
Very soon, the US elections will be held in Israel. Shame on all the americans who let a small country like Israel dictate to them what is acceptable or not.
They will, at the embassy for US citizens living in Israel, just like at the Lebanese Embassies around the world for the upcoming Lebanese elections. People who have not set foot in the country for 50 years will be able to vote on the political future of Lebanon. How strange and how fearsome.
Hagel is a fine man and knows what's good for America. If this causes fear to the Israelis then let it be so. It's time for the US to put the Israeli lobby in its place.
It's embarassing that israel's hold on the US is so blatant but at least it's now in the open and can't be denied. I am a little bit excited to see what's next in the US because if Hagel is regarded as not too enamored with Israel, then for Obama to choose him might mean something? Anything?
