"Another Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel.


She said 'You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can't criticize Israel."
Sorry guys but I seriously doubt the quote at the head of this article is genuine. Firstly, no mention is made of where and when this quote was taken, who she was talking to, nothing. We have a quote at the head of the article which is then followed by a possibly more genuine story, because when they talk about the armed forces used etc. they mention where they got the information.

Secondly, no Israeli spokesman anywhere ever is going to come out in public and say what Tzipora Menache is supposed to have said whether they believe it or not. Ever.

Finally, the article doesn't even have an author- the author is named as the website. ANY journalist would want their name associated with such an incredible quote and story if they had the evidence to back it up because it would be one of the biggest stories of the decade.

In my opinion this is pure propaganda and nothing more.
