JERUSALEM—Top-ranking government officials in Jerusalem confirmed Tuesday that Israel would exercise its longstanding, constitutionally granted veto power over American policy if U.S. lawmakers confirmed retired congressman Chuck Hagel as the United States’ next Secretary of Defense.
“In light of Mr. Hagel’s worrying remarks on Israeli-Palestinian relations and questionable classification of Israeli interests as ‘the Jewish lobby,’ we consider him a highly inappropriate choice for Defense Secretary who stands far out of line with our national priorities, and therefore we are prepared to swiftly and resolutely use our official veto power over this U.S. action,” said Israeli government spokesperson Mark Regev of the legal maneuver that the small Middle Eastern nation has employed to block U.S. Cabinet nominees, U.S. legislation, U.S. international relations, and U.S. domestic policy over 1,400 times in its 64-year history.
“Because congress does not possess the necessary nine-tenths majority to override an Israeli veto, they’ll have no choice but to head back to the drawing board and provide a Defense Secretary whom we find more suitable.” Sources confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had sent the White House a list of three individuals the Israeli leader considered appropriate to head the American military from which U.S. President Barack Obama could choose.

What is sad, is how true this article actually sounds.
You know that this kind of power is what the Jews would love to be able wield over the US.

The idea has dawned on me that the Hagel hubbub is a distraction from Brennan –another one better tried and hanged than ‘promoted.’

What?
Is this a joke?
Surely, they have no real (written– surely not constitutional) veto-power over any part of our government; so they?
This sounds not only insane but whoa; the chutzbah! Insanity.

Look at what they are doijng in Greece. Local communities abandon the euro for TEM, to distance themselves from goverment.
You people in the US, need to do the same. Accept that your goverment will not change, that it has been taken over by the corporations, and just break free from it. There is no other soultion. Forget that there will ever by a president for the people.

Nobody would be shocked to find this in a western newspaper or on TV. This is too near to reality. Some people would not even realize that is ment to be satirical.
