That the anti-Israel Firsters want to blame the Venezuelan operation on Israel represents a kind of watershed. It's completely ridiculous, and no attempt at an explanation is made--just assertion. It shows that what we have here is an automated reflex, a tic, that needs no
referent. This means it has always been nothing but that, well before it became obvious. This should make it easy to simply disregard the reflex--there can be no learning, and more and more people will find it comical. It's good that they've exposed themselves so quickly, and it
be good and easy to remember anyone who ever gave them a hearing. In short, just finish up the Iranian regime, ignoring the groypers, who are lost and irrelevant--yes, finishing with the regime does, in fact, help Israel, but now it's easier to say "So what?" There are signs that
Trump has shut out Carlson and marginalized those in the administration who give him a hearing--that will bear watching, but makes sense. Why in the world would Trump want to allow the influence of those who constantly and mindlessly trashing his initiatives and administration?
The same, of course, is true of the attempts to "blame" Israel for the exposure of the Somali fraud networks in MN. The sign of a disordered mind but, less psychologistically, a desperate political faction.
