YOu see two can play this game. If Ross can have a high level State Dept. position, why can't Freeman? Or is Israel's money greener or purer than Saudi's?

He appoints Samantha Power & Susan Rice to work on the mid-east situation. S.P. wrote an anti-Israel book. S.R. was let go from Kerry's campaign because of her anti-Israel remarks. These are Obama's advocate's to determine Israel's future? Obama professes to be determined to save Israel. He appoints Samantha Power & Susan Rice to work on the mid-east situation.

However Jews, Armenians, Lebanese,etc. are very successful in the money world as some kind of the servants to the Anglo-Saxon Germanic masters. We also must pay attention that 3 diverse Arab states already formed on the territory of the historic Palestine. Jews are also entitled to at least two states to accomodate their diversity in Palestine If someone bothers to check facts the US banks and finances are
