“Israel’s Netanyahu brings his dirty laundry to Washington. Literally.”The Washington Post “The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean,” said one U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of a foreign leader’s visits. “After multiple trips, it became clear this was intentional.” Over the years, the Israeli leader has developed a reputation among the staff at the U.S. president’s guesthouse for bringing special cargo on his trips to Washington: bags and suitcases full of dirty laundry, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The clothes are cleaned for the prime minister free of charge by the U.S. staff, a perk that is available to all foreign leaders but sparingly taken advantage of given the short stays of busy heads of state

These Canadian Jews have restored my faith, God bless them. The United Nations, The Roman Catholic Church and many others have spoken against this genocidal and cruel Israel but it is America and NATO who tolerates this criminal brutality. In 1948 the American dominated world endorsed a Jewish world that used to exist Two Thousand Years Ago and we seemed to care not for those who had been residents of Palestina who have lived there for 2000 years. The Jews were expelled by the Romans and reading history it was for good reason and this is the glaring evil of historical revisionism.
