Bibi: Et Tu Brutus?
WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPI) -- When a joint session of the U.S. Congress gave Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu 29 standing ovations -- four more than U.S. President Barack Obama received for his last State of the Union message -- there was little doubt that Israel is an integral part of the American body politic. It was a hard-line speech by an Israeli on the right of the Israeli spectrum that firmly rejected Obama's proposal for Middle East peace: The pre-1967 war frontier with minor land swaps for both sides.
It was also a demonstration of why the United States cannot continue to pose as a "valid interlocutor" between Israelis and Palestinians. And why former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, D-Maine, quit as Obama's peace negotiator after two years of long-distance commuting between the Mideast and the United States.
Former six-term U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., but more recently a Green Party candidate, told Iran's "Press TV" she was required to sign, "as were all members of Congress, pledges of support for the military superiority of Israel and for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel." She also claimed her final term in Congress came to an end after the American Israel Public Affairs Committee "funneled money into the campaign of her Democratic Party primary opponent, Hank Johnson.
McKinney's interview to Press TV came on the eve of the annual AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington May 22. It was widely published over the Arab world.
AIPAC, with 100,000 members, is arguably the most powerful lobby in Washington and doesn't have to register as a foreign agent.
The joke on Capitol Hill is that Israel doesn't have to lobby because it's the 51st state. Which Arab governments assume anyway.
With the new merger of the Palestinian authority and Hamas, dedicated to the destruction of Israel, along with civil wars in Libya, Syria and Yemen, as well as the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the "Arab Spring" didn't even last till summer. Reasons enough for Netanyahu to conclude Israel has at least two more years to continue consolidating Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Complacency didn't last long. The Syrian dictatorship, after killing more than 1,000 of its own people in countrywide anti-regime, pro-democracy demonstrations, organized Palestinian refugees to mark the 44th anniversary of the Arab defeat in the Six Day War by "peacefully" penetrating Israeli defenses on the Golan Heights. Several hundred showed up and ignored Israeli warnings to back off.

The menu is full of creative small plates with funny names: A take on Caesar salad called Et Tu, Brute?, and the no-longer-available Tar-Tar Binks, a choice of steak or tuna tartare, which has gone the way of the Star Wars character it was named for.
That it finally happened is not, in retrospect, surprising at all. The risk of it happening had been there for some time, as impending and unnerving as a buzzard sitting on a New Orleans levee. There were times it seemed to be scant seconds away;
On many other vital issues, the AARP has been lethargic at best, and silent so often that one has to ask (similar to the words of Julius Caesar when his best friend Brutus stabbed him): Et tu, AARP? This is the most unkind cut of all.
What stood out at this particular gripe session, however, was that the speakers were all Democrats. As they stood on the podium in a House television studio and spoke into the cameras, these liberal members were complaining about the
