Netanyahu on TIME's list of influential people

Several things are pretty funny about this...

Netanyahu being called influential, rather than a criminal.

The title of the mini-article is "Israel's loyal servant"... written by Eric Cantor, a US Congressman and another of Israel's loyal servants.

Netanyahu's and other Israeli leaders' "oversized challenges" were mentioned without elaborating. Could he by chance be talking about maintaining a Jewish majority in a majority Arab area by any and all means necessary, even ethnic cleansing and getting people to criticize the people being "cleansed"??

On the not so funny side, Cantor used half the article as a petition to gain support for attacking Iran and support for Israel. Both things Americans need to seriously call into question and analyze with a clear head and knowledge of what has happened-- not since the last Israeli tragedy, but since 1948 and before.

Maybe someone could have convinced me Netanyahu deserved to be on this list if they had spoken honestly about his crimes and shortcomings, as we do when discussing the leadership skills of other evil dictators and people of that ilk, but I remain unconvinced by this obsequious, half blind representation.

Republicans want to cut spending? Let's do it!

It would be pretty funny if cutting funding to Israel went up as a suggestion on Eric Cantor's site. Doubt it's going to show up; there is probably a block on things "against" Israel. If you want them to follow the law, is that really "against"? Oh well.

This website allows citizens the opportunity to suggest government programs to cut. You guessed it--let's tell Congress that it's time to cut more than $3 billion in military aid for Israel's illegal military occupation of Palestinian territory. Let's force Congress to address this misuse of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

CUT ALL FUNDING TO ISRAEL! At least until they comply with international (and US) law and allow Palestinians equal rights, including right of return.
