I was in Zürich today, and showed Cotton's "Iranians occupy Tehran" remark to a Swiss friend who now spend a lot of his time in the USA.
He remarked, "What will your Republicans say about us when they find out that we have been occupying Bern for centuries?"

Op-ed calls on Israel to nuke Germany, Iran
20-30 nuclear bombs will assure the job gets done, opinion piece on right-wing Israel National News site says
BY TIMES OF ISRAEL STAFF - March 11, 2015
Right-wing media outlet Israel National News published an opinion piece Tuesday calling on Israel to launch nuclear bombs at Iran and Germany, only days after the outlet came under fire for publishing a piece accusing a war widow of killing her husband over her pro-peace views
In the opinion article published Tuesday, the author claims that only through nuclear annihilation of Iran and Germany, with 20 or 30 nuclear bombs each, can Israelis prevent the states destruction...
To combat this Israel must respond in kind, Ben-Eliyahu declared. To an existential threat we must respond with an existential threat, he wrote, not with speeches in Congress. We must make it clear to the Iranians that Israel will wipe out their nuclear program and Tehran and Isfahan as well...
When the Messiah comes, Ben-Eliyahu wrote, Israel will reverse the Final Solution. Twenty, thirty atomic bombs on Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Nuremberg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Dresden, Dortmund and so on to assure the job gets done. And the land will be quiet for a thousand years, he wrote.

On the way home from doing a few errands today, I saw a pickup with bumper stickers, a workman's truck. The one that stood out was blue with a Star of David and this script:
STOP TERRORISM
SUPPORT ISRAEL
Is there literally some kind of special service that Israel currently performs for the West or the USA that explains the relationship on a secular level? I find it hard to believe, despite what is fed the masses, that it's all about religion.
Looking forward to your insight.
