This move by Google will further strengthen the hold that Israel has over the US. The Israeli tail is already wagging the US dog. Support for free speech, justice, and human rights is under severe attack in the US. Just look at what is happening at many of our prestigious universities: it has become a crime to support the human rights of Palestinians.

Excellent piece of reporting, Murtaza. What this reveals are two key points:

1. Silicon Valley multinational corporations have no ethical/moral compass at all. Nor do they have loyalty to the United States -- or any other nation. They are drawn to profit-making like a moth to a flame. Shameless automatons masquerading as human beings.

2. Israel now has the United States in its grip -- to use Taibbi's famous metaphor, Israel is "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of America, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells of money" -- or reeks of an anti-Israel ethos.

Scary, creepy times we're living in.
