The Vatican?
Actually, that’s more of a city-state than a full grown country.
But they do have that whole papal infallibility thing going.
Dick_Dastardly:
…
You’re just not allowed to have any opinion other than a solidly pro-Israel one if you’re a public figure and you don’t want to be accused of being anti-Israel or antisemitic. An even-handed viewpoint is unacceptable. It’s now at the stage where they’ve got an effective veto over American governmental appointments. They just smear anybody they don’t like till they get their way, which kind of enforces a pro-Israel orthodoxy on American government. So while the majority of Jewish-Americans might reject all this the people with the power are having more and more success at enforcing what they want on the American polity.
Further and curiously the position is underpinned by a deep anti-semitism itself, often seen here on the 'dope. The quiet attitude is that ‘of course they need our help; you cannot expect any better than barbarity from the Israelis. They are only Jews.’
Page after page of sniping is not fun.
