Look at this neocon Israel first fifth column manipulation:
More U.S. bombs hit the Middle East cauldron but NONE on Iran - more proof Biden's too scared to strike the real enemy. No wonder the murderous mullahs are laughing as brave Americans are buried

Wow, just that title is a study in pathological psychology. So who are Mark Dubowitz and David Adesnik and the Foundation for Defense of "Democracies"?
FDD was founded shortly after the September 11 attacks in 2001.[6] In the initial documents filed for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service, FDD's stated mission was to "provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America and the public's understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations".[7][verify] Later documents described its mission as "to conduct research and provide education on international terrorism and related issues".[8]
On its website, FDD describes itself as "a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) research institute focusing on national security and foreign policy" that "conducts in-depth research, produces accurate and timely analyses, identifies illicit activities, and provides policy options – all with the aim of strengthening U.S. national security and reducing or eliminating threats posed by adversaries and enemies of the United States and other free nations."[6]
John Mearsheimer in 2007, Muhammad Idrees Ahmad in 2014, and Ofira Sekiktar in 2018 have described FDD as part of the Israel lobby in the United States.[9][10][11] Sima Vaknin-Gil, director general of Israel's Ministry of Strategic Affairs, had stated that the FDD works in conjunction with the Israeli government including the ministry.[12]
