Zionist tears for Mubarak continue

"Aside from its unmatched power and what domestic strategists like to call a “forward-leaning” military posture, Israel has built its regional strategy on two pillars. These are alliances with Arab strongmen – pre-eminent among them Hosni Mubarak, the defenestrated Egyptian dictator – and US arms, money and diplomatic support in, for example, the UN Security Council. Washington has exercised its veto 41 times in the Council to shield Israel from condemnation for its actions in the occupied Palestinian territories or Lebanon".

PS Strongmen is a favored description for pro-US dictatorships.
