suffocating

What is suffocating about the US is that there are no dissenters in the US Congress or media.  When I came to the US, there was a dozen US senators and congress people who dared criticize Israel. There are none now.  As for the Washington Post and the New York Times: they both had individuals (Anthony Lewis and Marcy Mcgrory) who would voice criticisms of Israel. There are none now.  Nicholas Kristoff is too busy rescuing native women from native men.
