Former Congressman Traficant from Ohio was convicted for bribery.
He says he was framed and he wants to clear his name. Traficant had often been noted for speaking out for the average American in the House.
In this heated interview with Sean Hannity, Traficant says he believes Israeli "power" has been hurting America.
Traficant says that Israel controls the "Senate and the House Foreign Affairs Committee".Israel manifests "total power over the Congress of the United States," according to Traficant. He also states, "my concern is that the taxpayers and the citizens of the United States should control their government and not a foreign entity."
Taficant says he is not an anti-Semite and not against Israel. But he wants to speak the truth about what is actually going on in American government.
Strangely if you speak out against the Israeli government and their often nefarious activities you are labeled an anti-Semite. But if you speak out against the governments of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, or any other government, you are never labeled as being some sort of racist.
Being labeled an anti-Semite is the terrible price you have to pay for calling attention to Israeli actions around the world. It is a hurtful gimmick that assassinates a person's character and it is quite effective.
