I enjoyed reading Linda Heard’s article “Widening cracks in US-Israeli relations” (May 13). I totally agree with the views of the writer. Linda Heard and Robert Fisk are two journalists whose articles I never fail to read. Both of them have been stationed in the region for a long time and they are fully aware of the ground realities.

However, I miss Robert Fisk very much in Arab News. I liked the illustration used with Linda Heard’s article showing tentacles of an octopus that has gripped the US administration, each tentacle representing a powerful Zionist organization in the United States.

The article reminded me of the defeat of diehard Zionist supporter Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential elections. He was so openly supporting the Zionist regime that he never failed to mention Israel in his speeches during his election campaign. His words still reverberate in my ears:

“My first country to visit as the president of (the) United States of America will be Israel.” I wonder whether he visited the Zionist state after his humiliating defeat.
