But you have to understand the leverage on society entities like News Corp. have...
Look at that blogger bitch, she spends her entire miserable life shaken to bits by Islamophobia. A year ago Rachael Ray, TV personality as American as apple pie, appeared with a black and white checkered scarf, since those are anyways "all the rage" in Europe, a fashion accessory, in a Dunkin Donuts commercial. Fox News screamed TERRORISM PROMOTION, and the ads were pulled and a rabid anti-Rachael campaign conducted. Most Americans, even the backward rednecks that live in trailers are aware of the invincible grip Israel has on their society and government policy, hence any appearance of a tag clearly describing the product as "Halal" would cause a veritable eruption of mainly Jewish organized bashing.
What can Americans do? They're pretty inert and oblivious in general. When they are faced with any organized protest, any semblance of a negative public opinion (unless said opinion comes from muslims), they shrug, and cave in to demands. Frankly, I can't blame them. If you ever go there, you'll see. Every damn night there is this boring Jewish wet-blanket crying on TV for a few pennies for "homeless elderly Israelis". Despite the fact that half of these hobos are obvious alcoholic bums, the fickle American grannies end up calling the number advertised and give their money to a professional swindler. Then you have an entire arsenal of priests & pastors, and their affiliated TV channels that broadcast lurid Islamophobia, promote books filled with unfounded fear (mostly of the modern American archvillain, Iran), and spare no breath in stating the inseparable bond Christians have with the state of Israel. A lot of unbiased, mainstream thinkers find it a funny marriage of convenience, that overtly public affiliation of right-wing American "Christofascists" (To use a term notable atheist Richard Dawkins coined) with the zionist state. I understand what Israel has to gain, but knowing the nature of these pastors and their organizations, a few shitty shekels every now and then is more than enough.
