montelatici, et al,
You annoy me sometimes.

I understand this distinction just fine. I see AIPAC as an American organization that furthers the cause of the American-Israeli relationship; Americans lobbying on behalf of a cause as great as our own, for the protection and support of another culture.

But this is something different. You are using the "Firster" slogan as if it is unpatriotic to promote the idea that it is a worthy cause to defend the protection and preservation of the Jewish Culture in Israel. I don't see that everything has to be about US (America and its cause); rather than leaving room to support other just causes. This slur is a veiled attempt at trying to make it appear that if you support Israel, you are unAmerican. When in fact, it is much more likely that if you support the HAMAS Cohort, or the aggregate Hostile Arab Palestinian, you are supporting enemies of the state.
I am for America, I support and defend her Constitution; but in doing so, I don't do it to the exclusion of all other causes (great and small).
You should be careful to recognize that your brand of support is not the only brand of support. You may want to support and defend the cause of HAMAS --- the Palestinian Islamic Jihad --- the Izz ad-din al-Qassam Brigade, etc; but there are others out there that think somewhat differently. Many that see what they are, what they stand for, and the methods they us to further their agenda are neither sound nor valid. They are terrorists. You may want to support terrorism --- but I'm sure you won't mind if I oppose their intimidation tactics. In fact, as the very America Firster and Patriot that you are, I think you would encourage those of us that see the threat potential of the HAMAS Cohort to speak our mind.
Most Respectfully,
R;

I take it you don't get the difference between lobbying for a U.S. organization to get decisions that favor that organization and lobbying for a foreign country.

You Israel Firsters are truly a ridiculous bunch.
