As long as AIPAC the so called 800 pound Gorilla in Washington controls the Congress with money, nothing will change...

They Control America as far as political appointments go and All ME policy, period. Americans need to remove this power over us, with Campaign Finance Reform.

If you think that AIPAC controls America, surely you can list for us all the political appointments made during the current administration. I, myself, really don't know, but since you are always claiming this, I would imagine that you know all the names. By each name, could you tell us their religion and what they have done for Israel. It's strange, but I always thought that our Congressmen were voted in by the people, and they had to follow the will of the people who voted them in. Also, I might be mistaken, but aren't there several appointments being held by Muslims? Does AIPAC control these Muslims too?

I suggest you read the Walt Mearsheimer study, The Israel Lobby...As you well know Sally, I noticed this obvious money power controlling Politics long before that book was published.

Our country is Not a Democracy, it is an Oligarchy...We simply are puppets on the strings of the Oligarchs.

But, Pbel, you are taking the word of those who wrote that study. The student of one of them at Columbia said she was shocked to see him write such a report. Now naturally besides this report, you must have a list of names to give us of the political appointments since you have been obsessed with this over the years and really could care less about anything happening in the rest of the Middle East. You must know the name of each political appointment for this administration and what they have done to help Israel.

Actuially, Pbel, a long, long time ago, many people got your number. As for Sayit, he is far more intelligent than you. Now where's the list of names. I am curious as to who all these appointments are who are controlled by AIPAC.

Quote a single line from any of those reports that mandates Israel's acceptance of US foreign aid as a requisite to any US assistance to the other named nations.

Nobody's forcing or coercing the Israeli government to accept US tax-payer dollars in any way, shape, or form, nor has Israel EVER tried to pry its mouth off the US government's teat. Its special interest groups have only sought for more subversive ways to increase the flow of milk.

Not to worry, Cappy. Uncle Sugar has beaucoup greenbacks to give out.

Not to worry, Cappy. Uncle Sugar has beaucoup greenbacks to give out.

Right out of the pockets of his own unwitting citizenry, and with NO regard for just how BADLY many of those citizens are suffering and struggling just to make ends meet.

It's well past time to pick that bloated parasite in the middle east off our country's body.

Israel is more than capable of standing on its own two feet.

The Israel lobby (at times called the Zionist lobby or sometimes the Jewish lobby) is the diverse coalition of those who, as individuals and as groups, seek to influence the foreign policy of the United States in support of Zionism, Israel or the specific policies of its government.[1] The lobby consists of Jewish-American secular and religious groups. The most famous and visible group within the Israel lobby is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). AIPAC and other groups within the Israel lobby influence American public policy in a variety of ways such as through education, responding to criticism of Israel, and putting forth arguments in support of Israel. The Israel lobby is known for its success in encouraging U.S. lawmakers to support the policies that it supports, such as the right for Israel to exist, and vetoing the recognition of Palestine.

Congressmen voting the will of the people........that's the funniest thing I have read here yet!!!!

Wait, let me correct that for you.......Congressmen voting the will of the people with the biggest wallets.

There, fixed.

 

[CMike]

The much bigger question is why does the US send aid to countries and peoples that hate us, i.e. the "Palestinians", Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, etc.

There are many lobbies and AIPAC is the largest in money flow for a Foreign Power and is he biggest of contributors along with the NRA...AIPAC is a tiny in membership compared to the NRA but dwarfs it with money per capita.

Zionist lobbying in the United States aided the creation of the State of Israel in 1947-48. The preparation of and voting for the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine which preceded the Israeli Declaration of Independence, was met with an outpouring of Jewish American support and advocacy in Washington.[11] President Truman later noted, "The facts were that not only were there pressure movements around the United Nations unlike anything that had been seen there before, but that the White House, too, was subjected to a constant barrage. I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. The persistence of a few of the extreme Zionist leaders—actuated by political motives and engaging in political threats—disturbed and annoyed me."[12]

Then if you were following this before this book was published, surely you can give us a list of appointments for this current administration. You, with your "brilliant" research, must know exactly who received a political appointment and who is pushing for Israel since you are keeping track of things. It certainly would be nice if you could give the readers your list with a star against the names of those pushing for Israel.

AIPAC's Man in the Obama Camp - by Philip Giraldi

AIPAC's Man in
the Obama Camp




Barack Obama's first appointment, that of Chicago Congressman Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff, is quite frankly unsettling and suggests that voters who had hoped for real change in Washington will be disappointed. There should also be some concern on the part of Americans who believe that a close and continuing relationship with a foreign government might disqualify one for high office in the United States.

Emanuel, far from serving as a neutral gateway to the president, has some very strong views on foreign policy, particularly regarding the Middle East, views that are closer to those of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney than they are to the millions of voters who thought that Obama would put an end to "wars of choice." And Obama appears to share at least some of those views, though he might be driven primarily by unwillingness to antagonize Israel's numerous cheerleaders in the Democratic Party. During the presidential campaign Obama refused to meet with American Muslims, and on a fact-finding trip to the Middle East last summer he spent several days in Israel but only 45

 

[pbel]

Emanuel left the Clinton administration in 1998 and went to work for Bruce Wasserstein, a major Democratic donor and head of the Chicago investment bank Wasserstein Perella. He made $18 million in a little over two years. He was deliberately placed in a position where he could exploit his White House connections, which he did, to obtain a nest egg to finance his political career. In 2000 he was named by Clinton to the board of Freddie Mac, where he earned an additional $260,000 but was later criticized for not taking his oversight responsibility seriously. In 2002, he was elected to Congress, where he was noted for his ability to attract large political contributions. Emanuel soon moved into a leadership position, eventually becoming chairman of the Democratic Caucus in January 2007, the fourth-ranking Democrat in Congress.
