" When you have lemons, you sell lemonade." When you have a history of being slaves and victims of genocide, you market fear and hate to your own and market guilt to everyone else. That in a nutshell is AIPAC ( American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and the Jewish Lobby business model. They collect contributions from their predominantly Jewish members so they can lobby mostly non-Jewish Congressional members for their special interests mainly centered on Israel. Their greatest coup was having bought and/or politically influenced the creation of Israel by the rigged 1947 U.N. vote of the partition of historic Palestine. Since that time, the Jewish lobby has only gotten more strong and arrogant.i.e. promoted the Iraq War.
A recent example of Jewish Lobby arrogance was the maligning of Rep. Betty McCollum, D-MN. as "..supports terrorists." An AIPAC representative called Ms. McCollum's office last month and said, "On behalf of herself [AIPAC rep ], the Jewish community, AIPAC and the voters of the 4th District, Congresswoman's McCollum support for terrorists will not be tolerated" Ms. McCollum sits on the House International Relations Committee. In April she voted against H.R. 4681, " Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006". Ms. McCollum thought the bill went too far. It effectively tied the hands of the State Dept. to deal effectively with the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
" Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned." Rep. McCollum wrote a letter on April 10, 2006 to AIPAC's Executive Director Howard Kohr. She said," Until I receive a formal , written apology from your organization [AIPAC], I must inform you that AIPAC representatives are not welcome in my office or for meetings with my staff."
Bravo, Ms. McCollum.
Israel is not a quasi-51st state. America's security is more important than Israel's security.Whatever the historic problems the Jews have had from the Babylonians through the Holocaust , there is a certainity that the Jews were a part of the problem. The blame game had gotten old a long time ago. Time for a new shtick.
