Discussion on US-Israel Relations

Israel is a democracy and is our ally, right?

Yes, they are.

Explain to me what you see as, you know, why you target or why you have a grudge

against the Israelis.

The grudge

is not necessarily a grudge.

It's an objective assessment that no one will have the courage to

speak about.

This may be you don't wanna hear, I don't know, and I certainly don't wanna

hurt you on your show. You have one of the best. You're fair.

But I believe that Israel has a powerful

stranglehold on the American government.

They control both members of the House, the House and the

Senate. They have us involved in wars in

which we have little or no

interest. Our children are coming back in body bags.

Our nation is bankrupt over these wars, and if you open your mouth, you

get targeted, and if they don't beat you at the poll,

they'll put you in

prison. They're controlling much of our foreign

policy.

They're influencing much of our domestic policy.

Wolfowitz, as Undersecretary of Defense, manipulated

President Bush number two back into Iraq.

They pushed definitely, definitely to try and get Bush, before he

left, to move into Iran. We're conducting expansionist policy of

Israel, and everybody's afraid to say it.

They control much of the media. They control much of the commerce of the

country,

and they control powerfully both bodies of the

Congress. They own the Congress.

Are you an antisemite?

No, I'm not. That's exactly what they're going to say.

We have a one-sided foreign policy in the Mideast, and we've alienated

Arabs who have no way of fighting. So what they've done,

and I predicted this on

the House floor, is they would export violence to America,

and they

have. They have no other way to fight. I'm saying this to you right now.

Israel gets approximately $15 billion a year from the

American taxpayers. That 15 doll- $15 billion

is $30,000 for every man, woman, and child.

Mm.

And people in my district are losing their pension benefits.
