Discussion on US-Israel Relations and Lobbying

Found these two gems you'll want to save.

Have you seen any big great men in the Congress today?

All they're interested in is getting re elected.

When they hear a command from Israel, they jump.

And as a result, we're losing friends.

What do you mean when they hear a command from Israel, they jump?

Well, I think Israel probably has more effect on

the Congress than any country in the world, and more effect probably than

in some issues in America.

Well, Senator, that reminds me,

that hasn't been mentioned in this campaign. I know.

We've all watched

the Israeli soldiers beating up on Palestinians for the last three weeks.

Is the Israeli tail wagging the American dog?

Something's wagging the American dog.

It might be the tail, it might be the leash.

I don't know,

but they certainly run this place.

What do you think, very briefly,

the United States' policy should be toward Israel in the wake of what's going on?

I think we ought to get real tough with them, withdraw all support,

till they finally sit down.

Withdraw the three billion in aid? Yes.

You have to remember that the PLO,

in all the history of this world,

have never had a piece of land that they could call their own.

Palestinian people? That's right.

The Israelis say if you give them the land to call their own, the PLO will arrive,

they'll put up the PLO flag,

and they'll try to liberate all of Palestine,

which means the end of the Jewish state, if you do that.

I don't believe that for one minute.

I think the Jewish armed forces probably

are stronger than any combination of countries in that part of the world.

Do you share this view, Bert?

I think Senator Goldwater just put his finger right on an important point,

that there has to be something done there in mutual recognition,

for mutual security, land for peace, whatever the...

Hello, I'm Ted Pike, and this is my wife, Elaine.

Today, a foreign government, Israel,

operates the most powerful lobby in Congress.

This is AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Through control of Congress, Israel demands and

gets nearly five billion dollars annually.

No elected official dares criticize Israel for

fear the Jewish lobby will accuse him of anti Semitism,

a kiss of death for any politician.

The president also knows what Israel wants, Israel gets.

To act otherwise is political suicide.

The mass media, founded and controlled primarily by Jews,

manipulates the spigot of information out of which Heartland America drinks.

The message of this contaminated source is,

if you criticize Israel, you are anti Semitic.

Be safe, keep your head down,

or you are fair game for being knocked off by the Zionist shooting gallery.

As a result, our president and elected officials are slaves to political

correctness when it comes to Jews and Israel.

They cannot seriously criticize Israel,

especially as the source of Mideast strife and terrorism.

They cannot suggest an end of aid to Israel.

They cannot even protest Zionist control of Congress.
