In the recent study "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy", the authors of the paper, Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard University and John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, charge that the United States has willingly set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of Israel. In addition the study accuses the pro-Israeli lobby, particularly AIPAC of manipulating the U.S. media, policing academia and silencing critics of Israel by labeling them as anti-Semitic. A new article in the New York Review of Books examines the controversial report and the reaction to it. It's called "The Storm Over the Israel Lobby." It was written by media critic Michael Massing, who joins Amy Goodman for the interview. Michael is a contributing editor of the Columbia Journalism Review and frequently writes for the New York Review of Books.

Cut the aid the USA "gives" to Israel. Let the Ashkenazis fight their own wars stealing more land without using Americans as its proxy.

Their government, through AIPAC, was caught RED HANDED trying to maneuver Congress into setting up a blockade on Iran and thus provoking confrontation and WAR. Know this: They don't give a DAMN about us and how many of us die for them. They would have us start a war that THEY WANT and sit back and LAUGH while American kids die trying to rid them of their enemy. If you ever needed proof of how evil and conniving these demons are,this is it. Read about it here: coastalpost[.]com/08/11/01[.]html

More Zionist Jew propaganda. Israel gets more US Aid than all other countries; Google US Foreign Aid and see how these Zionist Jews here are liars trying to keep the US welfare coming. Don't let the Israelis, Zionists and Jews here distract you, please contact your local, state and federal politicians in whatever country you live and demand that they don't spend YOUR tax dollars in Israel.

I notice that all the sponsors of Res 362: Robert Wexler; Henry Waxman; Jan Schakowsky; Gary Ackerman; Barney Frank are Jews, and Mike Pence the single Christian is a neo-con Zionist that received over $20 000 from the Jewish lobby. Please contact your Congressman/woman and let them know that you don't want ANY of your tax dollars going to Israel, Americans need to keep those billions at home.

AIPAC is PURE EVIL Two major lobbies managed to defeat H. Con Res.362, the antichrist AIPAC's efforts to set the stage that would trigger a war with Iran. National Iranian American Council niacouncil[.]org Friend's Committee on National Legislation fcnl[.]org Go to their site and get on their email list. Read about H. Con Res.362: coastalpost[.]com/08/11/01[.]html Congress heard us and will listen again as AIPAC has sworn to try and shove this treasonous bill through again.

To ALL decent Americans; Google US foreign aid and see that no country gets more of your money than Israel. Some sites will also show the additional amounts for weapons and "loans" that are never repaid. Please write your local,state and federal politicians to cut off the billions in welfare that the US is giving to Israel! If for no other reason than the money is needed in the States for childrens health care, creating jobs and lowering YOUR taxes! Get as many people involved as possible.

What we have here is a parasite that has disguised itself as a vital organ. The parasite has infected us with it's disease, i.e. hatred for it, and in turn we are hated also. This is the disease. The parasite tells us that we need the parasite as a vital ally against the disease, while all along, were it not for the parasite, we would not have the disease of being hated! So we continue to feed the parasite and it's disease, believing it's lies, and guess what? The disease NEVER ENDS! We feed it!

zakimar, I know its difficult to ascertain that Israel existed 20 years prior to any real US cooperation and did just fine. USAID, if you bothered to visit the site, shows that throughout the period of loans since 1948, Israel only constitutes 6% of all grants and loans minus the amount outstanding. Its never been money down the hole, as with countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Venezuela, and Egypt, which receive more for the past 5 years in aid and loans. So facts. Useless bigot.
zakimar (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
bigjelmapro; Save your lies, Israel is the ONLY country in the world that wouldn't exist if not for US welfare. Israel gets more welfare than all other countries combined when considering its population and much more than any other country period (and that's not including "loans" they never repay, and weapons. Decent people; fell free to Google US foreign aid to see the Zionist Jews for the liars they are. Also see wrmeadotcom (us aid to israel)
