Israel, Palestine, and the US Congress: Realities and Opportunities, Part 3

[CoQ10z]

America is owned by ZOG dogs.

[polygamous1]

WHAT RIGHT has ANY foreign nation to dictate to the american ppl or any other nation on earth? Man wake up this is Not a banana republic this is a very powerful nation israel for israelis usa for americans UK for Britain am appauled at the way usa is dictated to today n i don't want the distruction of israel after what they went through they deserve their own land to live in piece But so do others one law for all the only way forwards to real peace

[chrisdef15]

LOL Are you serious? An american crying about being dictated too? You guys think you can tell any country in the world to do what you want.

And there are already International laws genius and Israel is breaking many of them. Legally they are in the wrong and thats all that matters.

For someone who thinks they are so high and mighty you dont seem too concerned about the law.

[thatstheguy07]

Excellent video! thanks for this.

[pondman27]

I had not seen this before but it agrees with the general realisation and awakening as to the HEX placed upon us.

These cabals have got to be dismantled & disposessed of all their illegal gains. Give it back to the homeless that are stuck out in the cold this winter.

[skeebcraven]

EXCELLENT. Need to add the dangers to our democracy that occurs by special interests padding pockets of our politicians with bribes to sway their opinions. We pay them well, benefits to die for. They do not need the extra perks they sell their souls to keep. Stop the euphemistically called "campaign contributions" that are nothing but bribes. Have the government allot each qualified contender with equal amounts to run/rerun for office. America has to start coming first again!

[scanmangr]

Oh, what you excpect?

If they can, they ll do it.

As for the anti-semetic argument, what can i say? Troll argument? or argument for trolls?

To disagree with the IDEAS or the FANTASIES of someone does NOT make you racist. This is for children, not for men.

I am christian and i consider part of rabbinical judaism(talmud specially) as a work of satan. If i didnt i shouldnt be a christian.

That doesnt mean that i hate the jews, contrary

As for these lobbies, generally, are anti-democratically.

[scanmangr]

Of course there are the real anti-semitics somewhere, who they never learned that the soul has no color.

But by turning all the people who disagree with their goals(or ideas) into anti-semitics, they hide the real anti-semitics very well, so well, that i think that someone do it purposely.

Are all these irrationals?

I dont think so.

Be well.

[scanmangr]

learnt..

[cmna1234]

and btw- i sent a number of articles you should read but they got lost some where..did you get them?

[MichaelRMcCoy]

I have received no articles from you. But I can assure you - I tend to vigorously verify and document any article, essay or commentary on matters of substance.

I value objective, well-sourced material. Peer reviewed is also welcomed.

Skew, slant and self-serving tripe directed at a sixth-graders heart strings bores me silly.

(This video is a prime example)

Raping the facts tends to provoke me, (and again, this video is prime example).

Propaganda hit pieces are dismissed out of hand.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Well, I was under the impression I was responding on the commentary area for a different video, (YouTube: New Life Old Lies Anti-Semitism), which is a propaganda piece rife with disinformation and deliberately omits a vast body of contradictory evidence.

To be clear, I support, value and defend the information presented in this video, (Israel, Palestine, and the US Congress).

[cmna1234]

"skew,slant and self-serving tripe " lol,the articles you sent me are exactly that!! No, I read factual history or scientific studies..any article that denies the Holocaust and puts blames on Jews for all negative events in history is biased and flawed. do you even read articles oposing ur views?

[MichaelRMcCoy]

I examine all aspects of all such claims. I value empirical evidence, the hidden esoterics and grasp the motive(s) of the presenter. I well understand the machinery that "creates" and presents historic events and how perversions of fact are injected into the "record" - why - and by whom.

Based on your previous interpretations and assertions, I can't begin to imagine how you might assess the "factual" history that you claim to absorb and value.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Try running for any public office above the local Sherrif's office or town manager without AIPAC's approval. Speak out against anything Israeli - policies, methods, actions or agendas - and observe the results.

Your candidacy will faulter and you opponent will be swamped by money from AIPAC. Do you value your reputation? Can it withstand a thorough smearing?

Can you honestly believe that I'm making this stuff up?

Have you checked the facts?

This isn't rocket science.

[cmna1234]

Ive checked the fact, ive researched..there is some truth, yes AIPAC is strong but no it does not control everything. If a politicial does not support the right for Israel to exist they will not support him..that simple! and why should they? it goes against what they are working for but that does not mean they have full control..if that was so how could obama have won,its obvious he will put far more pressure on Israel than mccain would have.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Malarky. Obama bowed at the AIPAC alter, (paying homage at one of the largest AIPAC rallies in history), proclaiming his loyalty to Israel, on the very day that he officially secured the democratic nomination.

How comforting for you to acknowledge that AIPAC doesn't control "everything", or have "full control".

Now, that puts my mind at ease.

[cmna1234]

he needed aipac's support and the jewish vote..that does not mean he will not act differently with israel than bush did..my point is they have power but they do not have full control..other groups have power as well..if people dont like it they can start their own group, try to become as powerful and fight it..its a free country! the pal's have their own interest groups as well..they lobby..

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Sure, other groups have power - that's how American democracy has been hijacked so effectively by special interests - and size matters.

And AIPAC is the biggest, bad-ass in town, bar none. No lobby in US history controls who does and who does not achieve office as well.

Interesting indeed, especially when the American Jewish population comprises less that three percent of the overall US population.

The Palestinian lobby? Look, no offense - but now you are beginning to crack me up.

Seriously.

[karmacounselor]

WHen he says aipac influences other things than congress, i think we should consider that perhaps textbook publishers are on that list...anybody out there who could corroborate with my speculation?

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Every American needs to realize that a very small cabal of powerful, underhanded people have acquired the genuine levers of power in the United States - political, monetary and media. They can ruin careers, destroy reputations, and the ever-present threat is nothing short of blackmail. Next, every American has the right to be able to question who these people are, how long US foreign policy will blindly favor Israel and how long Americans are going to be required to suffer the consequences.

[cmna1234]

AIPAC is known to work for Israel,its no lie or conspiracy,like other groups working for a cause..I never said Israel should not be challenged or pressured into making peace or scolded for doing wrong.I dont agree with all of Israels policies,im lookin forward to seeing new leadership that pushes Israel to make some changes.Bush was the worst thing for Israel,helped the far right grow over there.but this is not what we have been discussing,ulump together Jews and zionists as all havin sam agenda

[MichaelRMcCoy]

I actually distinguish quite well between the Jews as a whole and the Zionist zealots. And most American Jews are against the Zionist agendas.

Challange Israel's policies or methods? Here in America? You really don't get it, do you?

Try criticism of AIPAC and/or Israeli agendas sometime in public, I dare you.

And whether you personally agree with Israeli policies makes no difference.

AIPAC "work for Israel"? They are the most powerful lobby in America and are dedicated to all things Israel.

[cmna1234]

what are these "zionist zealots" or" zionist agendas"? please explain? are you saying you are against a Jewish state or Jewish national Identity? what are you against? Israeli policy or government?

[MichaelRMcCoy]

I have a profound problem with very small groups of self-interested persons, (with pronounced loyalties to another nation), devising underhanded methods to manipulate and deliberately mislead unsuspecting populations in furtherance of hidden agendas. I have a problem with a foreign lobby, (with special rights), having direct control over US elected officials to the exrent that no US officeholder dares speak out about any Israeli policy or action, either here - in Israel or in Palestine.

[dellsprospects22]

we're trying boycot barcode starting in 729, too

[dellsprospects22]

i'm so glad i found this..whew..some hope..!

[dxbxyz]

The Israellobby can manipulate and intimidate US politicians because of US politicians self-centered, self-serving passionate need for political power, to the detriment of Palestinians and Ameicans.

[cobalt100]

Most Americans know that Congress has been neglecting our interests for a long time. They conduct business as usual; raiding from the SS Trust Fund and stealing money from poor people and giving it to those who have influence and power. Now wonder Congress has only a 14% approval rating.

[AngelosandSatan]

Prof. Mearsheimer is a true patriot for doing this despite he is a Realist (so those who know would expect him to defend the lobby). People like him make us to want to study International Relations and NOT Conflict Analysis and Resolution.

[AngelosandSatan]

I had the misfortune to choose GMU for a Master's and I experienced how Jewish-Zionist professors, who look only for the well-being of the Israelis in reality, use their position for creating "alliances" that will only benefit the Zionists ultimately and not the Americans or the Palestinians. Thank God for the field of IR! Bravo to Dr. Mearsheimer!

[jdial0]

He did not mention that APAC does not have to register as a foreign lobby in the US. This country is truly in their thrall. Dr. Mearsheimer is to be congratulated on his courage to speak the truth. Would that it could have much-needed effect.

[obviouslyFAKE2]

Watch this for the TRUTH. Totally damning evidence. There's no argument against it. Ordinary Americans need to put a stop to this.

[skeebcraven]

How to rid our democracy of bribes of politicians: Demand the government give each qualified candidate (no dual citizenships) equal amounts to run/rerun for office. That would save taxpayers millions in the long run. Put a stop to ALL special interest giving to the euphemistically called "campaign contributions" - bribes to buy opinions of politicians. Anyone observing for years, knows it is destroying our democracy, alienates individual voters. Obama promised to stop it. Remind him!
