1. Dr. Mearsheimer: What is the Israel Lobby?

[jdbrando]

You're right, Israel receives a large amount of foreign aid. You then made another completely propgated statment that it has "more influence than all of the foreign lobbies combined," as if something like that were measureable or worth it to measure to begin with. The only relevancy to Israel to having the most "powerful lobby" is that it just shows that such a country has dedicated a lo of resources to lobbying, as if lobbying is in and of itself always something that is negative or bad.

[o0soda0o]

@jdbrando AIPAC is funded by the US foreign aid Israel receives, it then uses that funding to bribe US politicians to further Israeli interests, as well as to ensure those politicians ensure Israel continues to receive said aid money. It is a feedback loop.

Israel is the only "nation" to have any, let alone dozens of it's citizens in positions of power within the US gov't.

Israel IS, by any objective definition, an apartheid state. Such a state should NEVER receive funding.

[jdbrando]

Whether or not Israel is an apartheid state had nothing to do with the lobbying issue. What you attempted to employ was a pathetic strategy to divert attention to a separate issue while at the same time try to use it to your advantage in attacking Israel as if they are all relevant to the issue in order to bolster your completely subjective and emotional argument.

All Roads Lead to Israel

[jdbrando]

Isn't there an Irish lobby, Italian lobby, British lobby, Romanian lobby, Egyptian lobby, or for that matter, a lobby for every single group and organization in the world. Yet, the only controversial lobby is the Israel lobby. Hmmmm I wonder why...

[o0soda0o]

@jdbrando AIPAC is the only one that isn't registered as a foreign lobby, it also has more influence than all of the foreign lobbies combined. It is also funded by US taxpayers, via 3 billion dollars in foreign aid per year, more than any other country.

Israel is, objectively, also an Apartheid state.

[jdbrando]

@o0soda0o You're right, Israel receives a large amount of foreign aid. But the countries that i mentioned, like Britain, Ireland, and Italy, receive ten times more aid through NATO, the UN, IMF, World Bank, since the US funds between 35-75% of all of those organizations which European countries then lobby to receive for thier countries.

Several elected officials also are part of it including Lieberman, McCain and Waxman.

[baretta1983]

Israel is not only in fulfillment of its own politcal and global agenda but in fulfillment of a holy kabbalistic agenda. Israel is omniscient globally in that it has no borders and has infiltrated systems of governance since the very existence of settlement in the land of canaan. It is not only the land of Israel which is dominant rather the elite who work invisibly behind the scenes to manifest a global agenda.

Jews have secret meetings where we laugh when Iraqis kill each other.

[AndYourMomIsBoDerek]

jewish spy Jonathan Pollard advised the USA state department to deny all jews access to secured files because their first loyalty would always be to jewish interests. The AIPAC spies Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman skated free because the jewish money-masters have dominated USA economics and politics ever since 1913. The jews are only 3% of the USA population but make up about half of all the American billionaires.

Zionists are the chosen people... Only if they were chosen by the Devil.

[bigsoundz]

Not only did Israel steal land from Palestinians, they took represtative government from Americans through massive political bribes. Watch my video on KOSHER TAX to see how the zionist war machine steals from YOU every day.

[busapp]

He neglects the mountains of Arab money from Oil and the control of oil. Special interest groups can only hope to offset this massive power of Arab groups.

[EdugeBDroN]

@busapp yeah right , u think Arabs control their oil , they give a cut of their money to the Bush and the like , They are puppets , they have no choice , If they ever tried to say something they would become evil and be invaded like Iraq

[mochitsukiman]

Israel=parasite

[urmasterfosho]

ur mom is a parasite

[ResearchX]

Lobbying by forign entities should be outlawed. America needs to stop sending money to forign countries. The government must listen to the people.

[Plutonwolf]

Exactly! Israel is like a neck pendant made of plutonium hanging from the collective necks of Americans.

Lobbyists in general are really getting way out of hand, time to limit them way down in access and numbers. We the People are lobbyists enough, special interests are killing us by the minute.

[urmasterfosho]

what a fucking joke

[Plutonwolf]

Faceless gutless anonymous loser. Go talk shit to your whore/momma, she likes that....a lot.
