AIPAC is pushing us to war with Iran for Israel

We must not allow anyone to push us into a war with Iran.

Wesley Clark told Arianna Huffington about the push for war on Iran, "How can you talk about bombing a country when you won't even talk to them?" said Clark. "It's outrageous. We're the United States of America; we don't do that."

"When we asked him what made him so sure the Bush administration was headed in this direction, he replied: "You just have to read what's in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers.""

"For Clark, this is the biggest foreign policy issue facing the U.S. "I'm worried about the surge," he said. "But I'm worried about this even more."", Huffington wrote on her blog.

In his article, Eric Alterman warns about the push for President Bush to attack Iran. About Wesley Clark's concern that the attack is being pushed by "New York money people," Alterman writes, "I agree with Clark, but I agree that he also said what he said badly, though not anti-Semitically."

Alterman warns, "The Bush administration is clearly attempting to create a pretext to attack Iran" ... [this would result in] inciting worldwide terrorist attacks against Americans and their properties around the world, including inside the United States ... this being the Bush administration, you can count on it being done incompetently and dishonestly."

"Criticize the neocons for what they are actually doing -- or even use the word "neocon" -- and you're an anti-Semite. That means they get to keep doing it even if it means they are acting on behalf of what they believe are Israel's interests ... rather than America's."

"We saw during the Lieberman primary that The Weekly Standard actually does care more about what's good for Israel than for America -- they said American Jews should behave that way, and so do Newsweek's embarrassingly crazy Rabbi Gelman and Mona Charen and a few others. If anyone on earth thinks Marty Peretz cares more about the fate of the goyim in America than the heroes in Israel, I've never met him or her ... if you read this excellent New York Times Magazine piece on Abe Foxman, you'll get a small inkling of how the system works."

On Bloggingheads, Alterman said, "Wesley Clark, used probably some incautious language, when he said that New York money men, which many people interpret to mean Jews, were pushing us to war with Iran. However, Jews, in New York, who have a lot of money, are in fact pushing us to war with Iran. It was a factually true statement. AIPAC is pushing us to war with Iran. AIPAC is the reason that no Democrats are coming out strongly against war with Iran. AIPAC's funding is extremely wealthy American Jews and AIPAC is pushing for war with Iran. So, when people go to Democratic politicians and they say "listen, I don't want you gettin' out in front and opposing war with Iran, particularly since you have national aspirations," they don't say it in the New York Times." - Wesley Clark and the anti-Semitism charge

Israel needs to be ignored. We as Americans have become their little bitch and need to leave them alone. Even more so Israel needs to fuck off and leave us alone. They are beating the WAR DRUMS to strike Iran. Why do they need us anyway. They are already one of the most powerful military nations anyhow. Let them sort out their problems as we have enough already. And ya fuck you Israel. Stop leechin off America to do your dirty work.

You're quite right, hating Jews has nothing to do with stopping a war with Iran.

But when someone writes about the "synagogue of Satan", condemns the Talmud which is the cornerstone of Judaism and describes Israel as being "worse than Hitler" you realise that they are not really distinguishing between Jews, Zionists and Israelis - they hate them all.

Your fucked I don't even personally no any Jews so save the racist bullshit for someone else.I don't like what many do but to say I hate every Jew is stupid.If I meant a Jew and he was not a warmonger or zionist I would have no problem being his friend.You say the same things with no fact all the time.Shut the fuck up you rat piece of shit.

@jennifer32399

What you need to do is stop your ranting and raving. Just take a deep breath and say "I hate Jews". Once you've got that off your chest you'll feel a whole lot better.

It's thanks to anti-semitic vermin like you that Israel exists and will continue to exist.
