AIPAC Gets Censure, Hoots from Activists in D.C.

On Tuesday, June 3, 2008, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, (AIPAC), the cutting edge of the powerful Israel Lobby, held its annual parley in Washington, D.C. Activists were outside the downtown Convention Center expressing their strong vocal opposition to the event. Some of the AIPAC participants, like the Neocon William Kristol, want the U.S. to attack Iran. Three activists: Malachy Kilbride, Eric Andersen and Ms. Keren Batiyov shared their views with me about the AIPAC protest action, while the hooting reaction to the conference went on in the background.

It has taken 60 years for Jews as a political force to get things to where they are.

Step 1.

Bring up the horrors of the Holocaust as much as possible.

Step 2.

Make the world feel responsible for the Holocaust. Make them feel shame and guilt for their anti-semitism and the Holocaust.

Step 3.

Equate Jewish and Israel criticism as anti-semitism.

Step 4.

Make everyone PROVE support, in speech and action for Israel as evidence of not being anti-semitic.

Israel is a tiny country, American Jews are a tiny, but educated interest group who are not all in lock step with Israel.

Americans who comprise the other 99 percent of the country can end this quickly if they would vote out any politician who puts America at risk by obeying a foreign lobby.

AIPAC needs money -- to stop AIPAC don't do business with those people that give AIPAC money. AIPAC subverts the vote & power of 99% of Americans.

Look at the people in the meeting of AIPAC, because there before you is the Synagogue of Satan that Jesus spoke about. I don't usually say much about religion of any kind but these people ARE the bastard children of Satan himself and I think everyone can see it for themselves. Let's pray to God that this disease on Mankind will be wiped off the face of the earth soon, and hopefully they will suffer in the process just as they have caused the Palestinians to suffer. Bless Hamas and Hizbollah !!!
