66. ADL and AIPAC
The Anti-Defamation League and America-Israel Political Action Committee does indeed set the tone for any dialogue or media coverage on the issue of Israel. AIPAC is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in DC and their power extends through the media as well. Read "They Dare to Speak Out" by former Congressman Paul Findley. He expressed a pro-Palestinian opinion in an election cycle and had the entire weight of the Zionist lobby fall behind his opponent. The media is beholden to the Zionist lobby either because of Jewish ownership or because of heavily weighted corporate directives that are pro-Israel. There's little objective debate about the issue in the US because of the Zionist lobby's interference in media and politics.
