Reply #16: You Make It Sound Like Us Jews Are Children...

[KharmaTrain]

I not only read Paul Finley's book when it came out but interviewed him on the radio several times in the 80's. I and many other Jewish Americans are very aware of AIPAC and their attempts at influencing US foreign policy...that's what a lobby does. There are other nations that have similar operations and so be it. Want to fix the problem, then find a way to eliminate all lobbying, and I'll be with you on that.

That said, I have posted here many many times that I detest the Likud party as I do the rushpublican party in this country. I have debated many fellow Jews who believe in Israel is Likud, but that's a minority. To broadbrush all Jews as being AIPAC or that it is some sinister organization is disengenuous.

I do see what Netanyahu or Likud speaking for me or my family. AIPAC represents its own interests that may or may not coincide with the policies of the Israeli government, not the other way around. But go ahead and broadbrush...
