AIPAC To Hill: Don’t Touch Israel Aid
|
Hmmmm, the Jews are usually smarter than this.
I would have expected them to accept the cuts associated with sequestration,
and making sure that everyone was told about these cuts, to undermine the
growing belief in Jewish supremacy in Washington. Then they could quietly get
measures attached to unrelated legislation restoring their funding a few
weeks down the road. To engage in this kind of overt “lobbying” on this topic is politically foolish and to be blunt, unnecessary. Organized Jewry can quite easily get whatever they want from Congress without ever saying a word in public. They essentially own most of these congressmen. I’ve thought for some time now that these overt lobbying efforts were more to maintain the appearance that the Jews were simply “Lobbying” when they are effectively RULING in DC. Perhaps that is what is going on here, but in either case, it is politically foolish. I’m not sure if this is just proof that even well organized smart people do stupid things, or if this is just more evidence of how arrogant organized Jewry has become. I will make the following prediction: “the flow of wealth from the USA to Israel will continue unabated and will not be affected by the sequestration or any other budget issues in Washington”. I know it doesn’t take a psychic to make that prediction, but its as close to a sure thing as I’ve seen lately. ----- thejewishweek.com At a time when sequestration is about to take a big bite out of the Pentagon budget, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) will be sending thousands of its citizen lobbyists to Capitol Hill next week to make sure Israel is exempted from any spending cuts. This could prove a very risky strategy at a time when millions of Americans will be feeling the bite of the sequestration debacle, from the defense budget to the school lunch program. But not aid to Israel, which will be untouched if AIPAC gets its way. This resolution could easily backfire and damage Israel far more than any cuts in its very generous grant aid program. With no agreement between the administration and Congressional Republicans by March 1, sequestration will kick in. The 13,000 expected AIPAC activists will be telling Congress not to touch Israel’s $3-billion-plus annual security assistance and to vote for legislation declaring the Jewish state a “major strategic ally.” That is a designation not enjoyed by any other nation, JTA pointed out, noting it may be a step toward the goal of some conservatives of divorcing assistance to Israel from all other foreign aid spending. AIPAC’s annual policy conference begins Sunday and culminates Tuesday with personal visits by constituents to hundreds of members of the House and Senate. They will also be urging Congress to enact more stringent sanctions on Iran and press the administration for tougher measures to thwart Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Part of that effort will be lobbying for support for a non-binding resolution urging the president to back Israel “it it is compelled to act against the Iranian nuclear threat,” JTA reported. Look for opposition in Congress from lawmakers who see this as virtually requiring the United States to surrender to Israel the decision on whether to go to war with Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will address the gathering by video link from Jerusalem where he is trying to cobble together a new government, has stressed that Iran poses the greatest existential threat to the Jewish state. That message will be delivered in person by outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Vice President Joe Biden will address the group and can be expected to stress the administration’s “rock solid” support for Israel and to reiterate its determination to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. As for the peace process with the Palestinians, never a popular topic for the group, JTA’s headline noted, “Palestinians aren’t even mentioned in agenda for confab.” Look for the usual lip service, but don’t look for any light between AIPAC and Netanyahu, as usual. http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/aipac-to-hill-dont-touch-israel-aid/

Hill: Don’t Touch Israel Aid (RumorMail)
America would not be broke if it had just those stolen funds!!!! Sequester problem solved temporarily! Israel continues to leech us and bleed us dry as we borrow more money? MADNESS!!! Why haven't our leaders cut the umbilical cord loose to Israel and told them we can't borrow more just to dole out to them? It's absolute madness. Let Israel borrow their own damned money damnit!!!! Dov Zakheim is another example of Israel's usurious attitude toward America. UGH!!!! What a bunch of scum these Israeli AIPAC leader thugs are.
