Israelis Go on Offensive Against Proposed Counter-AIPAC
Reports of plans to set up a new, left-wing Jewish group seeking to lobby the U.S. government on Mideast policy have worried some in Israel, who fear it could undermine the existing pro-Israel lobby in Washington and harm Israeli security.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the key pro-Israel lobby in the U.S., says its role for more than 50 years has been “to help make Israel more secure by ensuring that American support remains strong.”
Reports have emerged over recent months about meetings between representatives of liberal Jewish groups in the U.S. to examine the possibility of forming a new lobby.
[…] Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Zalman Shoval said that the premise of the group, as it has been described, suggests it wants the U.S. administration to put pressure on Israel in order to advance the cause of peace as though there was no terrorism and no Hamas-led government in the Palestinian self-rule territories.
“This group describes itself as supportive of Israel, but it actually supports the enemies of Israel,” Shoval told Cybercast News Service.
Yeesh, don’t hold back now.
The other interviewees pronounce their expectations that the lobby will be small and ineffective.
Clearly statements from those with nothing to fear.
It’s so on.
Do we know anything about this proposed left-wing lobby other than it’s preliminary meeting a couple weeks ago?
This group isfunded by George Soros who said a few days ago,that the U.S. Govt must be de-Nazified just like Germany.Who in their right mind can take this guy seriously despite his money.LOL
Is that a joke? I take Soros very seriously. He’s funnelled bazillions of dollars into all kinds of efforts that have made a serious, positive impact on global affairs- particularly in the FSU. And the individuals they’ve assembled are an impressive and respected group.
AIPAC’s been asking for it for years. If nothing else maybe it will cause them to diversify.
No it’s no joke to Compare the U.S TO to Nazi Germany makes Soros insane. Here you can find out all about his comments.

Implicitly everyone, aipac jewschool and that new lobby, admits that american policy towards Israel depends mostly on the efforts of “The Jewish Lobby” (imagine an echo for mire effect).
