They pushed ittoo far. They got vainglorious and triumphalist, the tactic of smearing every critic as an anti-semite worked too well. As a result they got lazy and sloppy, started calling people like Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu “anti-semites”. When they started going that far it becomes only a matter of time before the pendulum starts to swing back.

(I praised Goldberg’s own extraordinary attack on AIPAC and other right-wing Jewish groups in the New York Times two months ago as a major advance in the ongoing battle over the media’s reflexive use of the “pro-Israel” moniker to describe such groups.)

I googled AIPAC. It says “America’s Pro-Israel Lobby” right on the homepage.

Which means we have to get rid of both political parties.

well, you can use the bath as a bidet.

why are we talking about this?

oh, I know. someone retailed that old canard that, in the wicked non-white world, people routinely wander about and socialise with excreta stuck to their fingers.

The U.S. should just wash its hands of Israel. Its the only path to strategic sanity for America. No ethnic group should ever have been allowed to have acquired such sinister dominance over American foreign policy. The USA has today adopted foreign policies that would have horrified the founding fathers. To say nothing of the imperial presidency.

they are doing an amazing job of keeping this issue out of the media. they sucessfully condemned and somehow didn’t discuss walt and mearsheimers book. i can’t explain how they did it but they did.

one sort of disturbing aspect of this particular donnybrook (we’re well past kerfuffle) is that it is being posited as a sort of battle royale between jews. this issue affects all americans, it’s not some silly little familial squabble.

Can you hear it? Can you see it coming? Anger against the Uber-Zionists is growing by the day. The pendulum swings both ways as they say, and Americans who promote the cause of a foreign nation – while their own country is already ‘at war’ at that- are traitors to America and should be treated as such.
Klein is hopefully just the first.

Oh, I don’t know. One of Geo. Washington’s 100 rules of civil behavior was to first check the chair you’re about to sit on. Apparently leaves and corn cobs left something to be desired way back when.

mr berkely- haven’t you just confirmed what i stated? and I learned it from arab muslims I know personally who rail against “splashback” inherent in wastern bathroom styles. at any rate, the point was people can be offended by things you say about them even if they are true if they are presented in an abusive or jocular manner

An American woman was being shown the amenities in a European hotel. Pointing to the bidet, she asked the manager, “What’s this for–to wash the baby in?”

“No, Madam, that’s to wash the baby out.”

Many years ago, U.S. Senator William Fulbright expressed his (unusually knowledgeable opinion)that the U.S. Congress was “Israeli occupied territory.” He was right, and I think you are far off the mark with your “Half of Congress is in the pockets of AIPAC.” It is my opinion, and is becoming clearer and clearer to knowledgeable people, that 99.99% of the U.S. Congress is either bought or terrified by the power of AIPAC.
Never in history have so many been so duped by so few.
