In an interview published in the September-October issue of Tikkun magazine, Moran said the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) “has pushed this war [in Iraq] from the beginning … They are so well organized, and their members are extraordinarily powerful — most of them are quite wealthy — they have been able to exert power.”

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) lashed out at fellow Democratic Rep. Jim Moran at a press conference Tuesday, criticizing the Virginian’s recent comments about a Jewish political organization.
“His remarks were factually inaccurate and recall an old canard that is not true, that the Jewish community controls the media and the Congress,” Hoyer said, even though no one had asked him about Moran’s remarks.

Uh, not so inaccurate, Sir :rolleyes: Just because you say it's inaccurate doesn't mean that it is actually inaccurate, considering the very shady business that AIPAC is in.
Let's take a look at some more info about this ZIONIST organization:
AIPAC's original name was the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs

What a surprise....:rolleyes:

Tell me, who do you think controls America's foreign policy? Is there any fucking doubt in your mind that the Zionists are the puppeteers?
David Steiner had to resign when he was tape recorded boasting about his political influence in obtaining aid for Israel. Steiner claimed that he had "met with (then Bush U.S. Secretary of State) Jim Baker and I cut a deal with him. I got, besides the $3 billion, you know they're looking for the Jewish votes, and I'll tell him whatever he wants to hear... Besides the $10 billion in loan guarantees which was a fabulous thing, $3 billion in foreign, in military aid, and I got almost a billion dollars in other goodies that people don't even know about." Steiner also claimed to be "negotiating" with the incoming Clinton administration over who Clinton would appoint as Secretary of State and Secretary of the National Security Agency. Steiner stated that AIPAC had "a dozen people in [the Clinton] campaign, in the headquarters ... in Little Rock, and they're all going to get big jobs."
Haim Katz told the Washington Times that he taped the conversation because "as someone Jewish, I am concerned when a small group has a disproportionate power. I think that hurts everyone, including Jews. If David Steiner wants to talk about the incredible, disproportionate clout AIPAC has, the public should know about it."
A Zogby poll conducted in 2004 found that 61% of respondents "strongly or somewhat agree" that AIPAC should be asked to register as a foreign agent and lose its tax exempt status, while only 12% strongly or somewhat disagree that it should.

Smiling to their faces and stabbing them from behind. What filth!
Espionage allegations
In May 2005, the Justice Department announced that Lawrence Anthony Franklin, a U.S. Air Force Reserves colonel working as a Department of Defense analyst at the Pentagon in the office of Douglas Feith, had been arrested and charged by the FBI with providing classified national defense information to Israel. The six-count criminal complaint did not identify AIPAC by name, but described a luncheon meeting in which, allegedly, Franklin disclosed top-secret information to two AIPAC officials.
In April 2005, AIPAC policy director Steven Rosen and AIPAC senior Iran analyst Keith Weissman were fired by AIPAC amid an FBI investigation into whether they passed classified U.S. information received from Franklin on to the government of Israel. They were later indicted for illegally conspiring to gather and disclose classified national security information to Israel.
In May, 2007 AIPAC agreed to pay the legal fees for Weissman's defense through appeal if necessary.
Lawrence Anthony Franklin pleaded guilty to passing government secrets to Rosen and Weissman and revealed for the first time that he also gave classified information directly to an Israeli government official in Washington. On January 20, 2006, he was sentenced to 151 months (almost 13 years) in prison and fined $10,000. As part of the plea agreement, Franklin agreed to cooperate in the larger federal investigation.
Rosen and Weissman are still awaiting trial. Trial had been scheduled for June 4, 2007, but was postponed until January 14, 2008.
!!!!!!!!!!! Several high ranking Bush administration figures who have been subpoenaed about the matter include [U]Condoleezza Rice, Richard Armitage, and William Burns amongst others !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so here's my question....Why is it soooo important that Israel exist? Other than the obvious political power...what is it about THAT region? What is it? What is it that convinces the Religious Right that Israel has a right to cause and perpetuate unrest and unspeakable suffering because of some bullshit "Chosen People" fable?
I can't help but feel that there is something else going on. Are these people direct descendants of the Anunnaki? Is there a going "home" and Jerusalem is the launch site? WTF is really going on here?
I mean, I'm at a loss. I understand the politics, and I understand the manipulation, and I understand the biblical thing, but it still doesn't add up. What is going on here?
Why do they oppress the REAL Semites, and claim to be Semites themselves when the majority of them are NOT. I don't understand. Please, someone enlighten me.
