Re: That's easy to pull off once one has banned the fact that Zionism is the purest form of racism in the world.

I'm not sure I would go that far... Personally, I view Zionism as merely another, belated form of colonialism --the American version of French Algeria....

As for the allegedly extraordinary power of the Israeli lobby, well, let's not forget that Israel has been supplied with nuclear know-how which, in turn, enabled her to make about 200 nukes. Now, those nukes are supposed to deter Arab/Muslim countries from attacking Israel, but the ominous, untold truth is that Israel uses her nuclear arsenal to blackmail Western countries as well! Israel's veiled threat is all too clear: don't fail us or else... bin laden might hit you with a nuclear bomb, savvy?

On the other hand, Israel's power doesn't rely entirely on terroristic blackmail: for centuries, Christianity and Islam have been at odds with each other and, as I pointed out elsewhere, History's first "Zionists" were the CATHOLIC popes, kings, princes and knights of Latin Europe who relentlessly attempted to conquer the Holy Land, sometimes successfully... It took the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and British cunning to have Western crusaders outsourcing the conquest of Jerusalem to the Jews in the early XXth century.
