Those who want to lobby the US government to abandon Israel are free to do so. Elroy, you are naive. Whomever lobbies against Israel is call a "JEW HATER" and will be accused of hate crimes.

Baloney. Rightwing Israelis expect the USA to do their dirty work. Why should Americans fight and die for Israel when Israel is pushing around our politicos to our disadvantage. The lying, cheating, war-mongering, killing and dying on behalf of the Saudis, the oil barons, the Israelis is costing the USA dearly and gaining us nothing but future misery. It's time for the West to cut the strings to the entire ME and let the chips fall where they may. The West has done nothing but a ham-handed job there anyway so it's time to give the people there the opportunity to sink or swim as they may. ----------- "The Economist magazine, in a piece reprinted in the Toronto Star, noted that Franklin worked for two of the leading advocates of "regime change" in Iran: Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, and Douglas J. Feith, the undersecretary for policy. "Is there a 'rogue' operation in the administration waging an internal struggle over this policy?" The Economist asked. "If so, is it possible that Franklin's bosses at the Pentagon sent him to get input from the Israelis and the AIPAC to back up their policy position on Iran?" In the view of Ze'ev Schiff, national security correspondent for the Israeli daily Haaretz, the AIPAC probe is part of the CIA's effort to wrest control of Middle East policy from the pro-Israeli officials at the Pentagon." washingtonpost.com
