"Oh, come off the "dual-loyalty" thing... there are plenty of Americans other than Zionist Jews who promote the agendas of their "home countries." I don't believe in it, but look at the Irish, the Turks, the Greeks, the Arabs, etc..."

Sure, but NONE of them have the clout, participation or money that American Jews provide. Look at the pols (BOTH parties) that grovel to AIPAC to fish for funds. There are Zionist Jews embedded in American culture and around the world that are willing to do things directly against America's interest for Israel. Ask Jonathon Pollard, an Israeli hero for who's release AIPAC continually lobbies.

en.wikipedia.org
"In 1997, Fortune magazine asked Congressmen to rank the "25 most powerful" lobbying organizations in DC. In 2005, the National Journal did the same. Both times, AIPAC came in 2nd - ahead of, for instance, the AFL-CIO and the NRA, but behind the AARP[4]."

I'd say it's pretty amazing that a lobbying group for a foreign country influencing our government is ranked second among ALL the thousands of lobbying groups!

The Irish don't have religious ties to Ireland, etc. Perhaps some of the Arabs do..

I cheered for Korea against America in the World Cup, does that count?
