"Amos Schocken, owner of Haaretz, writes in Israel (not here, no way) that the settler movement Gush Emunim is building an "apartheid regime" in Israel and Palestine and that it is supported by the "Jewish lobby" in the U.S. That lobby is "totally addicted" to settler policies; and this explains Obama's collapse.
In trying to understand Obama's reversal of his declaration in Cairo in 2009, Schocken does what Walter Russell Mead of the Council on Foreign Relations swears never to do; he ascribes political influence on the Democratic Party to American Jews. Mead would classify Schocken as an anti-semite for saying this."
AIPAC doesn't speak, act, bribe, bully,in the name of all American Jews. Unfortunately it does seem to be the mouthpiece of many of the richest, most influential, most powerful. Not that rich and powerful non-Jewish Americans have a problem with rabid right-wing Zionism, or so it seems to me. Think Rupert Murdoch and his propaganda machine.
