AIPAC

Rabbi, Prominent Jews Opposed To Attack On Syria

September 9, 2013 Harel B., www.popularresistance.org , ,
“It is time for American Jews to take a stand against AIPAC, to put America first, to put peace first. “This is the time of the Jewish High Holy Days– Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, when many Jews go to synagogue, for some, the only time of year they go. “They are getting messages from their rabbis. Some are being asked to tell their congressmen to support Obama’s call for support for an attack on Syria.Others are being told the exact opposite, that an attack on Syria is a bad idea. “I’ll wrap up this piece with these words. I am a Jew and I totally oppose the attack on Syria. I also totally oppose AIPAC. I support Israel’s right to exist, but oppose many of its policies, just as I have opposed policies of the recent presidents of the United States.

Is Right Wing Israeli Lobby Trying To Hide Its Work For War In Syria?

September 3, 2013 David Weigel, www.slate.com , , ,
"One administration official, who, like others, declined to be identified discussing White House strategy, called AIPAC 'the 800-pound gorilla in the room,' and said its allies in Congress had to be saying, “If the White House is not capable of enforcing this red line” against the catastrophic use of chemical weapons, 'we’re in trouble.'" That bit in bold is absent, completely, from the NYT version. For it sins, the NYT was called out by Israel policy critic M.J. Rosenberg; for now, it hasn't explained why the grafs were cut. You could argue that the section wasn't key, I suppose, but it was more interesting than the lede news that the Syria strike plan had "tentative support of one of President Obama’s most hawkish critics, Senator John McCain." He'd been calling for this for months! The appeal to pro-Israel sentiment in this campaign is just dead-bang obvious, from John Kerry putting Assad in the same sentence as Hitler to the references to "Munich" and appeasement.
