AIPAC
AIPAC, or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, describes itself as the most important organization affecting the U.S. relationship with Israel. With a budget of $65 million, and membership now standing at over 100,000, it is no wonder that congressional staffers consider it one of the most powerful and effective lobbies on Capitol Hill. Including AIPAC's support for U.S. military aid to Israel, which amounts to over $3 billion per year.
It is widely acknowledged that the reps and senators are ticked at AIPAC, and their hostility seems to be growing these days. With upwards of 60% of their campaign contributions coming directly or indirectly from the Israel Lobby.
In the Occupied Territories, what Israel is doing is much worse than apartheid. 'Apartheid' you mean South African-style apartheid. What’s happening in the Occupied Territories is much worse. The Israeli relationship to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories is totally different. They just don’t want them. They want them out, or at least in prison. The Israeli settlements are expanding and flourishing. More and more people are moving into the West Bank.
Because Palestinians territories patience has reached its limits with Israeli refusal to abide by the unenforced UN Resolution No.242 in which virtually the whole world, including America, agreed that Israel should withdraw from Palestinians territories lands. America will be left standing alone with her powerful hand caught painfully in an Israeli trap, only to be destroyed by her own foolishness!
