Definitely true and for sure Israel does not control the American Government or American politics.

As far as our politicians are concerned Israel is no more or less important an ally than Chile or Ghana.
Who? Hagel did and now he can't get voted in as Sec of Defense because of his " anti semitic " speech...give me a few serious politicians that do more than criticize israel and are still politicians.

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy: John J. Mearsheimer, Stephen M. Walt: 9780374531508: Amazon.com: Books

That's a great book to read. Read about the politicians that were taken out by the jewish lobby. Like Buchanan said "Capitol Hill is Israeli occupied territory."

Republicans would love this if it were true, they seem to be very upset because Obama won't kiss Netanyahu's butt.

Does anyone think Chuck Hagels comments about the "Jewish Lobby" in Washington controlling our Middle East
foreign policy has anything to do with why he was filibustered? Interesting? I think he will be the next defense secretary as who else is qualified to do anything in Washington, anyway?

I think its a HUGE part of why he was filibustered but the republicans who have come out claim its because of Benghazi something he would know nothing about since he isn't Sec of Defense yet...they are wanting answers from the wrong person and are just using that as an excuse.

It is not true. Israel votes with the US when they are before the UN nearly 100% of the time--no other nation does that. The majority of the money the US gives to Israel goes right back to the US in the purchase of goods and services from the US--to America's defense contractors. Israel is an incredible source for the US in terrorism and counter-terrorism intelligence. We have a great ally in Israel. Obama, Pelosi and Reed have all said the money to Israel is well-spent, as well as our leaders before them

Here's a couple of articles about what America gets from Israel:


F L A M E : Aid to Israel: Does the U.S. get its money's worth?


U.S. Aid to Israel: Why It’s a Must

Ignore Bill Maher, sovereign citizen.
