Election power of the Israel lobby

Why lovers of Israel should vote for McCain (according to Lieberman)” “In an interview with Ha’aretz, Lieberman says he believes McCain is the candidate most likely to thwart a nuclear Iran”.

“But this is predicted upon the man’s becoming in every fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…. we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one soul [sic] loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.” - President Theodore Roosevelt, Jan. 3, 1919

Around the world there is an indoctrinated discomfort whenever any discussion of Israel, the Israel Lobby, the Holocaust, Jewish Power, and Anti-Semitism arise. This discomfort has resulted from the most sophisticated media and public relations campaign the modern world has ever experienced—silence is the norm and don’t ever forget it or else our wrath will descend upon you. Ironically despite such enormous power in the political, economic, media, movies, and academic fields in America, a narcissistic paranoia still occupies the hearts and minds of Jews, understandably after 2000 years of Christian persecution, but tragically such power and fear are the instruments Israel and its lobby utilize to silence the west as Israel comfortably commits genocide and ethnic cleansing against the entire Palestinian population. Yet, the irony is that most Jews around the world are shocked that such political and economic power and Israel’s murderous policies against the hapless trapped Palestinians would generate such an exponential rise in worldwide Anti-Semitism. Thus the logic is --leave the Palestinians to us to murder, imprison, demolish their homes and farms, shoot their children at will, but we still don’t understand why you hate us?

American Jews, fairly or unfairly, have been accused of having dual loyalty for both their adopted or birth country and a foreign nation, Israel. According to Philip Weis in his excellent blog; “The issue is a long-held concern among Jewish critics of Zionism. In 1970, a leading Jewish anti-Zionist, Rabbi Elmer Berger, learned that several Jewish Americans had served in the Israeli Defense Forces, having gained automatic citizenship in Israel. Berger worried about Jewish identity. He feared that American Jews would be called upon to define their religious identity in terms of identification with a neo-colonialist "theocratic" state that was dehumanizing Arabs. (He was right!) And he feared that American Jews would be torn in allegiance, or be seen to be torn in allegiance. (“Dual Loyalty: Why Did a Neocon Vote in Both Israel and U.S.?" January 16, 2007). More
