Behind the scenes with Israel's campus lobby

[웃 910]

I have wondered why Israel was even created in the first place. Was it guilt we felt? Maybe it was more of hope all Jews would just up and move to Israel? Have no idea but after pretty much my whole life hearing and seeing about Israel's side and struggles in our media with very little views on the other side I started to seek out and find their side to try to have balance. I have learned much and more to go.

It does puzzle me that Israel's lobby is so powerful but I have learned that everything here is all about power. As usual if one follows the money then it becomes clear. The article twice mentioned that Palestine needed to group and pool their resources and start lobbying. And by lobbying I mean they need to do it the American way. Money.

In Israel, for every 59 Jews there are 16 Arabs.

There are 7.8 million people that live there...Hate to burst your bubble but 20.5% of them (over 1.6 million) are Arabic.

In the United States Jews don't even make up 2% of the population. Arabs barely make up 0.5% here.

One story I've heard on the Liberty is that it would have given a major surprise attack away had it remained afloat.

So much for Israel being the victim.

I never said they were...the world is not that black and white.
