"If at all possible Kerry is more pro-Israel than George W. Bush and deeply aware of the issues surrounding Middle East politics. Earlier this month, Kerry’s brother Cameron, who converted to Judaism in the early 1980s, spent six days in Israel courtesy of the American Israel Education Fund, which is linked to AIPAC. Kerry, a Catholic, only discovered his own Jewish antecedents a year ago thanks to a newspaper’s investigative reporting. His Jewish paternal grandfather Fritz Kohn changed his name to Frederick Kerry and became a convert to Christianity early last century. Kerry further came to realize that many of his relatives were Holocaust victims and that one of his ancestors may have been a Czech luminary the Rabbi Yehuda Loewe. Indeed, as Ha’aretz journalist Nathan Guttman points out, John Kerry would be perceived by Israel as possessing an automatic "right of return"." (Linda S.

It has been reported that Howard Dean's former national campaign manager, Steve Grossman, is going to "help" John Kerry's 2004 presidential election campaign. Grossman was the former head of AIPAC, the most powerful Israeli lobby in U.S. and an advocate for the War on Iraq.

"Kerry's senior foreign policy adviser is none other than James P. Rubin, Clinton's Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, an AIPAC-installed Zionist who believes UN-documented facts of Palestinian suffering under the brutal and interminable Israeli occupation are "exaggerated" and amount to self-inflicted misery, as he told Dr. Khaled M. Batarfi of Arab News in August, adequately demonstrating the difference between "liberal" Arab haters and "conservative" Arab haters is at best negligible.

Notwithstanding the wackiness of its infomercials, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews claims to have "contributed over $100 million in recent years toward Jewish immigration, resettlement and social welfare projects in Israel" (International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, "A History of Helping"), and it counts Joe Lieberman among its pitchmen:

"Guttman writes: "The Jewish community also points out that during all his years in the Senate, he [Kerry] had a ‘perfect AIPAC record’. In other words he always voted in accordance with the pro-Israel lobby on matters related to Israel and the Middle East. His supporters also mention that he has visited Israel many times, unlike Bush who came to visit only when he was a presidential candidate." Writing in the Brown Students for Israel publication Perspectives: An Israel Review, Kerry says: "My first trip to Israel made real for me all I’d believed about Israel. I was allowed to fly an air-force jet from the Ovda Airbase. It was then that Israeli insecurity about narrow borders became very real to me. In a matter of minutes, I came close to violating the airspace of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. From that moment on, I felt as Israelis do: The promise of peace must be secure before the Promised Land is secure margin of land."

"Republican members of the Senate are planning to introduce police-state- style "thought control" legislation designed to prohibit criticism of Israel on American college campuses. The third-ranking Republican member of the U.S. Senate, conservative Rick Santorum (Pa.), plans to introduce so-called "ideological diversity" legislation that would cut federal funding for thousands of American colleges and universities if those institutions are found to be permitting professors, students and student organizations to openly criticize Israel, which Santorum considers to be an act of "anti-Semitism." Santorum wants to rewrite the federal funding formula under Title IX of the Higher Education Act to include "ideological diversity" as well as sexual equality in education as a perquisite for federal funding. Joining Santorum is another Senate conservative GOP stalwart -- and a leading pro-Israel ideologue -- Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.) who has his own scheme to call for a federal commission -- critics call it a "tribunal" to be established under Title IX to "investigate" anti-Semitic incidents on American campuses."

"The Anti-Defamation League has called on the Texas Republican Party to modify its party platform calling America "a Christian nation." In a letter to Texas Republican Party officials by the Southwest Region and North Texas Regions of the Anti-Defamation League, ADL expressed concern about the party's recently adopted platform declaring the United States to be "a Christian nation" and referring to the "myth" of the separation of church and state.

American jews have a considerable amount of influence over american politics through the electoral system, the zionist lobby, and the number jews appointed to successive american administrations. However, the real source of zionist power in america is the congress. In proportion to the number of jews living in america, there is a disproportionately high number of american jews in the congress. But, much more decisively, there is a huge hinterland of congresspeople who are dependent, in one way or another, upon the zionist lobby either for campaign funds, or pacts with the zionist lobby to deliver zionist block votes, or for good publicity in the media. It is congress which gives zionists the power to challenge and defeat the president of the united states. Whatever the pressure that zionists can exert on the president through the lobby system or through the media, it is not as substantial as the pressure zionists can exert on the president through congress. It has been pointed out that, "The Israeli lobby has only ever lost once in Congress, in 1981 over the sale of AWACs fighters to Saudi Arabia, and that was by one vote."[56] The following quote, from december 2001, shows the degree of zionist unanimity there is over middle east issues in the american congress, “The campaign for an all-out attack on Iraq continues in full swing with none of the congressional opposition which marked the Gulf war a decade ago.”[57]

"The snakepit of corruption that is Washington, D.C., is writhing and roiling these days with the news that super-lobbyist and Republican fundraiser Jack Abramoff has pleaded guilty to bribery, fraud, and other charges that could embroil Capitol Hill in the biggest corruption scandal in recent memory. As many as 60 members of Congress may be implicated in the massive network of payoffs, phony nonprofit foundations, and other criminal activities up to and including murder. There is one aspect of all this, however, that is especially interesting to foreign policy aficionados, and that is Abramoff's connections to the far right wing of Israel's Likud Party, the "settler" movement, and, here in America, Israel's amen corner in the conservative movement. The fraudulently obtained money funded a paramilitary outfit based in the ultra-Orthodox settlement of Beitar Illit, a large community annexed after the '67 war and the site of renewed building in open violation of the American-sponsored "road map." The conduit for the money was one Schmuel Ben-Zvi, an old buddy of Abramoff's who, like so many Americans, was recruited into the rabidly expansionist Israeli "settler" movement. One investigator, eager to obtain information about the neocon-sponsored "Reform Party of Syria," led by one Farid Ghadry, the Syrian version of Ahmed Chalabi, stumbled on the Abramoff connection: "When repeated calls to [Ghadry's] organization went unanswered, I visited the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the RFP. Reform Party of Syria is [in] the office of 'super-Zionist' lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Middle Gate Ventures, Abramoff's 'political advisory company' partners with RFP." The Reform Party of Syria is a front organization for Israeli interests in the Levant, and is supported by an impressive constellation of neoconservative stars. Regime change, effected by a U.S. invasion and occupation of Syria and Lebanon, is the one and only item at the top of this gang's agenda, and it comes as no surprise that Abramoff's ill-gotten gains went to funding it."

"We constantly hear about Dick Cheney's ties to Halliburton and how his ex-company is making bundles off U.S. contracts in Iraq. But what we don't hear about is how Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her husband are also making tons of money off the "war on terror." The wishy-washy senator now claims Bush misled her prior to the invasion of Iraq. I don't think she's being honest with us, though. There may have been other reasons she helped sell Bush's lies. According to the Center for Public Integrity, Feinstein's husband Richard Blum has racked in millions of dollars from Perini, a civil infrastructure construction company, of which the billionaire investor wields a 75 percent voting share. In April 2003, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave $500 million to Perini to provide services for Iraq's Central Command. A month earlier in March 2003, Perini was awarded $25 million to design and construct a facility to support the Afghan National Army near Kabul. And in March 2004, Perini was awarded a hefty contract worth up to $500 million for "electrical power distribution and transmission" in southern Iraq. Feinstein, who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee as well as the Select Committee on Intelligence, is reaping the benefits of her husband's investments. The Democratic royal family recently purchased a $16.5 million mansion in the flush Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. It's a disgusting display of war profiteering, and just like Cheney, the leading Democrat should be called out for her offense."

McKinney's remarks were contrary to the goals of the American Israel Political Action Committee - the pro-Israel lobby - and a group of influential individuals called neo-conservatives that include William Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, Michael Ledeen and Richard Perl."

According to will hutton, “George Bush is under siege from the ascendant conservative right. Last week's open letter from 41 conservative foreign policy experts, including Richard Perle, chairman of the Defence Policy Board, defines the argument. They want to build on Bush's commitment in his speech to Congress that 'our war on terror begins with al-Qaeda but will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated'. This, say the 41, as a minimum should include hezbollah, retaliation against Syria and Iran if they refuse to cut their ties, and military invasion of Iraq. Others call for unilateral attacks on terrorist cells in Sudan, Libya, Iran and Egypt.”[65] None of these countries are enemies of america - but all of them are enemies of the zionist state in palestine.

Jeffrey blankfort highlights how zionists have corrupted the american military, "It is JINSA's second mandate that demands our attention. "Under a program called ‘Send a General to Israel,' hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax-deductible contributions bankroll an annual tour of Israel by retired U.S. generals and admirals."[54] Judging from a look at JINSA's board of advisers, at least 25 of these ex-generals and retired admirals have subsequently been recruited into the organization, as have executives from a number of the major arms manufacturers."

This is another area where zionists exert considerable influence over the american political process. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the major electoral battle between the republicans and the democrats was fought, in the former case, by rich, white, middle class, christian, right wingers and, in the latter case, by a rainbow coalition of rich white middle class liberals, middle class blacks, and jews. This was a battle not merely between one part of the middle class and another part (the working classes and the underclasses rarely bother to vote) but between, on the one side, wasps (white, anglo-saxon and protestant) and, on the other side, other races, creeds, and colours - a situation not entirely different from that in brutland. Zionists provided the democratic party with over 60% of its funding.

"American liberals have long supported Israel as a refuge for persecuted Jews and have championed the country’s democratic institutions (for its Jewish citizens). Historically these liberals, bolstered by the disproportionate political influence of Zionist Jews within the party, prompted Democrats to adopt a hard line toward Palestinians and other Arabs. Though more hawkish on most foreign policy issues, Republicans traditionally took a somewhat more moderate stance partly due to the party’s ties to the oil industry and in part because of GOP concern that too much support for Israel could lead Arab nationalists toward a pro-Soviet or - in more recent years - a pro-Islamist orientation. But this alignment has shifted, thanks to the influence of the Christian Right. Though Christian fundamentalist support for Israel dates back many years, only recently has it become one of the movement’s major issues." (Stephen Zunes ‘The Influence of the Christian Right on U.S. Middle East Policy’ Foreign Policy In Focus www.fpif.org June 2004).

"In its January 24, 2004 issue, the Dallas Jewish Week reported that in a January 2004 speech at the Dallas Jewish Federation's 2004 Men's Event in Texas (which raised $1.37 million) Republican Jewish Coalition Board Member Ari Fleischer told the audience: "It is terribly important for Israel to have throughout American political parties, strong support, in the most liberal wings of the Democratic Party and the most conservative wings of the Republican Party. This is good for Israel." (Bob Feldman The Electronic Intifada ‘The Republican Jewish Coalition and the pro-Israel Lobby’ http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article3628.shtml February 21st 2005).

"Among our governing elites, this Judeo-centric worldview is so prevalent that the failure to pledge unconditional allegiance to Israel virtually assures political oblivion. Recall what happened to Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean when he expressed a desire for more "even-handedness" and balance in U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East: his candidacy almost immediately imploded. House Democrats Jim Moran, Cynthia McKinney, Earl Hilliard and others have all paid a similarly heavy price for arousing the wrath of the pro-Israel lobby. Republicans, too, face similar pressures. Former Congressman Paul Findlay (R-IL) - another causality of the Israeli lobby - has written extensively on this subject. And remember that Bush Sr. - who was viewed by many in the Jewish community as "hostile to Israel" - failed in his bid for reelection in 1992, in no small part due to the tireless efforts of the ‘Israel First’ crowd. Hyper-Zionist, neo-conservative Bush Jr. has learned his lesson well. Insiders claim that in today’s highly managed political party apparatus, party bosses customarily weed out candidates for elected office by the time they reach the level of a ‘county commissioner’ if their commitment to Israel is suspect. Israel’s unique policy of flying in elected American officials for all-expense-paid junkets to the Jewish State is just one way that they indoctrinate our representatives and gauge their Zionist bona fides. In the words of former Congressman Findlay, "the Israelis never sleep"."

It also provides a study program in Israel for cadets and midshipmen from the Naval Academy, West Point and the Air Force Academy, from whose ranks will come the next generation of generals and admirals. It should be noted that both of these programs are in keeping with the practice of Jewish organizations and federations across the country that routinely send public officials, such as mayors, supervisors, city councilors, police chiefs, etc. - the pool from which future members of Congress are likely to arise - on all-expense paid trips to Israel, thereby virtually assuring their support for the Jewish state in the future.

In 2000, with his eye on the New Jersey statehouse, Mayor McGreevey joined a large delegation of New Jersey Jewish supporters in a political "mega pilgrimage" to Israel, where he met Golan Cipel, said to be a tour guide/information officer for the mayor of the Tel Aviv suburb of Rishon Le-Zion, the first Zionist settlement in Palestine. However, Cipel had previously been the press secretary for the Israeli consulate general in New York City. In 1999, Cipel, who is now being described as a one-time low-level Israeli government employee in New York and a "poet," gave a speech on behalf of the Israeli government at a meeting at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Madison Avenue offices on some very high profile issues, including the implications of the recent death of King Hussein of Jordan, the upcoming Israeli elections, and the peace process with the Palestinian Authority. Cipel was also a former Israeli naval officer, leaving the service with the rank of lieutenant. How a person goes from an influential position with one of the most important Israeli diplomatic missions abroad to a mere Jerusalem area tour guide seems, on the surface, extraordinary. But in the world of intelligence, such career changes are driven by political necessity, not by choice. McGreevey's admitted lifelong homosexuality also made him a likely target for an intelligence approach ... After McGreevey returned to New Jersey from Israel, Cipel also moved to Iselin, New Jersey and was hired by a billionaire Florham Park land developer and Democratic fundraiser named Charles Kushner, an individual who became the source for $250,000 for McGreevey's campaign for the governor's mansion. After McGreevey was sworn in as governor, he named Kushner to the board of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the original owners of the World Trade Center. Kushner was recently indicted on federal charges of corruption involving a land deal and illegal campaign contributions. Soon after McGreevey announced his candidacy for the governorship, Cipel became one of his campaign advisers. After McGreevey's election, Cipel was named homeland security director for New Jersey, a $110,000 per year job. After both Republican and Democratic New Jersey legislators complained about Cipel's lack of qualifications and the Federal government refused to grant him a security clearance because he was not a U.S. citizen, the Israeli national left his position as homeland security czar and took up his previous campaign job as McGreevey's Jewish affairs adviser and special counsel at the same $110,000 salary. Inexplicably, Cipel maintained a staff of three assistants for a staff job that had no real responsibilities. In August 2002, Cipel helped arrange for a trip by McGreevey to Israel. On August 4, the Asbury Park Press's investigative reporter, Sandy McClure, ran a damaging expose of Cipel's secretive position in the McGreevey administration. The August 11, 2002 edition of the Asbury Park Press reported that after McClure's piece ran, Cipel became "uncloseted." McGreevey's trip to Israel was hurriedly canceled after the Cipel expose ran in the Asbury Park paper." (Wayne Madsen CounterPunch ‘An Israeli/Rove Connection?

.. "the New Jersey-Israel Commission, an entity created in 1989 to science and technology trade between Israel and New Jersey and which maintains an office in Raanana, Israel. Eventually, Andrea Yonah, an Israeli-U.S. citizen who was raised in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, but studied and worked in Israel for a number of years, was named to head the commission at an undisclosed salary. Yonah had been product marketing director for Princeton eCom, a software company that provides billing software for various Fortune 500 companies, including telecommunications firms like AT&T. During a 2000-2001 Drug Enforcement Administration investigation of Israeli art students who were working illegally in the United States and who were suspected of being espionage agents, links were discovered between them and Israeli companies that also provided billing and other services for telecommunications companies, including AMDOCS -- which had a relationship with Nextel -- and Comverse Infosys."

"While not officially part of the lobby, since the establishment of Israel in 1948, the AFL-CIO has been one of its most solid cornerstones. It has provided millions of dollars for pro-Israel Democrats; it has blocked all international efforts to punish Israel for its exploitation and abuse of Palestinian workers, and it has encouraged its member unions to invest millions of dollars of their pension funds in State of Israel Bonds, thereby linking their members' retirement to the health of the Israeli economy. Over the past year, the lobby has cemented ties with the Christian evangelical right, which gives it clout in states where there are few Jews and access to hundreds of thousands of new donors to Israel's cause."
