I disagree with your assessment of AIPAC’s power and AIPAC’s hubris. If they weren’t acting on the interests of Big Oil and arms dealers, they wouldn’t be getting the time of day in Congress. AIPAC is a bunch of pawns who are too stupid to see that they are being played.

Just to add a bit of a plug. You can help organize opposition to the Lobby for War and Occupation by going to http://stopaipac.org. Together we can create a movement that supports an alternative foreign policy that supports international law, human rights, peaceful resolution of conflicts, universal nuclear disarmament.

This story could be entitled “When Bad Lobbys happen to otherwise good politicians”. It was in May when this resolution came to the House floor, pushed by the thousands of members of the pro-war lobby AIPAC, that made 362 their legislative priority. We need to challenge and protest this lobby just as we do the lobby for Big Oil and those lobbies that oppose universal non-profit health care. This lobby, along with their sister lobby Christians United for Israel (CUFI), fight for extremist right-wing policies that threaten all the people of the Middle East, and the planet. To call AIPAC “pro-Israel” is really a bad joke. Something akin to calling Dick Cheney “pro-American”. It is supporting policies that threaten all of us.

That legislation is dangerous and irresponsible. How can we sustain another war without instituting the draft and moving our economy into a depression?
