Israel lobby presses Congress to soften Obama's tough stance on Netanyahu
from the Guardian. The power of the pro-Israel lobby in the US never ceases to amaze me--apparently 3/4 of our representatives are controlled by this lobby. Why don't we just admit Israel as a 51st state? But then they would have only two Senators and a few House of Representatives. This way they control most of Congress. No wonder that the annual 3.5 billion tax dollars go to Israel without the slightest debate! What a contrast to what happens when the American people after dreaming for decades for a universal health care system, get the present health care bill's gift to the insurance industry.
