The Israel Lobby is one of the most powerful and pervasive special interest groups in the United States. It began its activities many decades ago and played a major role in the creation of Israel.I'm not sure that AIPAC serves Israeli interests at the exclusion of US (imperial) interests simply because I think that there is a convergence of interests. I think that Israel serves the West's ruling Anglo-American ruling class as a fortress outpost in the oil rich Middle East. But, I acknowledge that a good argument can be made for Zionist interests being the dominant party as does this article. On the other hand, the fact that the US has not (yet) gone along with Israeli's insistent desire over the past decade to attack Iran suggests otherwise.
It consists of a multitude of institutions, many of them extremely well-funded, that work to influence Congress, the Presidency, academia, the media, religious institutions, and the American public on behalf of Israel. It also includes influential individuals.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
