In light of the news that an image of George W. Bush received a strong ovation at an AIPAC conference, and other related questions surrounding influence on Israel-related foreign policy, allow me to ask a question that will cause me to be labeled and anti-Semite, strangle in the crib any hypothetical political or pundit career I probably didn’t want anyway, and lead a secretive group of old men to send a metamorphic alien to inject me with black oil.
Why is there not even a remotely sizeable lobbying outfit devoted to less-hawkish methods of guaranteeing Israel’s security? When answering, consider that the last two Democratic Presidents (a) made substantial efforts to ensure Israel’s long-term security, and (b) presumably have some personal acquaintance with high-dollar Democratic donors who consider Israel’s long term security important, and thus might be persuaded to help fund such a group.
Discuss.
