 Isn't It About Time To Abolish The AIPAC?

By Ali Al-Hail

One presumes, as do many, that, US taxpayers, are long, made hostage at the AIPAC, and the 'Israeli' (Zionist) lobby, in the US. Their taxed money, go  to support 'Israeli' (Zionist) subjugation, and occupation, of Palestinian and Arab land, apparently, without their approval.

It seems that, many US taxpayers, are found to be 'naïve' citizens, who believe that, their taxed money, invested in strengthening US interests abroad. Noticeably, they are not aware of the fact that, their forehead sweat, funds 'Israeli' (Zionist) bully of Palestinian civilians.

It's time that, someone, at a certain point, ought to (if not must), raise their awareness of that. For; 'Israel' (The Zionist State), has made a huge damage to US reputation abroad, aided by US taxpayers' financing.

Despite all the insults, 'Israel' (The Zionist State), has long, been doing to US executive administration, including current one, still, US officials, call on US liability to defending Israel's right to defend (to offend others) itself, and to protect it. Defending 'Israel' against whom? And protecting 'Israel', as 'Israel' has allover, been potentially, under threat, and not vice versa. Now, the picture is clear, on who is the threat to the other. Especially, after the 'Israeli' (the Zionist) war on Gaza, and the deportation, and eviction of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, and occupied East Jerusalem, to Gaza, under sheer 'false' allegations.

According to Tom Carver, "…the Zionist Lobby, has a stranglehold  on  US Foreign policy" (News Night Program, BBC,  8 May, 2003.) Three years later, John Mearsheimer, and Stephen Walt, in their book "The Israeli Lobby" , (reviewed by London Review of Books, Vol.28, No. 6. 23, 23 March, 2006,) were found in a complete agreement with Carver (2003.)

According the BBC, the longstanding gadfly, Tam Dalyell, 'alleged' that Tony Blair, is "unduly influenced by what he called a cabal of Jewish advisors." (News Night Program, BBC,  8 May, 2003.)

Apparently, the US administration, as did former ones, are resiliently, persistent to defend 'Israel' (The Zionist state), and to protect it, until the very last "buck" of US taxpayers' money. US taxpayers, should unite, to urge the abolition of the AIPAC, and the 'Israeli' (Zionist) lobby, the sooner, the better.
