AIPAC pushing for new Iran sanctions bill?
- Text size
April 29, 2009
Influential Israeli lobby group in the US, AIPAC is to push for a newly crafted resolution designed to choke off Iranian gas imports.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which is scheduled to hold its annual conference next week, said the introduction of a new bill against Iran’s gasoline trade on Tuesday is no coincidence.
“It’s no coincidence that the bills, which are strongly backed by AIPAC, are “dropping” into Congress for consideration this week, having 6,000 conference-goers press for their passage next Tuesday is bound to give them a turbo boost,” the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) said on Monday.
The agency, which serves Jewish newspapers and media around the world, said on Sunday that “thousands of AIPAC lobbyists” would “tumble out of buses to make sure” the bill passes.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The bill, which is slated to be introduced by Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) — an uber-Israel supporter — advocates the imposition of tough sanctions against countries that sell refined petroleum, including gasoline, to Iran.
The conference, which will see Israel’s ceremonial president, Shimon Peres representing Tel Aviv, excludes those opposed to such measures against Iran.
“Policy theorists in Washington who reject isolating Iran as counterproductive are absent from the conference schedule,” the report added.
Branded as “ the most important organization affecting America’s relationship with Israel” by the New York Times, AIPAC has been criticized for its “distorted American foreign policy in favor of Israel.”
AIPAC is a “de facto agent for a foreign government”, whose “success is due to its ability to reward legislators and congressional candidates who support its agenda, and to punish those who challenge it,” University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt from the Harvard University argue in their book: The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.
Former President Jimmy Carter has also accused AIPAC of putting enormous pressure on politicians running for office who do not share AIPAC’s goals.
In 1992, the group’s then president David Steiner was forced to resign after he was recorded boasting about his political influence in obtaining aid for Israel.
Steiner claimed to be “negotiating” with the incoming Clinton administration over who Clinton would appoint as Secretary of State and Director of the National Security Agency
AIPAC members have also been linked to espionage cases, involving their role in gathering and disclosing classified national security information to Israel.
In 2005, AIPAC policy director Steven Rosen and AIPAC senior Iran analyst Keith Weissman were indicted for passing along secret US documents to Israel in violation of the 1917 Espionage Act.

Steve Qwayle is a big fear monger. He was talking about paratroopers machine gunning people in the streets of America with no basis for that claim.
With all of the real stuff going on, why does he have to make stuff up?

Open your ears. Quayle said, if paratroopers were falling out of the sky, and there was shooting going on, onlookers would see it all and wander over to the location where the paratroopers fell wanting to see where the movie set was or apply for a job as an extra on the set. He was commenting on how we have become so polluted in our thinking that our first instinct would not be invasion but rather Hollywood movie.

… the Israeli government is placed on a pedestal [in the U.S.], and to criticize it is to be immediately dubbed anti-Semitic, as if the Palestinians were not Semitic. …
People are scared in this country [the U.S.] to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful – very powerful. Well, so what? This is God’s world. For goodness sake, this is God’s world! We live in a moral universe. The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosovic, and Idi Amin were all powerful, but in the end they bit the dust.
Injustice and oppression will never prevail. Those who are powerful have to remember the litmus test that God gives to the powerful: What is your treatment of the poor, the hungry, the voiceless? And on the basis of that, God passes judgment.

This is exactly what they did to japan. They are antagonizing the Iranians to strike the US. They are goading them into war. The sanctions will not work because russia and china will still supply Iran with all they need.

The AIPAC sure sounds like a source of power while punishing other competitors or threats by destorying ecomonimies and implementing and forcing policies through.
This wont do much to Iran, Israel cant handle a powerful neighbour who is standing up to its crap in the region, thus an attack on Iran might happen before these sanctions could take affect.

What the freak is another country telling USA what to do? They are foreign and have no business inside the USA. When are you people going to register you have been invaded from the inside out?

AIPAC should be kicked out of the united states.For being an active foreign intelligence organization.And anyone who takes money from them should go to jail.

“What reason do they have to ask us and the other organizations to disarm while the enemy is continuing to attack the Gaza Strip and is planning to occupy it? Didn’t Sharon bombard Gaza with aircraft after the withdrawal? Didn’t he put in position artillery and threaten to use it? If any of this happens, who will defend the Gaza Strip? Will it be the PA that is against any armed struggle and that has never done anything against Israeli attacks? Therefore disarming the organizations is not a possibility. If we are disarmed, how will we face Israel while it is trying to occupy the Gaza strip again?” (Mahmud al-Zahar, October 2005)

In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:

Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?”

Infowars publishes an article exposing AIPAC which is somewhat rare so they send the Jesuit people to come in and try to divert attention away from it.

You are either part of the solution or part of the problem – I didn’t see any solutions in your comment. Cooper was a good man, I am sure he had scumsuckers commenting about him as well. Go get your own show, stand in the mans shoes. When you speak on behalf of a dead man we all respected, you do a disservice to Coop.

It is ridiclous that AIPAC is still allowed to dictate policy and continue on as if nothing has happened. AIPAC AND the Jewish Agency have been caught many times in the middle of serious crimes.

It would make more sense to send the UN into Garza, open and protect the Gaza sea ports.
Then isolate the Israelis. If they resist. Annihilate them.
Leave Iran alone, but warn them if they use an atomic weapon, they will be, annihilated, without warning.
The rise of the fourth Reich, will have been controlled, Iran would think twice about becoming a problem. And out of all this Just maybe: Peace.
