AIPAC is the leading Zionist lobby in the US, buying congressional support through financial largesse, intimidating any opposition and supporting a hardline Israel-first policy for the US administration. It has, however, recently run into some legal issues:
"The AIPAC espionage scandal refers to allegations that information regarding United States policy towards Iran was passed to Israel through the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Larry Franklin, a former Defence Department employee, has pled guilty to several espionage-related charges. Two former AIPAC employees have been indicted as well.
"The investigation and prosecutions, which began in 1999, have attracted attention because critics of U.S. Israeli policy have long claimed AIPAC has served as a conduit for Israel’s intelligence gathering efforts with near impunity due to its powerful connections in Washington. Franklin's indictment mentioned but did not name several foreign diplomats, widely believed to be Israeli, as being involved with his efforts."
The case has received relatively little media coverage in the US and Australia. A new piece in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs continues the investigation and reveals that AIPAC is worried its influence in Washington may be waning. Furthermore, virtually every US administration is in thrall to the Jewish state, but the Bush administration takes this love affair to new levels of incestousness.
Certain members of the Bush cabinet arguably saw their first priority as Israel, and the US second. Such attitudes helped convince key decision makers that invading Iraq would be good for Israel. Sadly, the greatest beneficiary of the war has been Iran, and now Likud wannabe, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is calling for strikes against Iran's suspected nuclear facilities.
Zionists should be very pleased with their handiwork over the last years.

Actually, ideally, a one-state solution is the most ideal model, in my view. A truly bi-national state.
However, two-states, living side by side, is the most likely outcome in the coming years. Maybe.
It's bubbling away under the surface but the cowed Western media won't be able to ignore it if it keeps going to expose the creators of the dummy intel which they used to lie us into an illegal war which has killed over a hundred thousand innocent people. Some serious shit will hit the fan then.
If it turns out Feith arranged it thru Mossad as many believe, look out. The honeymoon could well be over.
I also wonder whether the systemic intimidation and bribery of politicians practised by AIPAC had any connection to the systemic rorting and bribery of politicians conducted by Jack Abramoff, a good friend of both Feith and ex-AIPAC director Keith Weissman. Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall when they have a chinwag.
Interesting times for wingnut Zionists to be sure.
"To be an anti-Zionist, therefore, means that one is either an anti-semite or an Islamo-Nazi or both."
How hilariously clueless. So the millions of Jews who oppose the Jewish state, and the non-Jews too, are all Jew haters?
Right, now I know where I stand!
