AIPAC: My Fellow Americans Let Israel Finish the Job.

My fellow Americans, Look what you've done! After warning that Israel is fighting a pivotal war for its life, the expected chorus of international condemnation of Israel's actions and Europe's call for a cease-fire immediately, only one nation in the world came out and flatly declared: Let Israel finish the job. That nation is the United States of America--and the reason it had such a clear, unambiguous view of the situation is you and the rest of America Jewry. How do we do it? The answer is decades of long hard work which never ends. Not only is it hard work--but it's eternal.

AIPAC meets with every candidate running for Congress. These candidates receive in-depth briefings to help them completely understand the complexities of Israel's predicament and that of the Middle East as a whole. We even ask each candidate to author a 'position paper' on their views of the U.S.-Israel relationship--so it's clear where they stand on the subject.

Members of Congress, staffers and administration officials have come to rely on AIPACs memos. They are very busy people and they know that they can count on AIPAC for clear-eyed analysis.. We present this information in concise form to elected officials. The information and analyzes are impeccable--after all our reputation is at stake. This results in policy and legislation that make up Israel's lifeline. Unfortunately, our work has just begun! Hizballah must be defeated. And finally, The war is a diversion"!!!! Now is the time for us, American Jews, to stand up and tell our elected officials that they must demand Iran halt its pursuit of atomic arms.

August 16, 2006, Howard Friedman, President of AIPAC, in his letter of July 30, 2006 to friends and supporters of AIPAC.

P.S. Mr. Finkelstein, it seems that Mr. Friedman would disagree with you and your fellow good-guy zionist idol Mr. Chomsky on the question of Jewish power in America. Maybe its from these Americans where you and your zionist idol Chomsky get the idea that Israel follows America's orders, and that the majority of Americans support Israel. Well damn, Mr. Finkelstein, you're right in a round about way. The majority of Americans are indeed following the marching orders of these Americans...and supporting Israel.
