The Threat of the pro-Israeli Zionist Lobbies

THE TROJAN HORSE STRATEGY

In recent times, has opened the United States an intense debate at the highest academic level and in high political circles, about the serious threat posed by powerful organizations influence, shock pressure and pro-Israeli and pro-Zionist for the interests of the Nation. The debate has become particularly intense following the debacle of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; corresponding dramatic fall of the prestige and credibility of U.S. foreign policy to the world; and the high probability of imminent major military assault against Iran and Syria, among other Middle Eastern countries.

The debate on the excessive influence of Zionism and the State of Israel on the United States includes the prestigious universities of Harvard and Chicago; and political figures like former President Jimmy Carter, his former national security adviser and ideologue of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Congressmen Ron Paul, and the U.S. member of the UN team that looked for nonexistent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq Saddam Hussein, Scott Ritter.

Lobbyists or “lobbyists” Zionist and pro-Israel work internationally and form a dense network of organizations that operate primarily in the United States, the UK, European Union, State of Israel itself and, Also, in some countries of our region, notably in Argentina.

Graphic Translator clearly believes that addressing this issue is a matter of utmost importance for Argentina, given that the current government have made commitments Kirchner secrets from eight of the most powerful pro-Israeli Zionist organizations, during a secret meeting held with the top leaders of the same in the City of New York last 22 September, attended the first lady / citizen and senator (Sample. Bs. As.) Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Chancellor, Jorge Triana, and President Nestor Kirchner. According to Rabbi Israel Singer, president of one of these Zionist organizations – World Jewish Congress / World Jewish Congress – and immediate subsequent public accusations made by prosecutors and Martinez Burgos Nisman, Judge Canicoba Corral and the Kirchner government itself, high against Iranian government figures making them responsible for the bombing of the AMIA headquarters in July-CS 1994, represents “fulfillment” by Kirchner's “commitment” during that secret meeting.

the past 16 November, el MSRA – Movimiento por la Segunda República Argentina – issued a “Open Letter” President Kirchner requesting clarification on whether, Indeed, existed such “commitment” their part by forcing the judiciary to launch such accusations against Iran based on “Intelligence” provided by the intelligence services of Israel and the United States (see Press Release No. 11 del MSRA). As expected, President never said…

Today, as a contribution to the debate that we must urgently start in our country on this complex issue, Graphic Translator today presents some key concepts in an important and widely documented report published just over a year by Harvard University, that describes the excessive power exercised over the U.S. Zionism.

We invite especially the Jewish community living in our country, to make public their opinions and help clarify the serious facts stated in this report from Harvard. turn, invite all our readers to evaluate this report with an open mind, because if Harvard says the Report, Zionism has succeeded in exercising such power over the greatest power in the world like the United States, then surely it will be much easier to carry similar or greater power and control over public affairs in Argentina.

Keep in mind that the three major Zionist organizations operating in Argentina – AMIA (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina), Daia (Delegation of Israeli Associations Argentina) y OSA (Argentina Zionist Organization) – are systematically aligned with the State of Israel and its interests, while integrated into a powerful global network of Zionist organizations. For example, We note that the official site of the American Zionist organizations – el American Jewish Committee (AJC – www.ajc.org – American Jewish Organization) – AMIA is described as one of its “international partners”, clarifying that “in December 1998 the American Jewish Committee and the AMIA were integrated into a cooperative relationship to promote the interests of the Jewish communities of Argentina and the United States, as well as the Jewish people in general. & #8221;

Commenting on this link between the AJC and AMIA, AJC Executive Director, David A Harris manifestó que “We are pleased to have formed a partnership with the AMIA, allowing us to work even more closely with one of the most important communities in the world juidías. We are two organizations that maintain a substantial congruence between our missions and programmatic approaches, and we note with great anticipation our collaborative efforts and the contribution we can make to the welfare of our respective jurisdictions and for world Jewry”. Then the AJC said that his mission includes “Protecting the welfare and safety of Jews in the United States, in Israel and around the world…. deepening the ties between American Jews and Israelis”.

In a conceptually symmetrical, among the seven stated objectives of the AMIA (www.amia.org.ar), the third indicates: “Deepen the bond with Israel and ties with other Jewish communities around the world. & #8221; Among the five points of the CS Mission (www.daia.org.ar), indicated, “The task of the CS is essentially political and educational for which management conducts its interaction with all government and all sectors of society Argentina, as well as through relationships with other communities and / or representative bodies of world Jewry, emphasizing the links with the State of Israel, confirming its status as a spiritual center of Jewish life. & #8221; (emphasis added).

THE ISRAELI LOBBY AND U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
Here are some direct quotations from the report. Our comments are in italics. All the highlights are our:
The U.S. foreign policy influence events in all corners of the world. Nowhere is this more true than in the Middle East, a region of recurring instability and enormous strategic importance. …The Bush administration's attempt to transform the region into a community of democracies has helped generate a powerful insurgency in Iraq, a sharp increase in world oil prices, and terrorist attacks in Madrid, London and Amman.
Having so much at stake, all countries need to understand what are the forces that energize U.S. policies in the Middle Oeriente.
The U.S. national interest should be the primary objective of foreign policy estadouidense. Over the last decades, However, and especially since the Six Day War of 1967, the central objective of U.S. policy in the Middle East has been its relationship with Israel. A combination of unconditional U.S. support for Israel and a complementary effort to spread democracy in the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic public opinion, while U.S. security breached.
This situation has no parallel in U.S. political history. Why U.S. is willing to put aside their own national security to promote the interests of another State?
One might assume that there are shared strategic interests between the two countries or a moral imperative. However, as we will show in this report, none of these explanations seem to justify the exceptional level of material and diplomatic support the U.S. gives Israel.
actually, general dynamics of U.S. politics in the region, is due almost entirely to U.S. domestic politics, especially the activities of “Israel lobby”. …No lobby has managed to never bend U.S. foreign policy in a manner so far from what appears to be the real U.S. national interest …
Both Americans and other people need to understand and address the problem of the influence of the Lobby (Israel) U.S. Policy.

THE GREAT BENEFACTOR
From the War (de Yom Kippur) October 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support provided to infinitely greater than any other state.
From 1976, direct U.S. aid to Israel exceeds 140.000 million. Israel receives about 3.000 billion annually in direct assistance (or, 20% of all proposed U.S. foreign assistance).
In per capita terms, U.S. gives every Israeli citizen to a direct subsidy 500 per year. above, …Israel received this money at the beginning of each year the U.S. government (cuotras rather than quarterly as with other countries), allowing you to invest these funds and receive additional income….
Israel can use roughly 25% of these assistance funds to subsidize its own defense industry.
Israel is the only country thus benefited, not accountable on how they spend this money, making it virtually impossible to prevent it being used…. For settlement construction (Israeli settlers) in the West Bank (that is on Palestinian land, displacing the Palestinian people).
U.S. gives Israel about 3.000 million dollars annually to develop weapons systems… and gives access to the most sophisticated weapons estadounideneses, such as Blackhawk helicopters and fighter-bombers F16.
U.S. gives Israel access to intelligence that does not provide it to their own allies in NATO, while looking the other way regarding the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Israel.
turn, Washington provides a consistent diplomatic cover to Israel. From 1982, U.S. has vetoed 32 Security Council resolutions of the United Nations condemning Israel's behavior… It also has blocked every effort of the Arab nations to put the issue of nuclear arsenals of Israel in the agenda of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The U.S. has always come to Israel's aid in times of war, while always takes sides with Israel to negotiate any peace agreement….
It is difficult to identify any other instance in history where a country has a similar level to another material and diplomatic support, for a period as large. In short, U.S. support for Israel is unique in history.

Israel: LOAD FOR UNITED STATES STRATEGIC
According to AIPAC – American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Committee American Israel Public Affairs) – “U.S. and Israel have formed a unique partnership to address growing strategic threats in the Middle East.. This cooperative effort provides benefits for the U.S. and Israel”. This concept forms an order of faith among supporters of Israel and Israeli politicians routinely invoked by, and pro-Israel U.S..
The U.S. decision to provide military support to Israel during the war emergency in October 1973 by 2.200 million dollar shot the OPEC oil embargo that very significantly damaged the economies of Western countries.
Hamas and Hezbollah are not a threat to the United States unless the U.S. intervenes against them directly, as happened in Lebanon in 1982. Palestinian terrorism does not generate or indiscriminate violence against Israel “West”; is largely a response to Israel's prolonged campaign to colonize the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Saying that Israel and America are united with a shared terrorist threat means taking the causal relationship of the facts upside down: actually, The U.S. has a terrorism problem in large measure because it is so closely allied with Israel.
Israel's nuclear arsenal is one reason why your neighbors want to have nuclear weapons. States threaten to impose such a “regime change” It builds does nothing but this desire (to have nuclear weapons).
In April 2004, 52 former British diplomats sent a letter to Prime Minister Tony Blair saying that the conflict between Israel and Palestine had “poisoned the relations between the West and the Islamic and Arab worlds”, and warned him that the policies of Bush and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon were “unilateral and illegal”. In May 2004, about 50 retired U.S. diplomats sent a similar letter to President Bush.
Israel has transferred highly sensitive technologies to potential U.S. rivals like China, what the inspector general of the Department. State defined as “a systematic and growing pattern of unauthorized transfers”. According to the General Accounting Office U.S., Israel also “conducts highly aggressive espionage operations against the U.S.…”.

THE EROSION OF ALL GROWING MORAL JUSTIFICATION…
…Supporters of Israel say that this state deserves the unconditional support of the United States due to four main reasons, namely: (1) This is a weak state surrounded by ememigos; (2) Israel is a democracy, which is the preferred form of government morally; (3) In the past, the Jewish people have suffered from crimes and, thus, deserves special treatment; and (4) Israel's behavior is morally superior to their opponents.
Evaluate whether these considerations are sound:
1) Is Israel weak?
Present Israel as a weak and cornered David Jew, surrounded by a hostile Arab Goliath, is false. From the beginning, the Zionists had larger forces, better equipped and better led during the War of Independence 1947-49; and Israel Defense Forces (FDI – Israel Defense Forces) won quick victories against Egypt in 1956 and against Egypt, Jordan and Syria 1967, Israel even before being benefited with the support of large-scale U.S..
Today, Israel is the greatest military power in the Middle East. Its conventional forces are superior to those of his enemies and is the only state in the region that has nuclear weapons.
…According to an evaluation conducted in the year 2005 by the prestigious Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University, “the strategic balance decidedly favors Israel, has continued to expand the qualitative gap between its own military capability and deterrence power, and those of its neighbors”.
2) "Israel is a democracy?
This justification may sound convincing, but not consistent in the light of the political history of the United States in the past has turned several democratic governments (eg., Most of the Ira 1953, in Guatemala 1953, in Chile 1973, And, indirectly, in Argentina 1955 and 1976), while it has supported dictatorships when it believed that it promoted U.S. interests. Even today, U.S. has good relations with a series of dictatorships (eg., Egipto, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait).
Anyway, U.S. is a liberal democracy in which it is assumed that any person of any race, religion or ethnic group enjoys equal rights. In contrast, Israel was explicitly founded as a Jewish state in which citizenship is based on the concept of blood brotherhood. Given this concept of citizenship, not surprising that the 1.300.000 Arabs living in Israel are treated as second class citizens, or that a recent Israeli government commission concluded that Israel behaves “neglectful and discriminatory toward Arabs”.
Similarly, Israel will not allow Palestinians who marry Israeli citizens can be transformed, themselves, Israeli citizens, and gives the spouses the right to live in Israel. The Israeli human rights organization described this restriction N'tselem “a racist law that determines who may reside in this country as racist criteria”. Such laws may be understandable considering the founding principles of Israel, most are not consistent with the American idea about democracy.
The classification of Israel as a democracy is also weakened by its own will not give the Palestinians a viable state itself. Israel controls the lives of some 3.800.000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, colonized land while the Palestinians are long dwelling. Israel is formally democratic but to the millions of Palestinians that controls are denied all political rights…

3) Does the past Jewish suffering, Israel justifies the behavior of?
This factor is understandable, but it should be noted that the creation of Israel entailed committing crimes against a third, mostly innocent: Palestinians. The history of these events is well known. When political Zionism began to take hold in the late nineteenth century, had only a few 15.000 Jews in Palestine. and 1893, for example, Arabs make up about 95% of the population and, although they were under Ottoman control, came to be in continuous possession of their territory had been 1.300 years.
When Israel was established, although Jews constituted only 35% of the population of Palestine, owned 7% of its territory. To consolidate its future presence, (the first president of Israel after) Ben-Gurion saw the problem clearly when 1941 said “impossible to imagine general evacuation of the Arab population to mediate without coercion and the brutal imposition”. and 1947-48, Jewish forces drove around 700.000 Palestinians in exile….. Because the fear of violent death at the hands of Zionist forces led most flee.
The fact that the creation of Israel entailed a moral crime against the Palestinian people was well understood by Israeli leaders. Then, Ben-Gurion le comentó a Nahum Goldmann, President of the World Congress. Jews, “if I were an Arab leader, never come to an agreement with Israel. That is natural, because we have taken their country…. We came to Israel, but that was two thousand years ago. What can that matter to them? It is true that there was anti-Semitism, Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz but, Was it their fault? They only see one thing: We came here and we have stolen their country. Why should we accept that?”
Since then, Israeli leaders have repeatedly sought to deny the Palestinians their national ambitions. In the famous words of the prime minister Golda Meir, “Palestinians do not exist…”.

4) Is Israel virtuous?
Israeli forces killed hundreds of Egyptian POWs, both in the war 1956 as in that of 1967. and 1967, expelled from 100.000 and 260.000 Palestinians from the newly conquered lands in the West Bank, and others expelled 89.000 Syrian Golan Heights. He was also complicit in the slaughter of 700 innocent Palestinians in refugee camps in Sabra and Shatila, after the invasion (Israel) in Lebanon 1982; and a commission of inquiry concluded that the then Israeli defense minister Ariel Sharon was “personally liable” by such atrocities.
Israeli personnel have tortured Palestinian prisoners; has been systematically humiliated and harassed Palestinian civilians; and has used force indiscriminately against them on numerous occasions. During the First Intifada (1987-1991), eg., Israeli armed forces (FDI) sticks and clubs distributed his troops, instigating breaking bones of Palestinian protestors. The Swedish “Save the Children” (Save the Children), estimates “Between 23.600 and 29.900 children had to receive medical treatment as a result of wounds received during the beatings spread by the Israelis during the first two years of the Intifada”, nearly a third of them suffering broken bones in his bones. Nearly a third of beaten children were aged ten years or less.
During the Intifada Seguinda (2000-2005), himself noted that Israeli daily Ha'aretz “IDF (IDF) are being transformed into a killing machine, whose efficiency but also wonder shoquea. The IDF fired one million bullets in the early days of the insurgency, which is far from being a measured response. Since then, Israel has killed an average of 3,4 Palestinians for every Israeli killed; most innocent bystanders. The ratio of dead Palestinian children and Israeli children killed, is greater: 5,7 Palestinians for every Israeli.
The very ex-Prime Minister Barak once admitted that if he had been born a Palestinian, the “had become a member of any terrorist organization”.
Finally, should not overlook the fact that the Zionists used terrorism when they were in a similarly weak position and trying to win his own state. Between 1944 and 1947, Zionist organizations perpetrated several terrorist bombings to drive the British out of Palestine, and killed many innocent civilians. Israeli terrorists assassinated the UN mediator, Conde Folke Bernadotte one 1948 because they opposed his plan to internationalize Jerusalem.
This was done by a terrorist group led by Shamir Yzakh (then Prime Minister of Israel), who openly declared that “neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of warfare”, instead, “terrorism played a big role in our war against the British invader”.
If terrorism is now used by the Palestinians is morally reprehensible, was then also reprehensible terrorism that Israel used in the past, therefore no justification for U.S. support for Israel on the fact that his past conduct was morally superior.
If none of these reasons explains the U.S. support that Israel provides, then, What is the explanation?

EL LOBBY ISRAELI
The explanation of this situation we find in the unparalleled power of the power of the Israel Lobby. But for the Israeli Lobby's ability to manipulate the American political system, the relationship between Israel and the United States would be far less intimate than it is today.
We use the term “Lobby” a brief description and appropriate to describe this informal coalition of individuals and organizations who actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. Our use of this term to suggest that “Lobby” as a unified movement with a central leadership, or individuals within it do not have different views on certain issues. The core of the American Jewish lobby is making significant efforts in their daily lives to bend U.S. foreign policy in a manner that promotes the interests of Israel. Their activities go beyond merely voting for pro-Israel candidates, but includes… financial contributions and support for pro-Israel organizations. …
Not all Jewish Americans are part of the Lobby as, for many, Israel is not a major issue in their lives. In a reachble made in 2004, for example, approximately 36% of American Jews said they were “not much” the “for nothing” emotionally attached to Israel.
But key organizations in the lobby like AIPAC or CPMJO (Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations – Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations)) are driven by activists who support the expansionist policies of Israel's Likud Patido.
Not surprising that American Jewish leaders often consult with Israelis officials on how best they can maximize their influence in the U.S.. American Jews have an impressive array of organizations to influence U.S. foreign policy, of which AIPAC is the most powerful and best known.
The lobby also includes prominent Christian evangelists like Gary Bauer, Jerry Falwell, Ralph Reed y Pat Robertson, as well as Dick Armey and Tom DeLay, two major leaders of the House of Congress. They believe that the rebirth of Israel forms part of biblical prophecy, support its expansionist policies and believe that pressuring Israel is contrary to God's will. turn, Lobby counts among its members to gentiles such as John Bolton, the late publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Robert Bartley, former Education Secretary William Bennett, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Jeane Kirkpatrick, and columnist George Will

SOURCES OF POWER
The U.S. has a tripartite government offers many opportunities to influence the policymaking process. As a result, interest groups can shape these policies in many different ways – exercising “lobby” on legislators and the executive, making contributions to political campaigns, voting in elections, shaping public opinion, etc.
The Power of Israel Lobby flows from its unparalleled ability to play the game of political interest groups. … What sets the Israel Lobby in a single category is its extraordinary effectiveness.
The Lobby promotes two major strategies to promote U.S. support for Israel. First, detenta influencia significativa en Washington, pressure on the Executive and Congress to always support Israel. Second, the Lobby strives to ensure that the message and public discourse about Israel always shows that nation in a positive light, repeating myths about Israel and its foundation, advertising and pro-Israel point of view in public debate.
The aim is to prevent critical comments about Israel can have a fair spread in the political arena. Control the public debate is essential to ensure U.S. support, because an open and balanced discussion on relations between the U.S. and Israel, could well lead many Americans to encourage other government policy.
A fundamental pillar of the Lobby's effectiveness is its influence on Congress, where Israel is virtually immune to criticism. One reason for this success is that certain key members (U.S. Congress) are Christian Zionists, as Dick Armey, who in September 2003 said “my top priority 1 foreign policy is to protect Israel”. It is assumed that the number one priority of any U.S. legislature should be to “protect the United States”, but that is not what Armey said.
…AIPAC makes sure that its friends get strong financial support of countless organizations pro-Israel political action. Those who are perceived as hostile to Israel can be sure that AIPAC will contribute to the campaigns of their opponents…
What should not be ignored is the fact that AIPAC is a de facto agent of a foreign government and has cornered the United States Congress. An open debate on U.S. policy toward Israel has no place in this area, although such policies have important consequences for everyone.
…Despite their small numbers within the U.S. population (less than 3%), Jewish voters make large donations to election campaigns of candidates of both parties. The Washington Post has been estimated that Democratic presidential candidates “dependent on Jewish support for 60% of your money”.
The Bush administration includes fervently pro-Israel individuals like Elliot Abrams, John Bolton (Former UN ambassador), Douglas Feith (In the former. 3 at the Pentagon), In. Lewis “Scooter” Libby (former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, prosecuted for federal crimes today), Richard Perle (-mentor is Pentagon policy in the Middle East), Paul Wolfowitz (In the former. 2 Pentagon, and now World Bank president questioned) y David Wurmser. turn, all these people are members of the powerful “think tank” Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), true “brain” planner of the New World Order.

Manipulate PUBLIC OPINION
Parallel to influence government policies, Lobby seeks to shape public perceptions about Israel and the Middle oient. You do not want a debate asbierto on issues involving Israel because any such open debate could well lead to U.S. citizens to question the level of support currently being given to Israel. Corresponientemente, pro-Israel organizations work hard to influence media, the “Think Tanks” (brain banks) and universities, as these institutions are critical in shaping popular opinion.
The position and opinion about the Israel Lobby is largely reflected in the main media, largely because most trainers are pro-Israel views. This attitude is pro-Israel editorials reflajada major publications… como el Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Washington Times, Commentary, New Republic, Weekly Standard, y el New York Times.
Also the influence of the Lobby on “brain banks” is important… Over the past 25 years pro-Israel forces have established a dominant presence in organizations like the American Enterprise Institute, The Bookings Institution, The Center for Security Policy, The Foreign Policy Research Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Hudson Institute, the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis y el Jewish Institute for National Secutity Affairs (Forgetting).
In universities, Lobby has encountered some difficulty in neutralizing the debate over Israel, due to the higher prevailing atmosphere of intellectual freedom, making it more difficult to silence or threaten academic.
Martin Kramer y Daniel Pipes – two passionately pro-Israel neoconservatives – established a website (“Campus Watch” www.campus-watch.org) in which disclose the background of academics and teachers who are suspicious and suggest to students who report any comments or behavior that could be considered hostile to Israel.
Perhaps the most worrying aspect of this whole campaign to eliminate criticism of Israel in universities, is the effort of Jewish groups to push the U.S. Congress to establish mechanisms to monitor what professors say about Israel. Universities are considered to have an anti-Israel stance would be retired central government funding. This effort to make the U.S. government acting as intellectual police in universities has not succeeded, but the mere fact that trying to impose it illustrates the importance of pro-Israel groups are to control the debate on these issues….
In short, the lobby has made enormous efforts to isolate Israel from criticism in the universities. It has not been as successful in academia as it has had in Congress, but has been working to neutralize any criticism of Israel by professors and students, listens and is now much less critical in college.

El Gran Silencio
No analysis of how the Lobby operates would be complete without examining one of its most powerful weapons: the accusation of anti-Semitism. Anyone who criticizes Israel's actions, or claims that pro-Israel groups exert important influence on U.S. policies in the Middle Oeriente – an influence that AIPAC celebrates openly -, at risk of being called anti-Semitic.
Indeed, anyone who says that there is an Israel Lobby runs the risk of being accused of anti-Semitism, yet despite the fact that the Israeli media openly speak “Jewish Lobby” within the United States. Indeed, Lobby is proud of its own power, but then attacks anyone who calls attention to the same. This tactic is very effective, as anti-Semitism is negligible and no responsible person wants to be accused of the same.

The tail wagging the dog…
The Lobby has also sought to shape the fundamental elements of U.S. policy in the Middle East. particularly, has operated with great success in convincing leaders to support estadouidenses permanent repression that Israel carried out against Palestinians, and point to the major regional adversaries Israel: Iran, Iraq and Syria.
Maintaining U.S. support for Israeli policies against the stirrers is one of the main objectives of the Lobby, but his ambitions do not stop there. He also wants U.S. help Israel remain the dominant regional power. Not surprisingly, the Israeli government and pro-Israel groups within the U.S. work together to shape the Bush administration's policies toward Iraq, Syria and Iran, like his master plan of reorganization of the Middle East.

Iraq
Although the pressure from Israel and pro-Israel lobby was not the only factor in the U.S. decision to attack Iraq in March 2003, however, was a critical element. Largely, that war was motivated by the desire to make Israel more secure were…
The 16 August 2002, eleven days before that Vice President Cheney started the campaign for war, The Washington Post reported that “Israel is urging U.S. officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq's Saddam Hussein”. Thus, according to Ariel Sharon, strategic coordination between Israel and the U.S. had taken a “unprecedented scale”, and Israeli intelligence officials had provided Washington with a series of alarming reports about Iraq's programs for weapons of mass destruction. As one retired Israeli general later put it, “Israeli intelligence was a full partner in shaping the picture presented to the American and British intelligence in respect of non-conventional military capabilities of Iraq .. & #8221;
At the same time former prime mnistro Ehud Barak wrote in the New York Times on Iraq, warning that “the greatest risk now lies in inaction”. His predecessor Benjamin Netanyahu issued a similar editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled “The case for overthrowing Saddam” in which he declared “Today nothing less than the dismantling of his regime is acceptable”, adding that “I speak for the vast majority of Israelis in supporting a preemptive strike against Saddam's regime”. the, as reported (Israeli newspaper) Ha'aretz in February 2003, “the Israeli political and military leaders want war in Iraq has”.
within the United States, the main force behind the Iraq war was a small band of neo-conservatives, many of whom have close ties to the Likud Party of Israel. “A report by Perle and Wurmser in June 1996 proposed a clean slate in the strategy for the Israel, And he advised the then incoming Prime Minister Netanyahu to focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq – what constitutes an important Israeli strategic objective in itself. He called on Israel to take steps to reorder the entire Middle East…. Feith, Perle and Wurmser were advocating that the Bush administration adopted this plan, leading Ha'aretz newspaper to point out that Feith and Perle “are walking the thin line between their loyalty to the United States government … Israeli interests”. Wolfowitz was also fully committed to Israel, which led to the Jerusalem Post newspaper to praise the fact that it was a “devoto pro-israeli”, and in naming him Man of the Year 2003.
Iran and Syria
Currently, something similar happens on these two nations. As early as the year 2002, Sharon began publicly pushing the United States to confront Iran. He did it during a high-profile interview to The Times of London. then, described Iran as “the world center of terror…”, saying that the Bush administration should apply heavy pressure on Iran “the day after” to conquer Iraq. In late April 2003, Ha'aretz newspaper reported that the Israeli ambassador in Washington had called for regime change in Iran.
The Bush administration responded to pressure from the Lobby, working overtime to settle the Iran nuclear plan. But Washington has had little success … and the Lobby has intensified pressures on the U.S. government, using all the strategies available

SOME CONCLUSIONS
Not surprising that Israel and its backers within the U.S., want that power to attack any and all threats to the security of Israel. If their efforts to shape U.S. policy succeed, then Israel's enemies are weakened or are removed from power, while Israel continues to have a free hand against the Palestinians while the United States is responsible for bearing the brunt of war, of the dead, reconstruction and to pay all expenses.
Can I limit the power of the Lobby? The reality is that AIPAC and its allies (including Christian Zionists) have no serious opposition in the world of Lobbying. You know today is more difficult to justify Israel's arguments are responding to this expanding its activities and the number of operators. turn, U.S. politicians are highly sensitive to campaign contributions, and other forms of political pressure; while the major media are likely to remain favorable to Israel, regardless of their behavior.
Lobby's campaign to bring about “regime change” Iran and Syria, U.S. could well make the attack on these nations, which lead to potentially disastrous consequences. U.S. does not need another Iraq.
However, Thanks to the Lobby, The U.S. has become the de facto support for Israeli expansionism in the Occupied Territories (Palestinians), making it complicit in the crimes perpetrated against the Palestinian people.
U.S. efforts to limit nuclear proliferation are hypocrites, considering their willingness to accept Israel's nuclear arsenal, which in turn instigates others to Iran and try to have similar capabilities.
The campaign, developed by the Lobby to silence the debate about Israel is unhealthy for democracy. Silencing the skeptics, organizing blacklists and boycotts – the sugiriendo that such criticism is “Semitic” – violates the basic principle that makes open debate, which is based on democracy. The inability of Congress to conduct a genuine debate on these vital issues paralyzes the entire process of democratic deliberation.
Supporters of Israel should be free to express their ideas and challenge those who disagree with them. But his efforts to silence the debate by intimidation must be openly condemned by those who believe that freedom of expression and open discussion should prevail in matters of public importance.
Although the Lobby remains a powerful force, adverse effects of its influence are increasingly difficult to hide now. Powerful states can maintain bad policies for a long time, but the reality can not be ignored permanently.
What is needed, then, is an open and candid debate about the undue influence of the Lobby and a more open debate about U.S. interests in that vital region of the world.
So far, the words of Harvard University. En futuras ediciones de El Traductor Gráfico seguiremos bregando para que se abra un similar debate abierto en la República Argentina respecto de la similar influencia indebida ejercida por parte de las organizaciones sionistas sobre las políticas públicas del gobierno argentino, media and national public opinion. Argentine invite all truly committed to defending democracy against the threat of powerful authoritarian minorities, to join this effort.
