		<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, ok, after weeks and months of discussion we&#039;ve thoroughly established that AIPAC are a bad bunch. My question is what can we DO about it?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think we should devote more of our time to that question instead of beating that same dead horse&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Great question.  In the review of The Israel Lobby in the New Yorker, David (the reviewer) said that he agreed with Mearsheimer and Walt as to the solution.  The solution was to reform campaign finance further to make elections more about ideas and less about pandering.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;the big dersh with the little d said this at herzliya, he is a smart man that dersh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;. Dershowitz’s advised Israel &amp; Jewish groups to continue to fight against the negative image that is being perpetrated  by these and other factors but he also warned that “Israel must be prepared to lose American support in the coming years both diplomatically and economically. “My message to Israel is ‘be strong’ and be prepared to go it alone.” &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or ensure that there are an equal number of junkets to the Palestinian territories.  You need non-partisan sponsored tours so inform, rather than partisan sponsored tours to convince.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But the difference in funds available to each side of this battle for PR purposes will continue to exist for the forseeable future.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What can we do? I don&#039;t know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But it might go like this story...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When I was a teenager a man in my town rescued an abused monkey from one of those imported pet mills. He took the monkey everywhere with him, dressed him in clothes, took him in resturants and stores. Anything the monkey pointed to or reached for the man would buy to entertain him. He even had a room especially designed for the monkey in his house just like a child&#039;s room. To say the monkey was spoiled is an understatement. At first everyone in town was enchanted with the monkey and the story of his rescue and the monkey was allowed everywhere in town where pets usually wern&#039;t allowed, an exception was made for the monkey. The man did business with my father and brought the monkey to his office frequently. Then one day my father mentioned he thought the monkey might be becoming dangerous. That he was out of control and had snatched and thrown papers off the desk, jumped on employees in the office and really created havoc and frightened people and the man did not seem able to control the monkey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This man had also taught the monkey tricks, like fetching things for him and opening doors and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
One day at home the man told the monkey to get two cokes from kitchen which the monkey had done many times. The monkey went and fetched two cokes except this time the monkey  didn&#039;t want to give the man one of the cokes he had fetched, the monkey wanted both the cokes. The man tried to take it from him and the monkey attacked him, bashed him in the head with the coke bottle and tore into him. When his wife ran to help her husband the monkey then attacked her. The man and his wife both ended up in the hospital with lacerations and bite wounds and the man almost lost an eye from the attack. I don&#039;t remember hearing what became of the monkey, whether he was put down or given to some animal compound but the man got rid of him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Israel and the Israel first US Jews  that America has spoiled and made exceptions for because of their past victimhood are that monkey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And it will probably end just like this man and his monkey.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;we can&#039;t expect monkeys to be grateful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the uss liberty should have been the straw that broke the camels back, but look how far we&#039;ve come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;justice deferred is not justice denied.&lt;br /&gt;
the law is in nature, and will exact its payment in its own inimitable way.&lt;br /&gt;
THOUGH the mills of God grind slowly,&lt;br /&gt;
Yet they grind exceeding small;&lt;br /&gt;
Though with patience he stands waiting,&lt;br /&gt;
With exactness grinds he all.&lt;br /&gt;
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow&lt;/p&gt;
