This week George Bush is to speak at the "President’s Conference" in Israel, which is titled "Facing Tomorrow" and being led by a thinktank called the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute. One of JPPPI’s chief concerns is the "erosion" of Jewish demography worldwide due to intermarriage and other factors. I.e., fewer Jews. This must be looked at "urgent"ly, JPPPI says, because of "the implications of demography for Israel’s standing in a prolonged situation of military and political conflict." My emphasis. This means, when there are not many Jews in America, the Israel lobby loses strength, and who will Israel turn to? And what is meant by times of "political conflict"? All the time.
Dennis Ross is the chair of JPPPI. A year or so back I heard him argue, at Cooper Union in New York, [and here, on NPR] that Walt and Mearsheimer’s thesis was bunk, and that maybe the Israel lobby affected Congress, but surely not White House policy. I never found Ross’s argument to be believable. His thinktank’s "urgent" concern suggests he doesn’t believe it either.

Theodor Herzel
The founder of modern Zionism
Herzl stated in his diary
“So anti-Semitism, which is a deeply imbedded force in the subconscious mind of the masses, will not harm the Jews. I actually find it to be advantageous to building the Jewish character, education by the masses that will lead to assimilation. This education can only happen through suffering, and the Jews will adapt. ”. (From his Diary, Part I, pp. 68)
do not doubt for a moment that what has worked in the past will be repeated in the future.
zionism is a fearsome beast without compassion.
Dennis Ross is a Jewish Zionist agent of Israel. He played out that role in the 2000 Camp David Summit, disingenuously holding himself up as an impartial American arbiter, yet basically maneuvering on behalf of Israel. The fundamentally corrupt and dishonest left-liberal Clinton administration was party to the deceit, just as the fundamentally corrupt big government Republican Bush administration has been party to Zionist deceit since 2001. Nothing of substance will ever be accomplished on the Israeli-Palestinian issue until the entire Zionist-tainted and bought-off corrupt Washington Establishment is flushed. If Barak Obama wins the presidency, he should immediately identify whether any of his prospective hires and appointees are Jewish Zionists, and take that into strong consideration before putting them into any sensitive positions.

Thanks for the referencel, samuel burke. The comments are quite revealing too. One of them posits alternative reality scenarios for Israel's future.
is dennis ross the one that is "loathed"?
one billionaire owning a major paper, mag, network, or owning all worth one million others. having/putting foot soldiers like ross in power positions magnifies that billionaires power.
How can you take anything Ross says seriously. He is an Aipac agent, served as a mole in the Clinton administration and was a major architect of "Israel has not one to speak to" — the reason Israel suspended talks with the Palestinians the past 8 years. His agenda is obviously Westbank expansion and how to trick the US into supporting that policy.
AIPAC is like Shrub. Shrub was really annoyed that Sadsack tried to kill his dad. AIPAC is annoyed many gentiles looked the other way when they came for the jews.
Neither Shrub, nor AIPAC have cared to look into why that was.
I'm not justifying the Shoah, nor that Sadsack tried to assassinate Shrub I.
Politicians never give a s— about root causes. The result is
world history, as first written by the victors in any region, and later, by revisionists–when it no longer matters, and without the endlessly sealed records until then.
