American Jews are not the 'keepers and guards'. You are blaming an entire group of 7 million people for the behavior of at most a few tens of thousands, my guess as to the number of ultra-Zionist activists (not everyone who belongs to AIPAC is an ultra). That's like blaming all Christians for the behavior of Mormon polygamists. </p> Good grief anon. American Jews are not the 'keepers and guards'.

And neither was everyone who belonged to the Nazi Party in Germany, or the Communist Party in Stalinist Russia, but most knew more or less what was really going on in the underbelly of it all (as do most members of AIPAC), and thus complicit.
