At Huffpo, Stephen Zunes provides an excellent breakdown of the restrictions placed on the Palestinians
by Congress in the new budget but remains in stolid denial that it is
the result of the pressure of the lobby. What is the reason for Pelosi
and the Democrats taking the pro-Israel positions that they do?
According to Zunes, it's simply "racism." Now, it's true that racism is
involved but that is hardly an answer. I have debated Zunes twice and
he simply refuses to accept the facts about the lobby's funding of the
Democrats, insisting that the Aerospace industry gives more which is so
off the mark that it's a joke. In an on-air debate with me he claimed
he would be a Zionist (he's not Jewish) "until there is no more
anti-semitism" and portrayed Israel as an example of "global affirmative action."
