MJ Rosenberg joins the battle between Steve Walt and Rob't Satloff over the true aims of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and says the thinktank is just a "cutout" for the Israel lobby.
I was working at AIPAC and it was Steve Rosen who cleverly came up with the idea for an AIPAC controlled think-tank that would put forth the AIPAC line but in a way that would disguise its connections.
There was no question that WINEP was to be AIPAC's cutout. It was funded by AIPAC donors, staffed by AIPAC employees, and located one door away, down the hall, from AIPAC Headquarters (no more. It has its own digs). It would also hire all kinds of people not identified with Israel as a cover and would encourage them to write whatever they liked on matters not related to Israel. "Say what you want on Morocco, kid." But on Israel, never deviate more than a degree or two.
So why does it matter?
It matters because the media has totally fallen for this sleight of hand and WINEP spokespersons appear (especially on PBS) as if WINEP was not part of the Israel lobby.
So Satloff is engaging in pure subterfuge in telling Steve Walt that all we do around here is think about Morocco. This is why I often call the lobby a conspiracy, in the sense of the word that Lincoln used when he saw a conspiracy of the slave interest pervading our politics. There are a number of players and when you call them out they deny their role.

The problem is that the media know perfectly well what WINEP is and knowingly go along with the deceit, giving it more credibility by doing so.
You go further than Walt in calling “the lobby” a conspiracy.
I think you are careless in that language, gambling.
So, you don’t care that WINEP is a shill for a foreign government masquerading as a source of legitimate American policy?
I think you are careless in that language
As someone who regularly calls non-violence a “weapon,” “brutality” and “radical,” I believe you lost any credibility in pointing out to others who exactly is careless in their use of language.
Whether or not the “lobby” is technically a “conspiracy”, or merely a secretive organization involved in covert operations is somewhat irrelevant. The crucial point is that the lobby misrepresents itself (surprise, surprise!) in order to achieve unstated objectives. Power operates best in the shadows. Of course the corporate media are complicit! It’s how they earn their profit!

“Leftist activist undressed in religious settlement during Shabbat protest, angry residents say
Creative protest or hurtful provocation? Residents of the religious settlement of Otniel were in for an unexpected surprise Saturday after “hosting” a group of 15 leftist activists, including a woman who they say took her clothes off in a residential neighborhood.”

What kind of sick person would undress in front of religious people? That person should be ashamed.
Answer my question UNIX
Are you an Israeli and a Jew?
I wouldn’t mind showing my zizi to religious folk..Why should we show PARTICULAR respect for religious nutjobs?
Especially of the settler variety! Yeek!

If this information is available as open source information, then it’s clear that mere politics are preventing the FBI and American patriots from taking action against AIPAC.
This article clearly shows that AIPAC operates like an espionage agency, with front companies, deceptive tactics and ulterior motives in tow.
It’s time someone with the power to do so registered AIPAC as a foreign lobby organization. It’s also time for the IRS to investigate them.
AIPAC itself is an organization formed to avoid such registration by its parent zionist organization. The Kennedy brothers were pursuing AIPAC at one time, if memory serves.

US DOJ has recently been formally asked to move forward to compell registration
of AIPAC as a foreign agent.

Yes the “Joos” are again conspiring to rule the world.
Small wonder the movement to boycott Israeli academics is gaining momentum, if this is your nominal contribution to conversations.
All you are doing is demonizing American Jews in an indirect but no so subtle way. I am just helping people see through your convoluted and hate filled rhetoric.
PBS is airing a program in honor of Yom Hashoah (Jewish Remembrance Day for the Holocaust) tonight. I received this in my inbox:
Taking this with Netanyahu’s incendiary speech at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, the RW continues to mine the Holocaust for political capital.
