I need to register the fact that Rudy Giuliani in attacking Barack Obama for alleged flipflopping said that he had told "a pro-Israel group" that he was for an undivided Jerusalem and then changed his mind the next day. Fair point, a reference to Obama's shameful performance before AIPAC in June. Giuliani then said that he was for an undivided Jerusalem, and so is John McCain. They want neverending bloodshed in the Middle East.
Also: Can you imagine any politician referring to the NRA as a "pro-gun group"? No. You can't. That's because people know about the NRA, know it's the gun lobby. AIPAC is not a household word, though it is far more powerful than the NRA. Inexcusable. The journalists are to blame.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden told a conference call of Jewish media: “AIPAC does not speak for the entire American Jewish community…There’s other organizations as strong and as consequential….I’ve never disagreed with AIPAC on the objective…Whenever I’ve had disagreement with AIPAC it has always been a
tactical disagreement, not a substantive disagreement.” I suppose that's progress.
