31. Knows too much to tell us
And again I ask; what is this influence of AIPAC and other un-named Zionist lobbies. How exactly do they control the US government? I can’t evaluate your point, because you do not give me any action-cause relationships. Only that you know far too much to actually tell me anything. Can you tell me any facts? For example how much money does AIPAC gives to elected officials?

Can you name one resolution (I assume you mean UN) that the US has vetoed that was a genuine attempt to resolve the conflict. I can’t think of one so I can’t really respond to this. Facts: the US has been the facilitator of peace whenever a Arab country was willing to accept Israel’s standing peace offers; Egypt and then Jordan. They hosted numerous attempts to broker peace with the Palestinians to only have the Palestinians reject it. Stop and think about this. You want the U.S. to support a peace deal and the Israelis to accept one. They already did AND THE PALESTINIANS REJECTED IT. What exactly is the brutal agenda that Israel has that involves inviting the PLO to come to the West Bank and Gaza and offer them their own state?

In fact there is tremendous criticism against Israel and I do not see anyone being punished. Who are these politicians that are afraid to speak the truth? Can you name any of them? Can you explain to me how Jews would get rid of these elected politicians in let’s say Arkansas, that voted against Israel aid? Again, your whole argument seems to read “I support Palestinians and know I am right, and many US politicians support Israel, so they must be threatened, ignorant or brought off. I generally like to think people, even elected officials have a conscience and while I disagree with them I at least try to understand them and not demonize the other side.

Remember provide facts and be specific. Otherwise you are just expressing abstract opinions which really can’t be debtated.
