10. Like AIPAC it will fight against policies
that will bring peace to all the inhabitants of Israel.
I don't think it will focus on its views of the afterlife. they believe god sends people to hell.

they are focusing on promoting policies of militarism... I don't think their work will differ at all with AIPAC, they will push the same bills, oppose the same voices of sanity that sometimes raise up and then are quickly quashed . And, despite this evangalists dream (nightmare), I think since AIPAC is so well entrenched in Washington, it will take a long time before it becomes more powerful. How powerful either one is, or how it compares to the oil interests --i don't care.

If these groups want to be the public face of militaristic policies in the Middle East, fine. We will oppose them publicly at every opportunity, and propose a different set of priorities, a radically different worldview based on justice for all.
