HOW ISRAEL LOBBIES IN AMERICA

“We the Jewish people control America and the American know it “

Since the early fifties Israel by courtesy of the powerful Jewish Americans living in the US, who control all major media and business conglomerates is conducting a highly successful propaganda war to paint the Arabs of Palestine as the real culprits and themselves as victims of Arab terror.
Unopposed by the Arabs doing nothing strong enough to counter this negative blitz , the Israeli Public Relations war has reached new intensity. For the Muslim countries(I prefer Muslim to Arab, as the later gives wrong message of dichotomy within the Ummah)) to compete with the Jewish lobby make its presence felt in the American polity on the same dimensions and dynamics as of Jews/Zionist entity will be an exercise in futility.
The need of the hour for Muslim nations is to search and find partners and friends from among the new emerging economic powers. By the time the Muslim set up lobbies in America to counterbalance the Jewish lobbies, America will be a skeleton of its present muscular self.
China will be the new super. It is making its presence felt, if not as the immediate successor to American militarily might, it has already established itself as an economic power to reckon with and is a step nearer to diluting American world hegemony, ushering in a new world order Power The Muslim world should now look towards BRIC for any future partnerships and defense pacts. The “Arab Spring” is signaling rapid changes within and without, the Middle East, their rumblings can be felt even in the stable regions of GCC countries.
However, Muslim nations should take a leaf Israel in learning how to build and generate support for its causes in the coming new world order.
The Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organization claims 52 listed Jewish organizations in America that lobby on regular basis for Israeli interests.
According to Jewish Peoples Policy Planning Institute and the Jewish Encyclopedia, there are an estimated 13. 2 million (practicing and secular) Jews in the world. It is hard to assess the real number of world Jews, say the two organizations. The total population of Jews in the Americas (North, South and Central) is around 6 million( JPPPI).
Since the creation of the Israeli state in 1947, the American Jews have played a central role in American finance industry and are among the chief beneficiaries of various corporate mergers and reorganizations that happened in late 80’s and mid -90’s
Seymour Lipset and Earl Raab, two noted Jewish writers in their book , Jews and the New American Scene, wrote that “since the last three decades(the book was published 1995) Jews in the United States have made up 50 percent of the top two hundred intellectu¬als... 20 percent of professors at the leading universities ... 40 percent of partners in the leading law firms in New York and Washington ... 59 percent of the directors, writ¬ers, and producers of the 50 top-grossing motion pictures from 1965 to 1982, and 58 percent of directors, writers, and producers in two or more primetime television series.”The three main newspapers, the Washington Post, the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are owned by Jews.
Actor Mell Gibson of movie “Brave Heart “fame, ruined his career making the film “Passion of Christ” .It clicked at the box office world over but not in Israel and the US. His remark, “Jews are responsible for all wars’ has pushed him into wilderness. Three decades back the same happened to historian Paul Kennedy for his book” They Dare to Speak” .The South African Judge, Richard Goldstone, Chairman of the fact-finding mission on the atrocities committed by the Israeli Defense Forces on civilians in Gaza in the bloody 2008-2009 Gaza war, is now in the cold for damning Israel in his report .Benjamin Nethanu’s comments on the report,”it should be thrown in the dust bin,” got more media coverage in America than the report itself.
When Israel planned its bombardment of Gaza in 2008 it formed a new National Information Directorate that prevented reporters from entering Gaza during the bombardment. Again in 2010 when the Gaza Aid Flotilla was attacked by the Israeli Armed Forces, it released an edited footage to the world with its own caption showing the unarmed volunteers on board, as armed and firing on IDF. This contentious and false propaganda film was taken up by all major networks in Americas and Europe, while the UN sponsored report was hardly given any coverage. All their brutal and savage military acts against Palestinian, men, women and children are shown with specially edited comments blaming Palestinians for bringing upon them the wrath of ID..
The Jewish state works on a two pronged policy of using Muscle to kill Palestinian leaders and acquire their land and the Media to win the “Hearts and Mind” of international community. (However, recent reports suggest they are now gradually losing on this front after the two unjust wars on Hezbollah and Hamas in Gaza).
As they ruthlessly decimate Palestinian civilians and assassinate their leaders, destroying their property, impose sanctions on their movements, on the diplomatic front they operate NINE Consulates, in addition to the embassy in America working 24x7, liaisonning with American media under directives of the Israeli governments, specially set up, Permanent Institute of Public Relations known as “Hasbara”. Hasbara in Hebrew means Public Diplomacy. This is a very sophisticated and complex four- tier process of preventing exposure of Israeli atrocities and war crimes in the occupied territories from reaching major media networks in America and Europe, while promoting its own versions that blame the Palestinians for the eruption of hostilities.
A. Involving and exploiting the interest of the owners and CEO’s Media who are all Jews( Rupert Murdoch of Fox network is a Gentile but all his CEO’s are Jews).The more Israel is portrayed as victim of Arab terrorism ,the more diversion of advertising revenues.
B. Political Support- Congressmen, past,present and politicians are on the pay list of major Jewish American corporate business houses. L.A. Times, reports, Congressmen at Capitol Hill are paid anywhere between $400,000 to $600,000 yearly for lobbying for Israeli interests.
C. The Israeli government’s has a special secretariat that monitors Pro and Anti media both electronic and print. Pro-Israeli media is referred to AIPAC and other Jewish Organizations for financial support and business opportunities.
D. The guiding force is the Israeli Media Watch Dog that is ever on the watch to block and black -out any anti-Israeli news reaching the major media networks. To this another new outfit has been added recently, , The National Information Directorate, that was responsible for falsifying reports on Gaza and Aid Flotilla attacks (the armed assault of ID on the Turkish International Aid Flotilla –Marvi and the phosphorus bombs dropped on civilians population in Gaza 2008 war).
The Jewish Diaspora of over 2500 years has to have this kind lobbying and greasing of the American political machine to legitimize its illegal occupation of Arab lands and its criminal acts of genocide against the people of the land they have occupied.
Muslim countries presently the means, the power, and tools to undo what has been done to the Palestinians and other global flash points. They have 37 per cent of the world power resources (oil& gas). This weapon has been put to successful use in 1973 making the world powers come to Riyadh with folded hands requesting to open the taps. The oil rich countries of the Middle East and Gulf have 800 /900 billion dollars of foreign reserves. Their gold stocks if put to the market can wreck havoc on world financial markets. What is needed is collective, calculated and determined effort to leash Israel. (End)
