47. AIPAC is not any lobby, and they don't get a pass because they
don't influence foreign policy through out, although some that are foolish, may believe they do. AIPAC concentrates on one area, and they have been extremely successful and the measures they use as influence have had an enormous impact. Looking back to Bush 1, he spelled out very clearly, their operating procedures. It is no wonder AIPAC is so threatened by J Street, they finally have competition for the alleged
one voice that AIPAC has tried to control.

As a lobby, they stand for the continued oppression of Palestinians, I condemn their attempts at influencing policy, as I do Exxon Mobile, the health insurance industry, Lockheed Martin, and the propping up of deregulation of the markets....people suffer and they literally DIE needlessly as a result of their efforts.
