The U.S. Congress: A Metonym For AIPAC

The majority of Americans believe they are governed by elected representatives in Congress which is in reality more akin to a Knesset serving Israeli interests

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 18, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The majority of the American people believe — due to a corporate mass media-induced blinkered naivety — that they are governed by their elected representatives in Congress which in reality is more akin to a Knesset serving the interests of war criminal Israeli Zionists rather than the interests of the God, peace, and gun-loving American people. While it is sometimes alleged that the the National Rifle Association, or NRA — supported by smaller groups such as the Jews for Preservation of Firearms Ownership — is the most powerful lobbying group in the U.S., it is nowhere near as influential as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) whose leverage extends over far more areas of U.S. government policy.

AIPAC’s headquarters is located several blocks from Capitol Hill in a nondescript but secure and heavily guarded building whose occupants work closely with the office in Jerusalem and oversee the activities of a further seven U.S. regional AIPAC offices. By working closely with their Washington Headquarters, each regional office maintains a year-round hands-on involvement for its members who are kept informed with seminars on Israeli issues and encouraged to become effectively involved on Israel’s behalf in both local and national politics.

The seeds of AIPAC’S creation were sowed soon after Israel’s establishment as a state in 1948 when it became apparent that in order
to cope with the influx of some 600,000 Jewish immigrants — room was made for them by killing palestinians and expropriating
their homes — Israel would require the assistance of U.S. Jews. But even before then, U.S. Jewish money was being raised under the
deceitful name of American Friends of the Fighters for Freedom of Israel. The money was for two brutal Jewish Terrorist groups —
including the savage Lohamei Herut Yisrael also known as the LEHI or Stern Gang after its founder Avraham Stern — who were
murdering innocent civilians as a matter of course to cleanse Palestine of its British occupiers and its indigenous inhabitants. A Mr.
Shepard Rifkin who was the executive director after the UN Partition of Palestine and prior to the creation of Israel in May 1948,
solicited Albert Einstein to help the Stern Gang raise American money for arms to drive out the Arabs and help create a Jewish state. On April 10th, the day after the infamous massacre of Arabs at Deir Yassin, Einstein replied with the following letter:

April 10, 1948
Mr. Shepard Rifkin
Exec. Director
American Friends of the Fighters For the Freedom of Israel 149 Second Ave.
New York 3, N.Y.

Dear Sir:
When a real and final catastrophe should befall in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the terrorist organisations build up from our own ranks.
I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people. Sincerely yours,
Albert Einstein

Though U.S. Jews subsequently responded with unprecedented generosity, by 1950, however, it became apparent to U.S. Jewish leaders that much more financial aid was required and accordingly they devised a four-point strategy to increase donations from Jewish individuals; encourage U.S. corporate investment in Israel; promote the sale of Israeli bonds; and request that Israel become a recipient of assistance from the U.S. aid program for underdeveloped countries. Despite such efforts, the demand of Israel’s economic and military requirements could not be met by handouts alone. Consequently in 1951 the American Zionist Council (AZC) was established to promote a pro-Israel lobbying campaign that would concentrate on influencing Congress. Having, however, been established as a tax-exempt entity, the AZC was not legally permitted to Lobby in the U.S. on Israel’s behalf and as a result in 1954 faced a possible investigation for its violations. To avoid such a possibility, the AZC rebranded itself as the non-tax-exempt America Zionist Committee for Public Affairs. Having subsequently over a period of time recognised that its Zionist objectives may be too harsh for the American Jews whose support it required, the Committee shrewdly once again rebranded itself by substituting the word “Israel” for “Zionist” to become the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

In 1961 Zionism/AIPAC suffered a setback with the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) — who being determined to prevent a nuclear arms race in the Middle East — was consequently at loggerheads with Israel’s Ben-Gurion who earnestly believed that possession of nuclear weapons was essential for Israel’s survival. On realising that JFK would not budge on the issue, Israel joined forces with Communist China which was also desirous of nuclear weapons . . .
