    GA: Are you sure about this, or is that something we all prefer to believe? As it happens both in Britain and America the political parties are funded heavily by Jewish pro Israeli lobbies. Haim Saban, the multi-billionaire Israeli fund raiser for the American Democratic Party said last year that the best way to influence America is through political funding, the media and think tanks. There you go. Even the vision of ‘American interests’ can be no more than false interests when they have been manipulated into an alignment with what are really Israeli interests. At the end of the day, it is far cheaper to buy a western politician than buying a tank. It is far cheaper to recruit a ‘new friend of Israel’ than flying an F15 for one hour.

    I really don't find that too interesting at all.

    If I was a cynic, I would just say it's just another attempt by the left wing to promulgate anti Israeli /anti US propaganda and rhetoric.

    It's not like the Israeli government needs someone else's help to make themselves look bad.

    Promulgate, you just love that word don't you!

    Anyway, I have no idea how you find it strange that wars are fought for profit or gain. Since the dawn of warfare, that is what every single war has been about, that's not left wing agenda or anti-Americanism, just fact.

    There's an awful lot of Israel bashing going on though. You'd swear that the Palestinians never saw a bomb in their lives except for when the Israelis were dropping them.

    I don't see much Israel bashing in this thread. He appears to be saying that the pro Israel lobby spend a lot of money trying to influence American policy.

    I don't see the story tbh.

    We know that the Israeli-lobby has significant leverage over American politics. It's not news.
