The boundless arrogance of AIPAC’s leaders

How are we going to beat back the anti-Israel divestment resolution at Berkeley? We’re going to make certain that pro-Israel students take over the student government and reverse the vote. That is how AIPAC operates in our nation’s capitol. This is how AIPAC must operate on our nation’s campuses.

Jonathan Kessler, AIPAC

Check out this video (kindly sent to me by T. – thanks T!!) which shows how AIPAC is doing what the CIA used to do on US campuses: identifying and trying to coopt/recruit ‘promising’ students:

The big difference is, of course, that while the CIA does this on behalf on the US government and, theoretically, in the interest of the USA, AIPAC is doing this on behalf of a foreign government (one which does not even have a record of being a loyal ally to the USA; amazingly, AIPAC still is not registered as an agent acting on behalf of a foreign power).

Listening to the likes of Kessler and Dershowitz I marvel at their boundless arrogance. They will probably be outraged and surprised when, inevitably, the chickens come home to roost.

Fortunately, the followers are not that great in number. Dershowitz audience was relatively small in that last scene of the video .
My reation was, “it’s a 21st Century zombie movie”.
The “television heads” blindly, stumbling along, following the lead of their AIPAC masters.

It’s sad to see a report like this, where smart young people from the US are drawn into the arms of a fanatical foreign lobby.

It would be a good thing if most people realized that Israel is a small, unimportant country far away and that it attracts way, way too much attention from supporters and opponents.
