"Our Israel policy does not reflect the wishes of the vast majority of Americans in any meaningful way"


"A powerful bloc in Washington and the media facilitates our Israel policy, but our Israel policy does not reflect the wishes of the vast majority of Americans in any meaningful way"

This needs repeating on every political platform - both Republican and Democrat, in every State, in every church and religious gathering, in all union meetings and town halls and in every home up and down America, every week.

AIPAC and the entire Israel lobby work, not for the good of America but to maintain their extensive influence within the legislature in order to fulfill their specific agenda.

That agenda is detrimental to American democracy as it works for the advancement of a foreign state and not for the welfare and good of Americans and America.

Agreed. We must be careful to stay on top of what is going on with this and other issues while we are focused on Health Care/Insurance Reform.

Countless times has congress passed laws in the wee hours that were huge and outrageous. There is so much 'game' going on these days and I no longer have the work that allows me to listen to the senate in the background so I feel blind because I can't keep watch. I have to trust that others out there are watching and will keep me informed. Where to get the information becomes a greater and greater challenge.

Re your title: Neither does our health care system, but who's listening?
