-- A Pro-Israel Lobby
A Pro-Israel Lobby
The 'pro-Israel' Lobby
By Michael Kinsley
FULL OP-EP FROM MSNBC
"Former President Clinton once described the Zionist lobby as �stunningly effective� and �better than anyone else lobbying this town�? Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has gone even further (as is his wont), labeling the Zionists �the most effective general interest group � across the entire planet.� (Gingrich added ominously that if the Zionist lobby �did not exist, we would have to invent� it.) House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt is quoted saying that if it weren�t for the Zionist lobby �fighting on a daily basis,� the close relationship between America and Israel �would not be.� Sen. John McCain has said that this lobby �has long played an instrumental and absolutely vital role� in protecting the interests of Israel with the U.S. government. There is a string of quotes from leading Israeli politicians making the same point."

| This is relevant to current events. Last week United States Representative James Moran of the House of Representative made a comment that the Israel Lobby should try to use its influence to stop the war. Later this week he was forced was forced out of his party leadership post. |
