“…During my nineteen years serving in elected office, including the past five years as a Member of Congress, never has my name and reputation been maligned or smeared as it was last week by a representative of AIPAC…”
Someone is standing up to AIPAC? well…thats hardly tough enough language, in my opinion, but why is someone risking thier political career standing up to the most inflential group in American politics, a group that shapes American foreign policy and even National Security Policy ?
That Rep. McCollum would take such a stance, shows, I think, that the power of the Lobby is waning. With an espionage investigation and upcoming trial of its chief Washington lobbyist at hand, the Walt-Mearsheimer controversy, and indications of a growing chasm between Washington and Tel Aviv over the latter’s arms sales to China and covert activities in the U.S., the power of the Lobby is being openly challenged as never before.
Can it be?
