Perfect example as to why I have come to despise the Jewish Right in America

Is because of the steaming pile of bullshit below:

Prejudice—like cooking, wine-tasting and other consummations—has an olfactory element. When Chuck Hagel, the former GOP senator from Nebraska who is now a front-runner to be the next secretary of Defense, carries on about how “the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here,” the odor is especially ripe.

Ripe because a “Jewish lobby,” as far as I’m aware, doesn’t exist. No lesser authorities on the subject than John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, authors of “The Israel Lobby,” have insisted the term Jewish lobby is “inaccurate and misleading, both because the [Israel] lobby includes non-Jews like Christian Zionists and because many Jewish Americans do not support the hard-line policies favored by its most powerful elements.”

Ripe because, whatever other political pressures Mr. Hagel might have had to endure during his years representing the Cornhusker state, winning over the state’s Jewish voters—there are an estimated 6,100 Jewish Nebraskans in a state of 1.8 million people—was probably not a major political concern for Mr. Hagel compared to, say, the ethanol lobby.

I don’t know who this Stephens guy is, what he can go suck a big one; the damned AIPAC shill.

  1. Israel Says Strict Checks And Regulation Prevent Gun Crimes – http://abcn.ws/VOu3oJ

    Despite how prevalent guns may seem, their numbers among civilians are very low. Israel has highly rigorous background checks, which experts credit as the main reason gun deaths in Israel are relatively uncommon, certainly in comparison to the United States.
