-
- ARF says:
-
- I have never stated anything like that. I have repeatedly
- complained about the distortion in the media and the
- corruption of Congress by the "Friends of Israel" or
- Israelists as I choose to call them.
-
- To suggest that all the "Friends of Israel" in Congress,
- (which is about 99% of Congress) are Jews is absurd.
-
- > If that is the case, then why did they get their loan
- guarantees turned down?
-
- ARF says:
-
- Refusing another $10 billion on top of the $78 billion
- already bilked from American taxpayers is hardly proof
- against "too much influence". Just what exactly is too
- much? They are one of the smallest countries in the world
- and yet they get most of the foreign aid from one of the
- largest. You used the words "too much", I call it utter
- corruption.
-
- But to answer your question, you need only look at what is
- going on now. Bush was obviously saving that carrot for the
- election season. It is all but a done deal. All that we
- are waiting for is the up coming photo op with Rabin.
- Unfortunately, he is going to find out that, as Baker
- stated, "they don't vote for us anyway". He is throwing out
- the only thing he did while in office that showed some
- character.
-
- >Jack Schmidling constantly complains that the Jews control
- the media in America. Yes, Jews are prominent in American
- media. However, it is well known (or *should* be well
- known) that advertisers indirectly dictate editorial
- content. And who advertises in the New York Times
- (and other Jew-controlled media)? Lots of non-Zionist
- companies.
-
- ARF says:
-
- First of all, you insist on injecting the word "JEW" in this
- discussion to smear me as an antisemite. But all you do is
- force me to waste energy repeating the tired old rebuttals.
- Rather that do that, I simply suggest readers translate your
- word back into mine, i.e. Israelists. That is, people who
- support Israel, unconditionally.
-
- The answer to your statment is that Israelists can and do
- boycott or threaten to boycott ANY advertiser or medium that
- does not support Israel.
-
- Now, please tell me what YOU mean about Jews being prominent
- in the American media. Do you mean that somewhat more than
- the 3% Jews represent in the population are involved in the
- media? Do you mean 93%? Just what do you mean by
- prominent? And furthermore, why is it important to point
- this out?

-
- ARF says:
-
- Don't know if I will get around to doing this but I would be
- curious to know why the Palestinians have no need for
- security. It is also obvious that Israel, as one of the
- most powerful military forces in the world, has little to
- be concerned with when it comes to security. It is simply a
- canard for continual hate mongering and military buildup to
- threaten its neighbors. When is enough, enough?
