At first analysis one would think the Israel lobby has blundered. A fool’s gambit, even.

However, unlike a chess tournament in which all players must abide by the rules, the Israel lobby controls the mainstream media and importantly, control over many peoples careers. Thus they write their own rules.

That said, it is heartening to see the lobby attracting a small but growing group of critics. The shift in public opinion is occuring, albeit frustratingly slowly for those of us familiar with the grotesque history of Zionism and its rabid media supporters.
