To influence the US President, you need sympathetic chairs of Congressional committees.
Chairs of key House of Representatives committees are Jewish.
These pro-Israelis in Congress consider themselves a first class team who have major, major, major influence in the executive branch.
Now where on the internet did I pick up that gem?
America on the Zionist rack (cartoonist: John Kloss)
Did I stumble across it in the Klu Klux Klan weekly? The Al Qaeda Times?
How about the Zionist Global Conspiracy Gazette?
Nothing so exotic. I spotted the story initially on Phil Weiss’ website Mondoweiss – then checked the original source: The Jewish Daily Forward.
Nathan Guttman’s article Some Israelis Hoping for A GOP Win, But Will History Repeat Itself? is an analysis of what both parties in the US Congress – Democrats and Republicans – currently offer the State of Israel in terms of one-sided tactical advantage.
Guttman says that Republicans are “hawkish and pro-Israel” but adds “the new GOP leadership sees Israel as a lower-level priority”.
Consequently, Guttman suggests there’s an opening for the beleagured Democrats.
New York Democrat Gary Ackerman seeks to exploit it. Mr Ackerman explains (emphasis added):
“If you need the president, you need us as chairs of the committees,” Ackerman said as he listed what he called the “first-class team” of Jewish pro-Israel Democrats who chair key House committees: Berman at Foreign Affairs, Barney Frank at Financial Services, Henry Waxman at the Energy and Commerce committee, Sander Levin at Ways and Means, and Ackerman himself in his role as head of the Middle East subcommittee. “We are all pro-Israel and we all have major, major, major influence in the executive branch.”

Life must be full of tough choices for the American Zionist Lobby.
It’s like a kid in a candy store… so many options and they all taste yummy.
Luckily, The Lobby has more than enough cash to fund both ‘sides’ of American politics handsomely at election time – so bankrupt Uncle Sam keeps donating $30 million per day to its Israeli ‘ally’, no questions asked.
Whatever the combination of authentic US voters and rigged voting systems and machines comes up with on November 2nd, Mr NuttyYahoo anticipates a satisfactory result.
By contrast, America’s first President George Washington is probably turning in his grave.
This is what the man after whom the USA’s national capital was named had to say in his 1796 Farewell Address to the nation (emphasis added):
“…nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations, has been the victim.
“So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
George Washington: if alive today, he would be very, very, very annoyed
“As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.
“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.”
