Maybe some of you have read my previous posts over the past few weeks, about the ad hominem attacks I have faced by some people on a local conservative Tea Party forum who happen to be both Jewish and Christian Zionists. This all came about because of a few articles I posted about Ron Paul's foreign policy stance and an anti-war article about the enormous influence of the Israeli Lobby.

Despite my many attempts to be polite and civil, no one would engage in a reasonable dialogue. There was an immediate attack of being labeled an anti-semite when all I was trying to discuss was policy - NOT a race of people. If I posted articles by Jewish writers that were in favor of Ron Paul, then they were all labeled as "self-hating Jews!"
Then I discovered there are certain words that you are absolutely forbidden to use like the word "neo-con" for instance. How was I to know that it is supposedly a thinly veiled code word for "Jew??" Apparently, this was started by our favorite anti-Paul friend Mark Levin whose charming personality has seemingly imbued itself to some of his listeners as well.
Then there was the Christian Zionist who wanted to "save me" from God's wrath over my foreign policy position. The C. Zionists believe that we have to support Israel no matter what, because Jesus won't return unless Israel exists. He was do disturbed about my posting Ron Paul videos, that he began spamming about 70 Tea Party forums to spread vicious lies about RP being BOTH an anti-semite and a racist! These people are INSANE!
So my experience is that RP is NOT going to be able to convince these types of people whose beliefs are deeply engrained. I think he would do better with the Democratic Jewish community.
But the 1000 lb. gorilla in the room that is keeping us entangled in a constant state of war is AIPAC. I think The Fed & AIPAC go hand in hand as 2 of the most serious obstacles to Peace & Prosperity in our country. It is taboo to even discuss AIPAC in this country. But AIPAC is openly discussed in the Israeli media. Congress is in FEAR of AIPAC and bows down to them openly:
The Best Congress AIPAC Can Buy

You might think that 20 percent of the American Congress going on all-expenses-paid, weeklong junkets to a foreign country — paid for by a lobby for that country — would be newsworthy, especially when the top congressional leaders of both parties are leading the trips.
You would be wrong.
Eighty-one congressional representatives from all over the country, led by Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, are traveling to Israel this month. Most are freshmen congressmen, and the group includes half of all the freshmen Republicans voted into office in 2010.
The weeklong trips are being paid for by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), which was created in 1990 as a supporting organization of AIPAC, America’s major pro-Israel lobbying organization, and they are located in the same building. AIEF, which is only one of numerous organizations pushing pro-Israel policies, has an annual budget of over $24 million, with an even larger endowment.
This is an extraordinary situation. No other lobby on behalf of a foreign country comes anywhere near controlling such wealth or taking so many of America’s elected representatives on a propaganda trip to its favorite country.
Not all those going on these trips are enthusiastic. The wife of one congressman who made a similar trip some years ago said that she and her husband had never been exposed to such pressure in all their lives. She said that at one point on their trip, her husband — a normally extremely tough man — was curled up in a fetal position.
