There is an Israel Lobby http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/john-mearsheimer/the-israel-lobby
There is a Saudi Lobby
There is a Trial Lawyers Lobby– etc
But the most powerful lobby in Congress is the US Military and they have spoken loud and clear that our support of the apartheid regime in Israel endangers the lives of American troops.
Talk frankly to any Marine commanders– who are the sharp edge– and they will tell you that the current regime in Israel is a liability– not an asset– the US Army General Petraeus sent the same message to Congress– it is only a matter of time until the boom comes down.
The Israel Lobby’s hustle to get the US to attack Iran is the last straw– the demonization of Islam is part of their strategy– a big fail-
The US military knows that is not in US interests to attack Iran and it would bring us into direct confrontation with China– look at the economics.
US voters will not allow their son and daughters lives to be sacrificed for the apartheid in the Holy Land by Israel.
If Israel wants to attack Iran they will face China’s wrath — good luck with that! they are on their own — as The Economist warned months ago.
