with over THREE out of FOUR - 76 out of 100 - U.S. Senators signing an Israel letter rebuking the current president -
(and his AIPAC, Golddamn-Sachs, Neo-Con dominated administration!) -
- for not sufficiently kow-towing to Israel's insane, warmongering, Likud Party leader and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
(note: the Likud Party whipped up a NAZI-esque atmosphere of HATE and intimidation that led DIRECTLY to Prime Minister Rabin's ASSASSINATION by a "Jewish religious zealot" gunman in 2005.) (and here)
SOLICITING FUNDS from A FOREIGN POWER should be made ILLEGAL in American politics, however, the Jewish lobby, like the Catholic Church, reserves the right to BRIBE politicians in ALL countries, including apparently "close business ties" with Krygzstan's widely despised and recently deposed dictator, Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, outsted from power by popular revolt on April 7, 2010.
Because SUPPORTING MURDEROUS DICTATORS overseas; and supporting MONOPOLY, DICTATORIAL, foreign power CONTROL over the Congress, White House, U.S. Government, and American financial system, is what the Israel/Jewish lobby works ferverently at doing....
76 US Senators Signal their DEFERENCE to the Jewish/Israel lobby; Sign on to Israel Letter rebuking U.S. president...

April 14, 2010 "Politico" -- More than three quarters of the U.S. Senate, including 38 Democrats, have signed on to a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton implicitly rebuking the Obama Administration for its confrontational stance toward Israel.
The letter, backed by the pro-Israel group AIPAC, now has the signatures of 76 Senators and says in part:
We recognize that our government and the Government of Israel will not always agree on particular issues in the peace process. But such differences are best resolved amicably and in a manner that befits longstanding strategic allies. We must never forget the depth and breadth of our alliance and always do our utmost to reinforce a relationship that has benefited both nations for more than six decades.
A similar letter garnered 333 signatures in the House, and its support marks almost unified Republican support for Benjamin Netanyahu's government, along with strong, but more divided, public Democratic discomfort with Obama's policies in the region.
Signatories include key Democrats like Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, Chuck Schumer, and Robert Menendez as well as all but four Republicans, with signers including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, John McCain, and Scott Brown.
Majority Whip Dick Durbin, however, did not sign; nor did Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry and ranking member Richard Lugar.
The full Senate letter, circulated by Senators Barbara Boxer and Johnny Isakson, is here.
The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton==========================================
Secretary of State
United States Department of State
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Clinton:
We write to urge you to do everything possible to ensure that the recent tensions between the U.S. and Israeli administrations over the untimely announcement of future housing construction in East Jerusalem do not derail Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations or harm U.S.-Israel relations. In fact, we strongly believe that it is more important than ever for Israel and the Palestinians to enter into direct, face-to-face negotiations without preconditions on either side.
Despite your best efforts, Israeli-Palestinian negotiations have been frozen for over a year. Indeed, in a reversal of 16 years of policy, Palestinian leaders are refusing to enter into direct negotiations with Israel. Instead, they have put forward a growing list of unprecedented preconditions. By contrast, Israel’s prime minister stated categorically that he is eager to begin unconditional peace negotiations with the Palestinians. Direct negotiations are in the interest of all parties involved – including the United States.
We also urge you to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds that tie the United States and Israel together and to diligently work to defuse current tensions. The Israeli and U.S. governments will undoubtedly, at times, disagree over policy decisions. But disagreements should not adversely affect our mutual interests – including restarting the peace process between Israel and her neighbors and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
From the moment of Israel’s creation, successive U.S. administrations have appreciated the special relationship between our two nations. Israel continues to be the one true democracy in the Middle East that brings stability to a region where it is in short supply. Whether fighting Soviet expansionism or the current threats from regional aggression and terrorism, Israel has been a consistent, reliable ally and friend and has helped to advance American interests. Similarly, by helping keep Israel strong, the United States has helped to reduce threats to Israel’s security and advance the peace which successive Israeli governments have so avidly sought.
It is the very strength of our relationship that has made Arab-Israeli peace agreements possible, both because it convinced those who desired Israel’s destruction to abandon any such hope and because it gave successive Israeli governments the confidence to take calculated risks for peace. As the Vice President said during his recent visit to Israel: “Progress occurs in the Middle East when everyone knows there is simply no space between the U.S. and Israel.” Steadfast American backing has helped lead to peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan.
We recognize that our government and the Government of Israel will not always agree on particular issues in the peace process. But such differences are best resolved amicably and in a manner that befits longstanding strategic allies. We must never forget the depth and breadth of our alliance and always do our utmost to reinforce a relationship that has benefited both nations for more than six decades.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator
Note: Barbara Boxer was "THE SANE" Jewish Senator, as "one of the most 'Liberal' senators in the Senate," Ms. Boxer was nominally one of the most concerned for California's working-class, middle-class, and low-income citizens.
Unfortunately, this letter demonstrates that, NO MATTER HOW "Liberal" even the most progressive Jewish senators and representatives may be, THEY SIMPLY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED, at the SLIGHTEST provocation from their Jewish & Israel lobby patrons - on behalf of the DICTATORIAL & OUT-OF-CONTROL Netanyahu LIKUD PARTY - they will stand in line to vie with the treacherous Senator JOE LIEBERMAN for Lieberman's well-deserved moniker as "THE SENATOR FROM ISRAEL."
