Dedicato a chi pensa che democratici o repubblicani fanno differenza o che USA,abbandonerà nel futuro a medio termine Israele o il contrario:
E uno dei lobby,il più noto e non solo non nasconde che è lobby,ma dice con orgoglio i suoi risultati.Come dicono lavorano con membri del Congresso sia Democratici che Repubblicani (questa sì che è lungimiranza e intelligenza.Non importa chi vince,perchè tanto i partiti sono solo 2 ed entrambi influenzati):
What We’ve Recently Achieved
AIPAC members and staff
work with both Republican and Democratic members of Congress around the country to ensure that the U.S.-Israel relationship remains strong and vital. With the support of AIPAC members nationwide, AIPAC - America's Pro-Israel Lobby - has worked with Congress on numerous legislative initiatives, including:
- Securing Critical Foreign Aid to Israel, totaling $2.52 billion this year in military and economic assistance.
- Obtaining $9 Billion in Loan Guarantees for Israel to offset the economic crisis brought on by the global recession and Palestinian terrorist war.
- Increasing Military Aid to Israel by $1 Billion in grants to help cover the escalating costs of the war on terrorism.
- Conditioning Assistance to the Palestinian Authority by limiting aid to indirect assistance and requiring extensive reporting mechanisms to ensure that funds are properly spent.
- Limiting the Flow of Illicit Weapons Technology to Iran and Syria by working with Congress to reauthorize and extend the Iran Nonproliferation Act. This legislation authorizes sanctions against organizations which provide technology to Tehran that can be used to produce missiles or weapons of mass destruction.
- Holding Syria Accountable for their continued involvement in Lebanon and their support of terrorism. The Syria Accountability Act allows the President to sanction Syria for both.
- Passing the Iran Libya Sanctions Act which reduces available foreign currency crucial to funding Iran's nuclear program by threatening sanctions against foreign companies investing in Iran's energy sector.
- Condemning the Iranian Threats against Israel through resolutions in the House and Senate that passed unanimously in both the houses of Congress.
- Passing a House Resolution Warning of Serious Policy Implications for U.S.-Palestinian relations should Hamas be part of the Palestinian government. A letter stressing similar concerns was sent to President Bush with the signatures of 73 Senators before the Palestinian legislative elections.
- Securing $600 Million for Key U.S.-Israel Cooperative Defense Programs, including $133 million for the joint U.S.-Israel Arrow Missile Defense System.
- Condemning the Arab League Boycott of Israel through the passage of congressional resolutions and key letters to the U.S. administration.
- Helping Secure the Designation of Hezbollah's TV Station as a Terrorist Entity through key legislative language as well as support of a letter to the president signed by 51 senators.
- Helping Secure Full Membership for Magen David Adom (the Israeli first aid agency) in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement by supporting a congressional letter and legislative provisions pressing for Israel's inclusion.
- Fostering U.S.-Israel Homeland Security Cooperation by taking U.S. homeland security professionals on trips to Israel to exchange information and techniques with their Israeli counterparts.

^E il lobby più spudorato mai visto,sul serio.Di solito i lobby si nascondono dietro circoli culturali o roba simile e di certo non sbandierano su internet quello che fanno.Si vede che non temono niente e nessuno.
E anche qui,si vede come sono sopra i partiti :
What Top Leaders Say About Us
“
The work that AIPAC does is a vital part of our democratic process. You speak out boldly, and that's good for America and Israel. You make sure that politicians hear what voters have to say not only on election day but on every day of the year.”
-President
George W. Bush
“Thank God we have AIPAC-the greatest supporter and friend that we have in the whole world. The role that you have played has been an essential ingredient in the strength that we have and the ability of the state of Israel to carry on under very unusual and difficult circumstances.”
-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
“One thing which has not changed, however, is our appreciation of AIPAC. You help strengthen the friendship between Israel and the United States - a friendship based on the shared values of freedom, democracy and the sanctity of life.”
-Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
“AIPAC has done a magnificent job,
better than anybody else lobbying in this town...You have been stunningly effective.”
-Former President
Bill Clinton
“For over half a century AIPAC has strengthened the religious, cultural, and political bonds that unite our two great nations, and
I thank you for that.”
-Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice
“(The) convergence between the support of the U.S. government for Israel and the support of the American Jewish community for Israel has an identity card. The name on that card is AIPAC.”
-Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin,
z”l
“There is no substitute for peace, and no guarantee of peace without security. AIPAC has long played an instrumental and absolutely
vital role in assuring that security. Your cause has always been just.”
-Senator
John McCain
“Thank you, AIPAC, for speaking out loud and clear and for bolstering the special relationship between the U.S. and Israel. It is your work on behalf of the closer ties between the U.S. and Israel that is vital to the peace process.”
-Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak
“I think Israel is especially lucky that AIPAC exists in this country to present Israel's case. I don't think anyone is more knowledgeable than you about the Middle East as it really is. And I think no one can present the case better.”
-Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
“The special relationship between the United States and Israel is as strong as it is because of your (AIPAC's) fidelity to that partnership...”
-House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Prima di tutto,complimenti a Israele per l' ottimo lavoro,e non lo dico ironicamente.Il lobby grecoamericano al contrario ,diviso e debole sembra da principianti e infatti non può vantare buoni risultati.
Mi meraviglio piuttosto con i cittadini americani,che evidentemente non riescono ad accedere al sito,che penso ogni cittadino di sana mente troverebbe SCANDALOSO vedere come un lobby mette su internet cosi apertamente i modi nei quali influenza il governo nella politica estera.
Per chi si interessa ci sono anche trascritti dalle politiche decise in convegno,dove hanno partecipato molti onorevoli politici.
