Reply #32: He also includes fundamentalist christians in the critique [View All]

This is specifically about supporters of Sharon, christian, jewish and in the defense industry. AIPAC is not a Jewish organization. It is a political organization that takes positions antithetical to most jews. He is criticizing their specific practices an policies. Furthermore his claims about AIPAC have not been proven false. They have just been smeared with nasty associations. Different ideological groups do excercise influence on the government. The right wing cubans have a similarly nasty effect, though I doubt most people who point this out hate Latinos. Right wing Cubans also have support from fundamentalist christians and the defense industry. You have to deal with whether his arguments are true or not. The groups you cite are nut cases for reasons having nothing to do with Israel, but with general malice toward Jews as a group.

Bruce Springsteen cultivated lots of repuke fans after his "Born In the USA" album. I don't hold it against him. Bob Dylan fan list is filled with fundamentalist christians and Lubuvitchers because of his various involvements over the years, don't hold that against him either, even though bible thumpers drive me nuts. At the beck list you have to put up with Scientlogy advocates. I am not a scientologist. I still listen to Beck.
