There is nothing new in Peled's threats to use US supplied tax dollars to purchase arms from countries other than the US. This may prevent the Israelis from using US technology to develop their arms industry through which they sell our technology to countries to whom the US would not sell our technology for the past 40 years. (China, Brazil and others).

The Israeli Government has been involved in US elections since the Fullbright days. The Israeli Govt was most certainly involved by laundering US supplied tax dollars in order to give AIPAC money from US taxpayers to elect Dick Durbin and defeat Rep. Charles Findley. The US Congress is indeed "Israeli occupied territory."

Though I don't think the Netanyahu government is stupid enough to put this plan into action, it does seem to me a recipe for backlash. If there's one lobby that rivals the pervasiveness of the Israel lobby it's the weapons manufacturers. If they start losing money because some right-wing government in Israel is refusing to buy American weapons for their assorted killing needs, it seems very likely they'll turn on that government and have the US start pressuring for a return to the "good ol' days" of Kadima when Israeli wars were fought almost exclusively with American-made weaponry.

It is amazing how little money it takes to buy a congressman. Most of them don't get more than a few thousand dollars from AIPAC. One would think that if you were selling out your country, it would require a great deal of money to salve your conscience, but not the two-bit whores that we continually re-elect they will settle for chump change.

Does anyone still need proof that the Israeli government "OWNS" the US Congress? I've never been able to figure out exactly how and why our elected representatives (as if they've ever been interested in representing us) have allowed themselves to be bought by a foreign government. That used to be grounds for treason – if this were a logical world.

"…might provoke a backlash…" If that were only true. Those who put Israel's security before that of the country and people they (US Reps) supposedly represent should be confronted with questions about where their real allegiances really are.

I think dual citizenships should be made illegal for those who serve in Congress. That should be a no-brainer.

On top of that, I propose that we impose sanctions on Israel – nothing less than a complete blockade. The UN can set up a program by which Israel can purchase food and medical supplies through a special account funded by neocon nut jobs supporters abroad. Other than that, it's siege time. As for conditions for lifting the siege, Israel has to give up its nuclear weapons and completely dismantle its nuclear energy program, among other things.

I'm not surprised at all by this. I think it's way past time we stood up to these assholes. But I doubt anybody in government has the balls.
