An unnamed official in the Obama Administration has termed the White House “uneasy” with the growing criticism they face from US Jewish groups and Israeli lobbying factions, saying they believe the moves are being spearheaded by the Israeli government itself.
A particular sore spot is the intense and continued lobbying for Iran sanctions by Lobby powerhouses like AIPAC, aimed at sabotaging the interim nuclear deal with Iran.
The usual Senate hawks were quick to sign on to the Iran sanctions bill, but it has lost momentum as the Iran deal has gone into effect. The lobbying effort hasn’t stopped however, and has in many ways picked up, hoping to secure the number needed to override a promised Obama veto.
AIPAC shrugged off the concern, saying their “top priority” remains building support for the sanctions, and that they consider Congressional positions on Israel and Iran proof they are doing a “terrific job” lobbying.
"Spearheaded by the Israeli government," Who the hell is running the US government? this is so embarrassing for an official in Obama's administration to make such claim. The US is being held hostage base on Israeli decisions making….? way to go Obama.
Israel is no friend of the U.S., in reality it is a true PARASITE.
Israel–that criminal, racist Zionist entity–ought to be cut off from American life support.
Not parasite Jay Hall.LEECH
This is infiltration by a hostile govt. I actually commend Obama for bringing to the forefront and accentuating this perverse stranglehold for all to see. Maybe then we can do something about it before we end up like the USSR, because that seems to be the way it's all going…except we'll have more toys and more war than they did.
This is infiltration by a hostile govt. and people who care about their country should be more than a little uneasy. I actually commend Obama for bringing to the forefront and accentuating this perverse stranglehold for all to see. Hagel and Kerry were steps in the right direction. Maybe then we can do something about it before we end up like the USSR, because that seems to be the way it's all going…except we'll have more toys and more war than they did.
"…believe the moves are being spearheaded by the Israeli government itself."
Can't for the life of me understand where they got that idea… They (and the American people) should be more concerned at the number of Congresscritters who bought the snake oil.
I disagree with the dictatorial powers that the president is afforded. However, in the case of the treasonous and cancerous Israel lobby with their stranglehold on American foreign policy, and much else besides, Obama should use the Espionage Act and the RICO statutes to cleanse our body politic of this malignant tumor.
O-Bomb-a, the War-Criminal- in-Chief (hey, I almost forgot, he's Peace Laureate-in-Chief!), is unhappy with AIPAC's lobbying.
Well, duh.
O-Bomb-a, you must realize that pandering to the Zionists only gets you in deeper.
Obama should take the American people into confidence and tell them openly what is happening. That a bunch of traitors in Congress Media , Banking etc are leading America into destruction.I believe that even now American people are unaware of this situation as they are only concerned about what is happening personally to themselves like unemployment and other problems.It will take real courage for the president to come out in the open and tell the truth
