You people are obviously ignorant.
The pro-Israeli lobby has affected our freedoms so badly that American Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt had to go to England to publish a critique on the lobby called "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy." They refer to the charge of anti-Semitism as the "great silencer," that is axiomatically used to attack anybody criticizing Israel or Israeli policy.
The situation has become so bad that even the Iraq War, according to the professors, was due in large part to the influence of the pro-Israeli lobby. The same strategies are now being played to pressure the administration into being aggressive with Iran, so that, as the paper states, "Israel's enemies get weakened or overthrown, Israel gets a free hand with the Palestinians, and the United States does most of the fighting, dying, rebuilding and paying."
It's very tragic that because of the pro-Israeli lobby Americans hear only one side of the debate and as a result, the United States is putting its own security aside to advance the interests of another state. As Professor Mearsheimer puts it, the U.S. has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around.
