1. PLEASE AIPAC - STOP - YOU'RE HURTING ALL OF US

2. U.S. Would Rather THOUSANDS DIE than OFFEND One Muslim
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.21.06)
Council on American-Islamic Relations: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad (CAIR co-founder). Addressing a youth session at the 1999 Islamic Association for Palestine's annual convention in Chicago, CAIR founder Omar Ahmad praised suicide bombers who "kill themselves for Islam," http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52184 Guarding America's freedom and protecting Americans is NOT U.S. policy. Protecting Israelis and preventing Islamic conquest of all Israel is also not the U.S. agenda. There is no war on terror! We are witnessing the death of Western civilization. WorldNetDaily.com August 18, 2006 Controversial Muslim group gets VIP airport security tour Feds show CAIR latest screening steps, sensitive counterterrorism procedures The Department of Homeland Security took a Muslim group with known past ties to terror organizations on a VIP tour of security operations at the nation's busiest airport at the same time British authorities were working to break up a plot to blow up U.S. airlines. On June 21, a senior DHS official from Washington personally guided Muslim officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations on a behind-the-scenes tour of Customs screening operations at O'Hare International Airport in response to CAIR complaints that Muslim travelers were being unfairly delayed as they entered the U.S. from abroad. CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association for Palestine, identified by two former FBI counterterrorism chiefs as a "front group" for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Several CAIR leaders have been convicted on terror-related charges. ...U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents were asked to describe for CAIR representatives various features of the high-risk passenger lookout system. In a meeting, Brian Humphrey, Customs and Border Patrol's executive director of field operations, assured CAIR officials that agents do not single out Muslim passengers for special screening and that they must undergo a mandatory course in Muslim sensitivity training. The course teaches agents that Muslims believe jihad is an "internal struggle against sin" and not holy warfare. Customs agents involved in the CAIR tour at O'Hare tell WorldNetDaily they were outraged that headquarters would reveal sensitive counterterrorism procedures to an organization that has seen several of its own officials convicted of terror-related charges since 9-11. "Isn't that nice of CBP," one agent said, to provide a "group like CAIR with a guided, behind-the-scenes tour of our customs facilities, explaining how programs designed to catch Muslim terrorists work." A Customs and Border Protection supervisor... "It's all about how Islam means peace and tolerance," he told WorldNetDaily. "We're told how to deal with Arabs and Muslims, that they are loving people and not terrorists. That jihad is struggle with sin and has nothing to do with violence." CAIR – which is bankrolled by the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates, two countries that formally recognized the Taliban – also offers religious and cultural sensitivity training about Islam and Muslims to the military... Also in June, CAIR was invited by the Pentagon to a ceremony dedicating the first Islamic center in Marine Corps history at Quantico headquarters outside of Washington. Washington-based CAIR also has regular meetings with the FBI and Justice Department. In fact, FBI case agents complain the bureau rarely can make a move in the Muslim community without first consulting with CAIR, which sits on its advisory board... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51573
3. The FBI wants to eliminate AIPAC
Mark ,   USA   (10.21.06)
The US State Department and US administration hate that group . They want to destroy their power and will frame them for any crime. AIPAC is a thorn for Bush.. Bush wants to cater to the Oil rich Arab countries.
4. AIPAC will not support Saudi peaceplan
Mark ,   USA   (10.21.06)
Saudis want Bush to implement their plan. AIPAC is an obstacle. Democrats and Republicans want Muslim votes. The US is trying to weaken Israel and the Israeli lobby. #1 goal
5. The US likes the Peace Now lobby!
Mark ,   USA   (10.21.06)
Peace Now wants the Saudi peace plan to get started NOW!
6. AIPAC will withstand scrutiny.....its is effective and legal
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.21.06)
7. "AIPAC" NAME CHANGE NEEDED TO REDUCE COGNITIVE DISSONENCE
DAVID P ,   SANTA CRUZ, USA   (10.21.06)
AIPAC'S NAME ALONE HAS BEEN SOILED, BUT WHAT THEY STAND FOR ESSENTIALY IS STILL IMPORTANT SO THAT IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE LEVEL OF TENSION BROUGHT ON BY THE NAME "AIPAC" THEY SHOULD CHANGE IT, RECREATE THE SAME GROUP WITH THE SAME PRINICPALS BUT UNDER A DIFFERENT PAC NAME. THEY MAY BE TOO BIG THOUGH SO IT ISN'T POSSIBLE, ITS BETTER TO CREATE A BUNCH OF "AIPAC" OFFSHOOTS SO WHEN OR IF THE HEAT DOES COME DOWN THIS STRATEGY WILL ALREADY BE IN PLAY
8. Whatever the US does for israel ... israel will always do
steve ,   US   (10.21.06)
everything to undermine US security and systems .. the FBI should go doqn on AIPAC and any other institution that plays corrupted politics
9. AIPAC - israeli firsters
American ,   USA   (10.21.06)
basically, Aipac is a bunch of jews from US and israel that puts the security of Israel BEFORE the USA_ so, therefore it is a security THREAT and grounds for investigation of TREASON. holy toledo-- I am so glad USA is WAKING UP!!!
10. #9 The US wants Israel weak
Mark ,   USA   (10.21.06)
AIPAC wants to prevent the US from destroying Israel. Israel must not do what the US says or their will be no Israel. The US is no friend of Israel. It uses Israel as a scpaegoat . It uses Israel so they can satisfy their own political, economic, and military agenda. The US uses the world and the World uses the US. The US has made Nasrallah an Arab role model.
11. Get rid of Peace Now and Soro's Lobby
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (10.21.06)
12. #11 Sam the alternative war lobby?
Mark ,   USA   (10.21.06)
The only alternative is war. I do not want war. I repeat I Do not want war!
13. fbi,cia, probe, blablabla
Josh   (10.21.06)
The answer to Israels problem is simple! EVERY, I emphasize EVERY Jew in american should draw their money out of US banking institutions, sell businesses and get the hell out of US. America will become a third world country in a time span so short, if you will miss the event that caused it. ENOUGH! Rice and Bush are showing us just how much they are our friends. Pull out of US economy and watch them change their attitude toward Israel.
14. AIPAC holds too much power
John ,   USA   (10.21.06)
AIPAC holds too much power and influence in US politics and everyone is afraid of it. Hate breeds fear, and fear breeds more hate. Congress is afraid to do anything to offend AIPAC, so secretly everyone would love to get rid of it. So you can say that this is the anti Israeli conspiracy. AIPAC tactics could backfire for Israel.
15. They do not call them the F***ing Bunch of
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.21.06)
Idiots for nothing. Try to find a more anti-semetic group in the states.No one comes near the f.b.i. in that.
16. Josh
joe   (10.21.06)
***EVERY, I emphasize EVERY Jew in american should draw their money out of US banking institutions, sell businesses and get the hell out of US. America will become a third world country in a time span so short, if you will miss the event that caused it.*** You finally admit what most zionists categorically deny: That approx. 3 percent of the US-population have absolute control over the rest of the country!!!! I knew!! I knew" I knew!!
17. If I sold it all....
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (10.21.06)
If I cashed in my chips and emptied the bank account, I could get as far as Freeport. ....and maybe buy an ice cream cone.
18. #12 Mark
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (10.21.06)
After being in the 73 war I don't want war either but with a left wing lobby there will be war. Look at the Oslo Process we have had war since. Look at Jimmy Carter a weak president and we have been stuck with Islamic Fasistim ever since the Iranian Hostage Crises of 1979. Peace Now and the new Soros Lobby will bring War not peace. AIPAC all the way is the best lobby to represent Israel
19. Harman's arch-left
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (10.22.06)
This is crap.
20. #2Linda Rivera Kindly stop your babbling
Little Miss Muffett ,   Sitting on a Tuffett   (10.22.06)
Did you even read the article? It has nothing to do with what you wrote! (Did you even write that? It looks like a big cut-and-paste job to me. ) Get a life, woman!
21. correction
MarcH ,   Philadelphia, PA   (10.22.06)
I think the facts in this article are a bit off. YNET wrote, "Two senior AIPAC lobbyists are awaiting sentencing as part of an investigation that led to the suspension and imprisonment of former Defense Intelligence Agency official Lawrence A. Franklin, who pleaded guilty to having passed on classified intelligence to the two lobbyists". I have not read that these staffers have been convicted at trial or pleaded guilty. They can't be sentenced until and unless a verdict of guilty is entered.
22. AIPAC has to go
Isaac C. ,   USA   (10.22.06)
AIPAC has to go. What else is it up to? Why Would the U.S. Attack Iran? http://www.whyattackiran.com/
23. Sam#18 Egypt and Jordan peace treaty

24. #18 Use Peackeeping Forces
Mark ,   USA   (10.22.06)
Mid-East Free Trade a business peace that provides economic growth will work
25. AIPA should be dismantled
Seth ,   NY, NY   (10.22.06)
No such organization should be allowed to opperate in the US. First espionage then this!. Anyone involved in illigal activity should be tried and AIPAC should be dismantled.
26. Investigate the State Department for supporting Arab terror.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.22.06)
Condi Rice sounds like a good start.

28. Mark USA
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (10.22.06)
I can't believe I find myself in agreement with you. Yes, the USA works to pit Israel and Arabs against each other in order to boost weapons exports and production. The USA's principle export is weaponry, followed by weapons-related technology. Sick.
29. screw the US anti semitism .. Anti semitism on the rise in
sharon ,   israel   (10.22.06)
