1. YO, WE DON'T NEED AIPAC
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (03.12.18)
We don't need no AIPAC, we have TUPAC .
2. Twisted logic
Michael ,   Raanana   (03.12.18)
This article is an example of someone who uses twisted logic to understand realtionships.
I was at Aipac. The relationship between the United States and Israel could not be better.
Why? Because of the representation of Israel by Prime Minister Netanyahu and the support of President Trump for Israel.
obama was constantly working against israeli interests in support of the hegemony of genocidal Iran.
3. Alliance Talk Nonsense
Mark Sherry ,   USA   (03.12.18)
All American politicians talk about this fantasy alliance with Israel. It does not exist. There is only periodic cooperation. There is now an American anti-missile base in Israel. But Israel does not reciprocate.

When he was out of office, Netanyahu helped the Bush Administration sell the US Congress on the US war in Iraq. Israel did not agree and sent no troops in alliance. When Obama was POTUS, Netanyahu tried to sell the idea of a US war in Syria. Congress didn't like the idea. And Obama bowed to the will of Congress.

Now comes Netanyahu trying to sell the idea of a US war with Iran. Trump does not know that he has no authority to unilaterally start a war. But would IDF troops be along side American troops in alliance? or too busy elsewhere? Doubtful. Israel does not ally back.
4. Don't Make Us Laugh
World Citizen ,   the world   (03.12.18)
AIPAC and Likkud are what we, the cognoscenti, call blood brothers. Oh we have other names for the bonding of these organisations but they're not fit for polite conversation. The bottom line here is that AIPAC should be required to register as an agent of a foreign government.
5. Netanyahu endured years of Obama humiliations and won
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (03.12.18)
6. Unless AIPAC immediately repudiates 2 State Final Solution..
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.12.18)
Unless AIPAC immediately and clearly repudiates the abominable Two State Final Solution, which would turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp, it does not deserve a penny of support from anyone who loves Israel.
7. US Jewry doesn't even know there is a western wall plan
Mordechai   (03.12.18)
US Jewry doesn't even know there is a western wall plan. Most of them have never even heard the word haredi.

Annexing Judea and Samaria wouldn't destroy the zionist vision. Settling the land of Israel is the Zionist vision. Most American Jews would be equally horrified by their children moving to Tel Aviv as they would Ariel. If you told them Tel Aviv was a West Bank settlement they wouldn't know you were joking.
8. Yemini: you've got it exactly wrong. AIPAC = right-wing Jews
Rafi ,   US   (03.12.18)
Thirty years ago AIPAC and its board were moderate, mainstream... but those days have long since passed.

AIPAC is now a primary tool & apologist for Netanyahu govt. Even the right-wing concedes (or even boasts about) this.

Not clear where you're getting your info from... but its colossally WRONG!
9. Annexing Judea and Samaria and West Bank Is the solution
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton   (03.13.18)
Annexing Judea and Samaria and West Bank will not destroy the Zionist vision, in fact it will have Hashem's blessing. This land was given to our father Abraham, as a eternal inheritance, not an inch of the promised land should be given in exchange for peace. I believe US Jewry will come to Israel's aid if a war breaks out. Precious blood Israeli blood was shed when war was fought, 6 day war, and Yom Kippur war the land should never have been given away in exchange for peace. Peace will only come from a position of strength. The eternal covenant is/was with Abraham and his seed , Isaac, Jacob , David. I am sure it will come to pass US Jewry will come to know Western Wall plan. Wake up my dear brethren be Zealous for Hashem and his promises,
