AIPAC's Weird Agenda

"AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is undermining attempt to financially isolate terror supporters."

On the face of it, it seems preposterous. But I don't think Caroline Glick has asked the right questions.

First, she needs to follow the money. Who is invested in these companies? Who profits? Are big Israeli financial interests profiting from these deals?

Second, what would happen to Israel if terrorism actually stopped? The perceived mortal threat facing Israel, surrounded as it is by hostile countries is instrumental in retaining its special status in American Foreign Policy—and financial support to the tune of billions a year.

If terrorism were actually significantly reduced, there is a chance Israel would become just another tiny country, left to its own devices to survive or fail, without significant help from America. They stand to lose a serious amount of coin.

I'm not saying most Israelis would prefer terrorism to a less profitable peace. I'm suggesting that the Powers That Be aren't necessarily working for the true good of the people, but are more interested in their own agenda, and their own enrichment. They wouldn't be the first, and they won't be the last.

AIPAC's arguments seem to be specious and confounding to everyone involved with this issue. That screams "hidden agenda". When things don't make sense, there's usually some information that's missing, some secret facts left out of the argument.

We need to find out what they are.
