Going back some decades, my mother now deceased, was an anti-Zionist along with her Jewish pal, Josephine. I really didn't understand what they were talking about,  but I understood enough to make me scared, since both concluded there would be wars in the Middle East that could go nuclear as a result. Once a cousin referenced the fact that my mother was an anti-Zionist and quietly made the assumption she was anti-Jewish. His position is absurd, since she was an anti-Zionist because of the possibility of a severe conflict erupting in the ME as a result of Zionism, and she was right, not to mention her friend wasn't a self hating Jew, and my mom didn't hate her either. John I don't think the average person is going to feel that all Jews are Zionists, or that all Zionists support Netanyahu's position, and they know he is an obnoxious fanatic. What he is doing is destroying Israel because many will not forget the carnage he has implemented, but I don't think most people are going to hold Jews in general responsible for his actions. I hold the democrats responsible but the republicans are right behind them in supporting this despicable atrocity. Yes, AIPAC has to go, and the reason for that is they have too much influence in the US and politicians don't stand their ground since American politicians have sold their souls for money and power and the Lobby has lots, and lots of that and to a great extent influence our politics in a way they should not. 

I hear Netanyahu wants aljazeera gone, no guessing as to why since pictures say a thousand words. Israel I think will pay dearly and if they had a better perspective on things they would be out in the streets every day calling for Netanyahu's ouster. They, the people of Israel will pay a very heavy price, I'm sure. I don't think Jamenta is asking you to give your life in defense of Jews, or Israel. Did you hear Michigan Tim Walberg, who called for nuking Palestine? “It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima,” he said. He was a former pastor. What a perverse understanding of the teachings of Jesus, and I think he saved his comment for Easter,

I know where his money, that is Walberg's money, comes from and for most in our government official, ergo the control Israel has over our policies which can even determine election outcomes. I don't reference the Jewish people as the The Jews since it has an underlying prejudicial tone to it, and would be true if you referenced any group like that. Judaism does not conflate to Zionism. Listen John no need to worry because most Americans don't even know what Zionism is.
