On Wednesday, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) 2% became the 34th Democrat in the U.S. Senate to support the Iran deal, handing President Barack Obama a veto-proof majority.
In so doing, Mikulski drove the final nail into the coffin of the pro-Israel lobby, centered around the once-vaunted American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which had vowed in July to fight the deal “with the entirety of our institutional resources.”
AIPAC’s loss proves that the so-called “Israel lobby” was never as strong as antisemitic conspiracy theorists said it was. But AIPAC was weakened even further, and deliberately, by the Obama administration, which cultivated a George Soros-funded left-wing alternative called J Street, which promoted appeasement with Iran and was inspired by John J. Mearsheimer and Steven M. Walt’s controversial 2007 book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.
The left-wing cohort of foreign policy professionals infesting the Obama administration, the State Department, and the Democratic constellation of think tanks in Washington takes The Israel Lobby as gospel truth. Now they have slayed their dragon, which turned out to be something of a rubber chicken. They did so with ample help from self-seeking Jewish leaders in major community organizations and within the upper echelons of the Democratic Party.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
No doubt one of his proudest achievements.
Give Iran billions and billions to support their terrorism while letting them inspect their own nuke sites.
Quite a deal

He couldn’t have done it without help from his enablers and his guardians, the GOP.
huh?
Just horrible.
American Jews were very instrumental in getting Obama elected and re-elected. If I recall, Soros is Jewish.
I live in an inner-ring Philly suburb that is 25 percent Jewish. There were Obama lawn signs in Hebrew in 2008 but much less noticable support in 2012, but by then it was too late.
“..J Street” which promoted appeasement with Iran and was inspired by John J. Mearsheimer and Steven M. Walt’s controversial 2007 book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.”
First I’ve ever heard about this “connection.” Sometimes I wonder if Pollack himself even believes the stuff he puts out.
The GOP voted for the rule change that allowed for 34 senators to determine that this passed.
All U.S. Senators except Cotton voted for the Corker bill 99-1 which made the Iran deal unstoppable. (Senator Cotton being the lone sane vote).
The Corker bill made it so only 34 out of 100 senators have to support the Iran deal for it to pass
I think what I said is pretty damn clear.
No, the GOP senators killed it by removing its treaty consent power from its arsenal. The game is rigged, despite the howling of all the phonies now.
Is there NO facet of US policy, domestic or foreign, where that Nazi collaborator has his tentacles?
Theirs' is a well thought out plan. They have worked on it for years and now it is here. In the end, Israel will have to act, regardless of the pressure of their American enemies.
There will be so much blood on the hands of Kerry, odumbo, Jarrett, and all the dems for generations to come. It will never wash off. It’s a permanent stain.
For Iran to get their $150B released now is like free money to them that will be used to fund terrorist activities against the west forever.
Why do democrats hate America and the west so much?
Because DIMs are self-loathing and guilty that they exist. If only they would off them selves rather than trying to murder us all.
Because they hate the American idea. The only way to shove communism down our throats is to destroy all the things that the country represents. That includes the defense of Israel.
