Ah, now this is progress - a set of arguments to counter! (Just remember this stuff so I don't have to keep repeating it - you can repeat my arguments to others instead.)
1) " the pervasive influence exerted on American policy by Jewish organisations such as the Bnai Brith, the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish National Fund and the United Jewish Appeal...apart from the hundreds of pro-Israel public action committees [PACs] registered under US federal law led by the leading Jewish political force in America, the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC]."
Response: the influence of the "Jewish lobby" does not only consist of votes. The power of AIPAC is to educate and reason with our elected representatives. We have a good command of the facts; senators and congressmen thank us for this as well as our advocacy.
What is wrong with this? Nothing at all. AIPAC contributes to informed decision-making.
As for the other Jewish organizations they have different agendas, not all Zionist. For example, ADL, the Anti-defamation League, is mostly concerned with the race extremism of white supremacists that can lead to violence or property crimes against minorities. It has teamed up with churches, mosques, and various police forces to track such things. B'nai Brith is a sort of local social organization for Jews, the JNF buys land from Arabs and plants trees in Israel....
You can't prove anything just by throwing out such names. Why should such accountability be demanded exclusively of Jewish organizations? That itself is anti-Semitic, is it not?
2)
Accusations of manipulating the Bible to support racism Zionism is nationalism, not racism. True or not, clarity is achieved by realizing such issues are red herrings.
3)
Some Jews detest Zionism Yes. Some do. Not just individuals but entire communities. Jews aren't all forced into one mold. The reasons I know of boil down to two: it is more comfortable for them not to think about Zionism, or else they feel they would exert more power over other Jews if Israel did not exist.
4) The only way to defeat the evil designs of Zionism is for the peace loving Jews, Christians and Muslims to forge an indivisible unity
As if Zionism is an "evil design" or that Zionists aren't peace-loving! What "evil design" could the designation of Palestine as the Jewish National Home encompass? Do Jews go to war for any reason other than self-defence? It's not like Iran or Pakistan or large and small Arab dictators, all of whom are most interested in empire-building.
Oh People of the Book! Let us come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." (3:64)
Something for everyone to consider, is that not so? Don't you think that by elevating the denunciation of Mohammed to the capital crime of blasphemy Pakistanis are collectively guilty of the crime of idolatry?
I don't have any hate against muslims ..as I explained in my earlier post in some other thread. Extremist muslims are a world wide phenomenon. they justify the act of violence on the name of religion..I have never observed this thing with any other religion.
