Money, contributors, and politics

It has been said that money is the driving force behind politics. It does not mean the right things gets done. It just means money can get things done. "Money is the mothers' milk of politics." Jesse Unruh 1922-1987

"While Jews account for only three percent of the population, they are concentrated in such key swing states as Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California. Financial contributions from Jewish donors account for as much as 20 percent of Republican campaign funds and as much as 40 percent of Democratic funds, according to a recent article by the Forward, the largest nationally circulated Jewish newspaper in the US." http://www.antiwar.com/ips/akhavi.php?articleid=12947

If 3% of the U.S. population is Jewish, that means there are about 9 million Jews in the U.S. Jews are politically active because of how they were treated in the past. It may be important to a small segment of the U.S. population to force the rest of the U.S. to support Israel, but it only harms the United States. (Osama Bin Laden said the attacks of 9/11 were due to the U.S. support for Israel.) A small group of people have contributed to the continued tensions in the world by influencing U.S. foreign policy. By using force to confiscate funds and resources of the majority of U.S. citizens in order to do the bidding of one of the smallest countries in the world, a military theocracy, Middle East peace is only a dream.

Presidential candidate Barrack Obama said at a speech on June 4, 2008 in front of AIPAC that he would pledge 3 billion dollars each year for the next ten years to Israel. It's not your money Mr. Obama. It's our money.

If 2 million Jews contribute $100 each to political candidates, that would be 200 million dollars! If they contribute $1000 each that would be TWO BILLION dollars! One can see why no political candidate, not one, has ever won an election, unless they support Israel.

This means the United States will always be fighting Israel's wars, even if it is not in the best interest of the United States.
