The Pro-Israel Lobby Is Opposing Rand Paul's Amendment To Block Weapons Sales To Egypt

The pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) actually opposed Paul’s amendment. An AIPAC official explained to The Daily Caller News Foundation that the committee feared that the measure, if passed, would diminish U.S. influence in Egypt.

Israel wields Bible's soft power as far afield as Brazil

Israel is ramping up its outreach to the growing numbers of evangelical Christians, particularly in the Global South, in order to build popular support for state policies.

Many of these influential Christians, brought over by the Chicago (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Chicago) branch of Israel (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Israel)’s Ministry of Tourism, plan to bring their many followers here – or already have. They are part of a growing band of Christians around the world who see support for Israel as a divine calling, some of whom are motivated by apocalyptic urgency.

Increasingly, Israel is not only cultivating their love of the Holy Land but also courting their political support, with some proponents calling such faith-based diplomacy the most powerful weapon in Israel’s diplomatic arsenal – though its precise capabilities and range remain to be fully proven.

“You folks here are the best offense and defense we could ever have,” Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Nir+Barkat) told an overflow crowd at the seventh annual Night to Honor Our Christian Allies, held last month at the city’s prestigious King David Hotel. “Enjoy the city of Jerusalem … and go back home as strong ambassadors of the state of Israel and the city of Jerusalem."

While this largely evangelical movement is most well organized in the US (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/United+States), its most rapid growth is coming from developing countries like Brazil (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Brazil) and Nigeria (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Nigeria), which have not traditionally supported the Jewish state. Israel, very much conscious of the welcome support this could yield in forums like the United Nations (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/United+Nations), is tapping into the shared religious heritage of Judaism and Christianity to boost everything from tourism to Israel’s standing on the world stage.

"There is a new dynamic taking place in our world where [Christian supporters] are growing in a dramatic way, who are standing with the nation of Israel like never before,” said Jürgen Bühler, executive director of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, which has expanded to 80 branches around the world since its inception in 1980. “I believe this meeting today in Jerusalem in a way symbolizes, encapsulates, this dynamic movement that is taking place, that a new breed of Christianity is growing up which will stand with the nation of Israel no matter what."

[ChumpDumper]

it is documented that AIPAC supported the foreign aid to Egypt.As they should. As should Israel.

[Wild Cobra]

We shouldn't sell weapons in a war zone unless we are clearly backing one side. We have already been backing the wrong side.

[ChumpDumper]

We shouldn't sell weapons in a war zone unless we are clearly backing one side. We have already been backing the wrong side.Israel?

[Wild Cobra]

Seriously Chump?

How can you say something so dumb. I thought you were smarter than that.

Of course Israel would oppose this stupid amendment.
First off, AIPAC is not Israel. Any idea what Isreal thinks about it? I'll bet you don't.

Now by backing the wrong side, I mean the "Arab Spring." They are as bad or worse than those we are helping them oust.

[Wild Cobra]

the current Egyptian government is just looking for an excuse to attack Israel I think. We should not give them better weapons to do so with. With such a threat, we should not give them anything at all.

[ChumpDumper]

Seriously Chump?

How can you say something so dumb. I thought you were smarter than that.

First off, AIPAC is not Israel. Any idea what Isreal thinks about it? I'll bet you don't.Why hold back? Tell us all the differences between AIPAC and the government of Israel and the reasons for those differences. Thanks in advance.


Now by backing the wrong side, I mean the "Arab Spring." They are as bad or worse than those we are helping them oust.In what way?

Why do you personally care what happens to Israel so much?

[Wild Cobra]

AIPAC is an American pro Israeli group. Not an Israeli pro Israel group.

[ChumpDumper]

AIPAC is an American pro Israeli group. Not an Israeli pro Israel group.So you can't tell me what the difference in their policies are?

Ok.

[Wild Cobra]

So you can't tell me what the difference in their policies are?

Ok.
It doesn't matter. They do not speak for Israel.

[boutons_deux]

It doesn't matter. They do not speak for Israel.

Of course AIPAC does, that's exactly why AIPAC exists. Are you saying AIPAC NEVER speaks against Israel? if so, when,where did AIPAC speak against Israel?

[Wild Cobra]

Of course AIPAC does, that's exactly why AIPAC exists. Are you saying AIPAC NEVER speaks against Israel? if so, when,where did AIPAC speak against Israel?
I will agree they often speak with Israel, but they do not speak for Israel!

That would be like saying Michael Moore speaks for president Obama.

[ChumpDumper]

It doesn't matter. They do not speak for Israel.So you don't even know Israel's position on this subject.

OK.

[Wild Cobra]

I didn't say I know their position. You don't either. I'll bet they don't agree with AIPAC.

[ChumpDumper]

I didn't say I know their position. You don't either. I'll bet they don't agree with AIPAC.How much would you bet?

[Galileo]

As they should. As should Israel.

If you want to send your own money to Egypt, go ahead and do it rockstar.

[ChumpDumper]

If you want to send your own money to Egypt, go ahead and do it rockstar.Who said I wanted to?

[Galileo]

Who said I wanted to?

You did, you said Egypt needs foreign aid. Well, then send em some of your money but get your paws away from me. You sound like a socialist.

[ChumpDumper]

You did, you said Egypt needs foreign aid. Well, then send em some of your money but get your paws away from me. You sound like a socialist.Actually, I said no such thing.

You're a liar.

[Galileo]

Actually, I said no such thing.

You're a liar.

No you said it, you are a liar and you have the burden of proof. I suspect you may be a MOSSAD agent.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I say you said but it is your burden to prove you did not say it.

So Galileo, are you an an American citizen?

[ChumpDumper]

No you said it, you are a liar and you have the burden of proof. I suspect you may be a MOSSAD agent.Nope, your accusation.

Prove it.

Prove I'm a Mossad agent while you're at it.

[Galileo]

Nope, your accusation.
