There’s proof of Israel lobby theory in politicians’ readiness to end aid to Egypt http://mondoweiss.net/2011/02/theres-proof-of-israel-lobby-theory-in-politicians-readiness-to-end-aid-to-egypt.html
Did you notice how quickly politicians put American aid to Egypt on the table during the Mubarak crackdown? Then-Obama-spokesman Robert Gibbs said that the billions in aid were at stake, and I believe Howard Berman did too. Many politicians questioned the aid, media people too.You never hear any politician questioning aid to Israel, and no mainstream media figures. No, that is the sole province of grassroots campaigns. Even when Israel kills and maims Americans who are protesting conditions there, let alone kills nonviolent Palestinian protesters, no one talks about taking Israel’s aid away.
