    They old "Jews control everything" you even managed to sneak banking in there. You sound like Julius Streicher himself

    I'm pretty pro Israel but you've got to admit that the disproprtionate prominence and influence of "Likudism" in the US govt. politics and media is a very real phenomenon. It is true that some of this is due to christian fundies but to deny that "AIPAC power" is real and to cry anti semitism at anyone who brings it up only has the effect of providing cover to the real anti semites by suppressing honest discussion.
