Commandment XI - Cut the Israel Lobby Down to Size
Let's face it: For as long as the Israel Lobby controls America's Middle Eastern policy and exerts undue influence over media coverage of the Middle East, none of the other commandments are going to work.
The humiliating reception Jimmy Carter received recently by Israeli leaders (who snubbed him and prevented him from visiting Gaza for fear he could be witness to the Israeli war crimes there) is but one example of how well-meaning American efforts for peace would be distorted by Lobby-influenced MSM.
On second thought, this may be simply a corollary to Commandment VI "Do not allow neoconservatives anywhere near Middle East policy."
