Why are American Congressmen/gals so afraid to critisize the Zionist Jews?

Question

I always see the chivering in their pants about to urinate on themselves whenever they are questioned about anything derrogatory about Israel.

Answer 1

Because The Zionists have all the money.

Answer 2

The Jews have been persecuted for so long -- three thousand years that we know about -- that when they found a country where they could safely organize to resist this persecution they did so. (In Europe up to the XVIII Century a Jewish political organization would have been treated as a bunch of plotters and put down by force.) This organization, they found, also worked to raise money and turn out votes and kvetch to the newspapers. Politicians are very careful about annoying voters, especially the ones that write to the newspapers and contribute to campaigns.

This is a relatively new development. Read Mark Twain on the Jews and you'll notice that he got a letter from one who found he was being hassled even though he kept out of politics. Mark scolded him ("what right have you to take no interest in your country?!") and pointed to the example of the Irish, who had already learned to work together to make politicians behave. (The Irish are almost as influential as the Jews, but they've taught people not to make fun of St. Patrick's Day.)

Heck, read Mark Twain anyway. He's good.

Answer 3

Because Israel is doing nothing wrong.
It is occupying the territories because if they pull out, they will be attacked, like we have seen in Gaza and Lebanon.
It is only attacking terrorists, that hide behind innocent civilians.

Hezbollah, on the other hands, is a recognized terrorist organization in the US and the EU and many other countries/unions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah.

It seems like nobody knows that in the last few days Hezbollah fired more than 300 rockets into Israel, targeting civilians only:
"Ten Israeli soldiers were killed, two captured, and six more wounded.[1] 12 civilians have been killed, Eight in the Haifa region on 16 July, and another 500 civilians were injured, 56 seriously.[85][86]. The INS Hanit was fired upon and heavily damaged. The Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post reports three IDF Sailors missing, one confirmed dead.[87]"

Answer 4

Interesting, I never see any shivering or urinating from any US Congress member. I DO see that they support Israel. You gotta face it, Israel stands alone in the middle east. They are a country surrounded by other countries that hate them for no other reason than the fact that they are Jewish instead of Muslim. Because of that they have been bullied and picked on for decades. I'm glad they have a friend in the US. They deserve to be able to live in peace just like everyone else.

Answer 5

Israel is a great country and friend of the US. We will never forget that millions of Jews died at the hands of the Nazis. The Islamic extremists would like to do the same thing.

Answer 6

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD

Dear World,

I understand that you are upset by us, here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. (Outraged?)

Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Today, it is the "brutal repression of the Palestinians"; yesterday it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War and the Sinai campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.

Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you.

We upset a German people who elected Hitler and upset an Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians and Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the history of world upset.

We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us.

For centuries, we upset a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions, and we upset the arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit.

And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you (and thus love you) - and have you love us and so, we decided to come home - home to the same land we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.

Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please.

Having left you and your pogroms and inquisitions and crusades and holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state, we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East

Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The "radical" Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.

Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel.

In 1920 and 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron.Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron in 1929.

Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967?

And when you, dear world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a "Palestinian State" alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried "no" and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that "upset" caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of "upset" then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who ­ when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state -attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "itbach-al-yahud" (Massacre the Jew!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not "repress" them.

Dear world, you stood by during the holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres.

You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well ­ think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

Answer 7

By them being Jewish, there is still sympathy towards them. If you manage to have the balls to critique them like the average person, you would be labelled anti-Semetic. So the last thing anyone wants to do is question anything anyone Jewish does.

Answer 8

Two words: Voting Block.

Answer 9

It's a voting block with a great deal of money. I have never understood why they vote Democratic, though. I would think they had better sense.
