What nonesense responses! Yes, the Jewish lobby in D.C. is one of the strongest lobby. However, the U.S. gets a lot in return for $3 billion a year it gives to Israel. Lets also remember that the U.S. gives $2.5 billion to Egypt, $1.5 billion to Jordan, and have allocated $80 billion to Iraq.
No one will give you something for nothing, no matter how nice you are. There is a very strong symbiotic relationship between the U.S. and Israel, as there is between the U.S. and other countries. The bind is strong because Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East. The bias of some of these responses smell of strong and blind prejudice!

It's VERY powerful... the $Millions of dollars in bribes the wealthy East Coast Jews give every year to the Washington Politicians has returned $Billions of dollars in support money for Israel... and they even get to order the politicians around, to boot... you can't beat a deal like that.

They are so powerful that Joe Lieberman won his primary against a left-wing billionaire nut in Connecticut.

I do not know for a fact,but,Jews always vote,as good citizens should. Therefore,those who vote get their way and their lobby probably is powerful.
