Peter Oborne, excoriating scourge of the British Political Class and conservative opponent of its wars, will use a television program tomorrow to break one of Britain’s great political taboos, namely that against mentioning the existence of our very own Israel Lobby. It will be interesting to see how far Channel Four, which is publicly owned though funded by advertizing, will let him go.
The Israel Lobby accounts for the overwhelming majority of newspapers sold in this newsprint-addicted country. It terrifies the life out of the broadcast media with its screaming about anti-Semitism if anything other than its own view is ever presented. It provided from the criminal sale of seats in the legislature much of the money necessary to create New Labour. It dominates Cameron’s Tories. And it remains much stronger in the Liberal Democrats than is often assumed. Most significantly of all, it embodies, just as it does in America, a secular Ashkenazi nationalist position which is not held by most Israelis, fewer and fewer of whom fall into all three of those categories.
How far are we paying for it? Oborne may be able to tell us. I very much hope that he is and does. But we know that the American taxpayer is ultimately footing the bill for the maintenance on your soil of, in such forms as AIPAC and the ADL, the largest spy network maintained by any country on the soil of any other, to which Presidential candidates are even expected to go and pay court. Will Obama bother to turn up in 2012? What would happen if he didn’t? The Christian Zionists (by no means all of the white Evangelicals, quite a number of whom voted for him anyway) would never vote for him, no matter what, so he wouldn’t be losing anything there. And the Jews, many of whom in any case do not agree with the Mossad position, mostly live in safely blue states.
At their respective heights, the British Empire and the Soviet Union ran large and powerful spy networks in the United States. But they were real powers. And, courtly as Britons and Russians can both be, we and they certainly did not have the sheer effrontery to charge you for the privilege of hosting those networks. Oh, the shame, the shame!

Israeli network is not spy one. Spy is covert by definition, and aimed at obtaining the information. Israeli network, on the contrary, is exactly the opposite – it strives to achieve full and open domination, and de-facto, turn US into Israel colony. More proper term is invader and conqueror, with the only difference being that the weapons are truly 21th century ones – money, diplomacy, media – rather than obsolete tanks and bullets.
I don’t see it that way. The Israel lobby is basically focused on 2 things, diluting America’s European and Christian demographics through mass immigration(where Jews feel safer) and of course Israel. These are its 2 faces and ultimate goals.
Hence the need to maintain a liberal leftist society and then an agressive foreign policy through the liberal hawks in the democratic party or the neocons in the Republican party. Meanwhile they want the exact opposite for Israel.

When AIPAC obtained a classified gov’t report containing trade secrets of major US industries, that was a covert op.
It is the nature of covert operations and espionage that one does not know its full extent. But in Israel’s case, one can discern the outlines.
And it is truly vast.
Yes, Bigmo, it is certainly striking how the Israel Lobby in America is hysterically hostile to American adoption of Israeli-style economic or socio-economic policies.
Great article, David!
