This is a Republican talking about the methods and impacts of the pro-Israeli occupation lobby working Capitol Hill. It's sad. I'm grateful to him for speaking out.

At first I was worried that it might have some tinge of Israel-hatred or antisemitism. But then I saw MJ Rosenberg of the Israel Policy Forum linking to it. That's a kosher seal of approval in my book.

(On April 7, 2009, a public hearing on the "True Costs and Benefits of US Military Aid to the Middle East, 1980-2010)," was held on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C.)
