01-29-06 - U.S. Jewish leaders consider financially assisting fired AIPAC officials


01-29-06 - U.S. Jews start thinking seriously about the AIPAC case Regardless, some U.S. Jewish leaders convened this week and decided that the time has come for action.

Many thought that the prosecution was not justified and that its motivations are extraneous - the power wars of Washington and perhaps also a bit of anti-Semitism, or at least a desire to humiliate the pro-Israel lobby and damage its power.....Therefore, said the head of one of the major Jewish organizations, it is not AIPAC that should be attacked. A large majority of the Jewish community is interested in defending it, even if it is sometimes not pleased with its policy. "It is necessary to attack the prosecution and the case," It couldn't be that somebody broke the law? It has to be anti-Semitism!!
