On the other hand, there are many Christians who are strong supporters of Israel and help maintain the American stance in favor of Israel. There is no doubt that money plays a very significant role in encouraging politicians to maintain pro-Israel stances. But, to suggest that money is coming strictly from Jews suggests a major misunderstanding of reality -- as is the suggestion that all American Jews support that stance.
Jeff, perhaps she knows something we don't know. She has been a journalist for a long time, so she might know a thing or two. I believe that Zionists have too much political control in the US. I am not anti Semitic, and I am very critical of the concept of Zionism.
