Hark, my fellow Americans. This is amazing, and a sign of the sea change in Israel's image, and also a bit scary, too. Pat Meehan is a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania, 55, chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. In a post titled "Traveling to Israel" 10 days ago, he announced that he was headed to Israel (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:J-cVtm5Ph1QJ:www.meehanforcongress.com/traveling-to-israel+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&source=encrypted.google.com), on that trip "sponsored by the American Israel Education Fund," an arm of AIPAC.
Well, check out some of the 154 comments on his posting. Incredible. I went from the top, the most popular posts. People get it. I say scary, because there's so much unfocused rage here. Notice the anti-Semitism. New Jewsey. Another reason the media have an obligation to start talking about the Israel lobby, because some people really do want to set up guillotines. Thanks to Annie.
[Michael Rivero] .... No government can serve two masters, and a government that serves Israel cannot serve the American people. A friend to Israel is no friend of America. America needs leaders who will put America first, second, and third. Please remember who you are supposed to work for and represent. This election I am making it my one mission that every politician who screams about how much they love Israel will be voted out of office, so that they free to go live there for the rest of their lives.

Well, it's not like you have anything more important to do in your own country. We're so lucky to have misrepresentatives like you that put the agenda of another country before the needs of your own people who elected you to office and pay your salary. We know you need a vacation from accepting campaign contributions from mega-corporations, Wall St and Israel. We will be happy to accommodate you all. All the dual citizens, Israel-firsters, endless war and occupation supporters, transnationalists, open border...

I agree with you fully Mike Rivero! I don't know how someone could get elected to kindergarten dogcatcher who could not see the obvious conflict of interest in going to israel-----free or not. Bad (good?) things happen on those trips. NJ Governor McGreevey got a gay lover who turned out to be a mossad agent on one of those trips! McGreevey loved his mossad sexionage lover so much he brought him back to NJ to make him Home Land Insecurity Director of New Jewsey!...

Why are you sucking up to an apartheid state like Israel. They treat others as second class citizens. The Israeli government is racist. They put Palestinians in the same kind of "townships" that the South African government put the black citizens in. Israel has nuclear weapons but will not acknowledge it and will not sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Agreement. They refuse to allow inspection of their nuclear facilities in accordance with international law. No one can serve two governments. To which do you owe allegiance.

I find it despicable that members of this government spend time fawning over Israel and sucking the teat of AIPAC when veterans in this country are sleeping in the street, infrastructure is crumbling, and jobs are being offshored faster than you can say "your unemployment benefits are running out next week." Your allegiance to a foreign power whose interests are not those of the US is treasonous. Out with you!

Ron Paul did not go to israel, he is too concerned about our own country. Imagine that, actually doing the job the people voted him in for.
another:
Your trip to Israel is despicable and proves you and others (pretty mouch our entire Congress) are slaves to Israel and their nefarious lobbies. Why don't you spend the time speaking with your constituents and figuring how to help America rather than the racist, warmongering ethnocractic nation, Israel. Public patience has run out and Congress has been exposed for it really is....a puppet for Israel.
