[WCUSP] Lobby Watch

[Kate Zaidan]

Hi all,

I think it's good that we continue to have conversations about the role 
of the various lobbies and use this analysis to inform our strategy.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to know exactly how much money AIPAC and 
other pro-Israel lobbies mobilized and I came across this website. I 
didn't take too much time to research, but I think it would be good for 
someone to look at this controversial issue in terms of  numbers, 
because we all know...money is power.

Interestingly, AIPAC isn't listed as one of the top lobbyist, however, 
AIPAC might use firms that have more influence.

Peace,
Kate

The Israeli prime minister in a live speech has just said that they are fighting the enemies of peace of Lebanon. I see. So those children that have been incinerated in Lebanon by Israeli bombing must have been enemies of peace. I will try to inform their parents.
