Israel's  most ardent and powerful supporters in the US are not "smart,
insistent" jews (an historically sensitive and dangerously generalized
characterization).   The most powerful Zionists in the US are the
divisions of Christian evangelicals who think Israel's ascendancy in the
region is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.  We need to steer WAY
clear of anything that nuzzles up (even unintentionally) to the theses
in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Approximately 15% of all aid to Israel is re-cycled to K-Street lawyers,
lobbyists, pr folk and - most especially - congressmen's campaign funds,
particularly those who head up international committees. IOWs, not all
reasons for the support of  Israel are strategic. American Jews are
super-active politically (no average, white American ever pays much
attention to politics beyond local concerns - and that's part of the
national character, BTW), they are smart, organized and consistently
insistent.
