Pissing in the Wind and Complaining about the Rain
Let's see ... if Walt and Mearsheimer (sp?) say the so-called pro-Israel lobby is too powerful, they must be anti-Semitic. So if AIPAC says they are all powerful, does that make AIPAC anti-Semitic?
Memo to the Jewish right: stop pissing in the wind and then complaining about the rain. If you act exactly according to anti-Semitic stereotypes, you can't complain about people accusing you of acting in a stereotypical manner. Or maybe that's the defense? If you're so over the top that any criticism of your behavior looks like it's lifted from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, then you can deflect any criticism by labeling your critics as anti-Semites?
In any case, this behavior can't be good for the rest of us Jews or even for the Zionist cause these people claim to back. But we've been through this time and time again, nu? why should things change now?

On another note -- what do you wish someone today? "I wish you that all your Assemblies today be truly and fully Solemn?" I like the line in the Musaf service today: "An joyful holiday of solemn assembly" ...
