Stephen Lendman of Chicago wrote;   “AIPAC is an unregistered foreign agent. It calls itself "America's Pro-Israeli Lobby." It's represented Israeli interests since 1953. Virtually no one in Congress confronts it. Doing so is a career-ender. It has enormous influence over US Middle East policies affecting Israel, including war and peace.

In addition, Israel has been active in the  Kurdistan region of Iraq and in the Republic of Azerbaijan , encouraging and supporting small separatist movements among Iranian ethnic groups, such as the Kurds and Azeris. But the most devastating part of the undeclared war on Iran is the tough econ...

I recently watched an interesting discussion on the Aljazeera (A news station I rarely watch due to its affinity with anti Iranian Royal families around the Persian Gulf) having come across it whilst zapping through Olympic reports on the TV, I was immediately hooked since Galloway was a participant . The subject of the discussion, was also an issue usually used and abused by the British intelligence community in other multi-cultural and multi-religious communities or countries as a tool of politics.
