And not all jewish. Zionism is for the benefit of Israel, no one else. Americans are indeed free to lobby as they choose, but this lobbying is solely aimed at diverting our assets to a foreign power. Furthur, I don't count any supporters of genocide amoung the nations friends, so I must view AIPAC with a jaundiced eye.
