🧵The Jewish Zionist lobby is effectively allowed a veto over the candidacy of anyone running for political office in the West based on how pro-Israel they are, how? They openly discuss their tactics and game plan, in their own publications. A thread: 1/15⬇️

''The first principle of Jewish political action is to ensure that we are not seen to be in the pocket of either party, but rather stand ready to transfer our allegiance to the party with the more supportive policy''. They play both sides for their distinct interests. 2/15⬇️

''American Jewish power stems only in part from the Jewish vote. A more significant component of that power now is Jewish political action in the form of fundraising and involvement in the grassroot organisations''[...] ''Just as American Jews organised against Findley'' 3/15⬇️

In 1981 the 'get-tough' school of thought in dealing with then PM Begin (fmr. terrorist leader of the Irgun), was gaining strength in the US. Lead by Paul Findley a Republican Congressman of Illinois. A full on offensive against a US Rep. on behest of Israel followed: 4/15⬇️

''If this PAC did not exist we would be at the mercy of whoever is the President or in the Cabinet of the United states.'' [...] ''For example, in Illinois we are supporting Durbin against Findley who has been an enemy of Israel and our American allied interests.'' 5/15⬇️

In '82 when Findley was up for reelection he was marked as an enemy of Israel, and Jewish PACs, which go under unassuming names, ''pumped $104,325 into an obscure House race in downstate Illinois''. In a district with less than 2000 Jews and 80% was money from the outside. 6/15⬇️

''You develop personal relationships with these decision-makers while they are still students, before they become policy-makers.'' [...] ''This was why Congress had voted consistently in favour of Israel, ''because they fear the power of the American Jewish community.'' 7/15⬇️

''We have double the stakes as Jews — one, protection of our democratic society, and, two, issues of particular concern to us.'' 150 AIPAC-trained students (who drove two and a half hours to Springfield, Illinois) were used to help defeat US Rep. Findley, 'Israel's foe' 8/15⬇️

The targeting of critics of Israel, as it still does, had a chilling effect. '$510 million in economic and military loans proposed by the Reagan Administration for Israel were converted into outright grants'[...] ''I feel very good about the whole thing'' [ED at AIPAC] 9/15⬇️

Unseating Americans that put their own country before the Zionist state is a ''do or die contest'' according to Zionist Jews. Yet they: ''don't like to be identified as a one issue voter'' and call anyone that has a problem with it an 'ant*-s*m*te' or 'Israel obsessed' 10/15⬇️

After they 'reorganized' the Congress to Israel's liking: ''Reagan's Republican administration is likely to have a tough time if it tries to lean too hard on Israel in the next two years'' Even Israel's so called 'friendships' in the US are parasitic and a one-way street 11/15⬇️

Though they welcome alliances with Christian Zionists they carefully wield this dynamic to Israel's benefit in such a way that the Christian element will never truly prevail or benefit. They see their Christianness as a bigger threat to their Jewishness than ant*-sem*t*sm 12/15⬇️

They don't mind people they call 'low iq ant*sem*tes', a real threat to their interests is a politically mature organized focused and cohesive group of 'ordinary' Americans going after a consensus goal (e.g. putting America first) in synch with concerns shared by millions 13/15⬇️

They prefer voters to ''have other matters on their mind'' and be distracted by things like the World Series. So that when people try to politically organize against Israel to put America first, they can be picked off one by one and called divisive, feds and 'ant*sem*tes' 14/15⬇️

Above all they don't want their tactics of: playing both sides, fundraising to take out their opponents, maximizing students' power levels and grassroots organizing etc. , to be mirrored if it's not in Israel's favour. 15/15🧵🔚 Paul Findley on the Israel lobby, in 2004⬇️
