GOVERNMENT (PT. 1)
1983, p. 26] “Since Brandeis,” notes Kevin Avruch about the Zionist currents in
American government, “the Zionist movement in America functioned effectively
as banker for the world [Zionist] movement and as a fulcrum for the political leverage
sometimes needed to mobilize American presidents and public opinion in
support of the Jewish cause.” [AVRUCH, K., 1981, p. 32] “
By 1956, American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles complained that “I
am aware of how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign
policy not approved by the Jews.” [SORIN, p. 216] On another occasion, long
before Jews had built their modern political machine, he complained about the
“terrific control the Jews have over the news media and the barrage which the
Jews have built up on Congressmen … I am very much concerned over the fact
that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and making
it almost impossible to get Congress to do anything they don’t approve of. The
Israeli Embassy is practically dictating to Congress through influential Jewish
people in the country.” [FINDLEY, DEL, p. 105]
In 1984, Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, complained that
“I’ve never seen a President – I don’t care who he is – stand up to [the
Jews] … They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going
on all the time. I got to the point where I wouldn’t write anything
down. If the American people understood what a grip these people have
got on our government, they would rise up in arms.” [CURTISS, p. 267]
Another former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General George J.
Brown, told an audience at Duke University that “[the Jewish lobby] is so strong
you wouldn’t believe now. We have the Israelis coming to us for equipment. We
say we can’t possibly get the Congress to support that. They say, ‘Don’t worry
about the Congress.’ This is somebody from another country, but they can do
it.” [CURTISS, p. 267] Brown’s comments almost cost him his job when Jewish
lobbying groups attacked him with charges of anti-Semitism.
A distinction must be made, wrote Republican Senator Charles Matthias,
“between ethnicity, which enriches American life and culture, and organized
ethnic interest groups, which sometimes press causes that derogate from the
national interest.” American elected politicians, adds the senator, “have been
subjected to recurrent pressures from what has come to be known as the Israel
lobby.” [BLITZER, p. 134]
“During the 1944 presidential campaign,” notes Steven Spiegel, “[Franklin
D.] Roosevelt was pressured into promising to work for the establishment of Palestine
as a free and democratic Jewish commonwealth [i.e., modern Israel].”
[SPIEGEL, S., p. 12] “There were so many Jews in Roosevelt’s advisory entourage
– Samuel Rosenman, Benjamin Cohen, Felix Frankfurter, David Lilienthal,
Bernard Baruch, Anne Rosenberg, Sidney Hillman, and David Niles,” says
Jewish scholar Barnet Litvinoff, “as well [Louis] Brandeis, [Henry] Morgenthau
[Roosevelt’s Secretary of Treasury from 1933-45], and [Herbert] Lehman
[the governor of New York] – that many people believed that the President
himself must be descended from German Jews.” [LITVINOFF, S., p. 41] (“During
