So tell us Steve Shaw, what does the "Jewish lobby" have to do with the topic of this thread? If you should be invoking any lobby that has some relevance to this thread maybe you could consider the Muslim lobby. It is considerably larger and more powerful than the "Jewish lobby" and it does harvest more in the way of financial largesse. Yes, Shaw, the US gives money to countries that kill people for being homosexuals. Shocking isn't it? Or does this this not trouble you as much as Israel receiving financial aid so it can defend itself from it's enemies who would like to see it wiped off the map?
