mantiq al-tayr: lobby denial

1. Hey everyone, it is now safe to speak out against the Israeli Lobby again. It’s time to take the kid gloves off and really hammer away at it because, as Gary Wasserman so predictably tells us in Monday’s Jerusalem Washington New York Times Post, the Lobby doesn’t really exist anyway. So how could there ever be any repercussions? And the beauty of the argument Wasserman makes is that the AIPAC spy scandal proves that the Lobby is a figment of the anti-Semitic imagination of the FBI. Therefore, one can only conclude that to maintain the thesis that the Lobby actually exists in a meaningful way is to believe that the United States didn’t go to the moon, that OJ didn’t do it, that Elvis is still with us, and that Jesus Christ will return at the end of time. I can tell you this, the Lobby sure as hell doesn’t believe in that last one. Many Muslims do, of course, but I digress.
