Your Morning Quiz Posted by Heather Hurlburt

Slate has a quiz up, "Are You an Anti-Semite:  Take This Test and Find Out," which manages to be both knowing and funny about the various sore points Rosa raised last week, administering tweaks across the spectrum.  I was delighted to see that someone had found a way to shine light without adding heat... until I got to the end and saw that the author had felt it necessary to use a pseudonym.

Shine light? I got a very high score because I object to the brutal treatment of Palestinians and Lebanese which has garnered Israel dozens of UN condemnations. The Israel PAC--AIPAC--has extraordinary control of US foreign policy via fawning subjects like Cheney, Clinton and Lieberman and its members spy on the US. As for the holocaust, as Amahdinejad says, get over it already. That's no reason to kill Palestinians. The Palestinian situation, which has been continually in the news for years, could be solved in a heartbeat if we disregarded the Israel PAC and did the right thing.

Here's the real reason for this AIPAC-sponsored biased appearing at this time:

Proposed Left-Wing Jewish Lobby Worries Some Israeli Analysts

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Reports of plans to set up a new, left-wing Jewish group seeking to lobby the U.S. government on Mideast policy have worried some in Israel, who fear it could undermine the existing pro-Israel lobby in Washington and harm Israeli security.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the key pro-Israel lobby in the U.S., says its role for more than 50 years has been "to help make Israel more secure by ensuring that American support remains strong."

Reports have emerged over recent months about meetings between representatives of liberal Jewish groups in the U.S. to examine the possibility of forming a new lobby.

The reports indicated that among those considering funding the initiative is billionaire George Soros, a harsh critic of Israeli policies.

Three main groups, all liberal, were said to be involved in the discussions - the Israel Policy Forum, Americans for Peace Now and Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace.

And although no new lobby has yet been formed, some analysts in Israel are concerned about the impact such a group might have on U.S. support for Israel.
