Watch Israel Funding Ron Kampeas JTA

Democrats raced to voice public outrage after Republicans in
the U.S.
House of Representatives voted two weeks ago against a foreign
operations bill with money for Israel. In private, however, some
Democrats are worrying that the next challenge to such funding measures
could come from their own ranks.
About 80 percent of House Republicans were part of the failed attempt
to defeat the $34 billion foreign operations bill, citing objections to
funding organizations that provide abortion services overseas, not the
$2.4 billion for Israel. Democrats are concerned that the precedent of
bloc voting against such funding measures could embolden members of
their own party to take similar steps.
Top Democrats say as many as 60 of their fellow party members in the
House have long complained about foreign aid and, in theory, could end
up forming a bipartisan majority with the 161 Republicans who rejected
the foreign operations bill. "The leap from 161 to 218 is scary to me,"
one Democrat said, speaking on the condition of anonymity about the
prospect of defeat for the bill.
[your tax dollars at work]
Such calculations are especially critical now that Israel is
renegotiating its aid package, with the hopes of increasing the $2.4
billion it receives annually from the United States by half a billion
dollars. And the debate over foreign aid comes as some Democrats are
also beginning to question whether the United States should be doing
more to support moderate Palestinians as they battle with Hamas and
seek to negotiate with Israel. The first test of how to deal with
Democratic challenges to the aid package came just a week after the
House vote when the Senate Appropriations Committee considered its own
funding measure.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of the committee's
foreign operations subcommittee, proposed across-the-board cuts and
other subtle
changes that could have hurt Israel's funding packages, sources say.
Democrats who spoke off the record said Leahy is among several
lawmakers in their party who generally support Israel, but is not
necessarily as committed to funding for the Jewish state as pro-Israel
groups, led by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Leahy also
managed to put into the Senate bill a provision ending a 13-year-old
ban on U.S. diplomats meeting Palestinians in Jerusalem, once
considered a critical bulwark against recognizing Palestinian claims to
the city.
"The committee felt that our diplomats should be in a position to make
their own judgments about where they meet and what they are able to
discuss with anybody in any country," a Leahy aide said. Observers said
some committee members were not aware of the language and that it may
be challenged when it comes before the full Senate.
Some Democrats worry that more of their own will feel more comfortable
breaking with the pro-Israel lobby on various points, blaming what they
describe as the failure of AIPAC to speak out against the Republican
leadership for instructing members to oppose the foreign operations
bill. "Republicans have turned around and said 'Israel? Um, not so
much," one Democrat said. "If some in our caucus think this isn't the
third rail, there are Democrats who can say 'not so much.' The
Democrats being discussed are not the ones on the margins who are well
known for their criticism of the U.S.-Israel relationship, such as the
Quixotic
perennial presidential peace candidate Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio
congressman, or U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii.
Instead, the potential defectors are lawmakers who at times have voiced
moderate, cautious criticisms of Jerusalem's actions but until now have
voted in favor of funding for Israel. They include the chairman of the
appropriations committee, Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, as well as
Reps. Betty McCollum of Minnesota and David Price of North Carolina.
Democrats who spoke to JTA stressed two points: The Democrats in
question are not beyond suasion; it's less a matter of having lost them
on the funding issue than having to spend a little extra time and
energy winning their support. In some cases, potential Democratic
objections to foreign aid might have nothing to do with Israel. Some
"Blue Dog," or conservative, Democrats trend isolationist and want to
redirect foreign funds stateside. Other Democrats want to register
protest votes against what they believe is America's under funding of
Africa and other impoverished regions. Finally, regaining both houses
of Congress for the first time since 1994 has led many Democrats in
power to reassess congressional priorities, including Israel.
In the Senate, all eyes are focused on Leahy. According to observers,
Leahy
last week attempted to introduce a 0.1 percent levy on defense grants
that
would be spent monitoring how the allocations were spent The concern:
Making certain that the United States does not end up funding human
rights abuses, a cause Democrats, particularly Leahy, have favored
since the Iran-Contra scandals of the 1980s. The problem: Even 0.1
percent amounts to a considerable chunk $2.4 million of the
$2.4
billion Israel receives in defense cash from the United States. The
outcome: Israel, Egypt and Colombia were exempted from the
across-the-board levy. Pro-Israel lobbyists made sure committee members
knew that oversight was already written into Israel funding, suggesting
that any additional spending on monitoring would be gratuitous.
Democrats involved in the back-and-forth said Leahy was receptive to
exempting Israel from the levy and other changes that strengthened
Israel's bid, and that the exchanges were always amicable.

How
Well Do You Know the Neocon Propaganda
Machine?
From
high-brow intellectualism to tabloid spin, the neoconservative movement
has evolved in ways that its early progenitors could hardly have
imagined. The result is a well-oiled media machine that continues to
impact policymaking, even as the neoconservatives themselves fall
deeper into ill repute.
