AIPAC urges U.S. to shut Iranian Web site
By Yossi Melman
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is urging the United States government to disconnect an Iranian news site from American Internet servers, charging that the site has ties to terrorist organizations.
The allegation is based on a report published by Haaretz last month.
According to the Haaretz report, the site, Baztab, published details about a month ago of what it termed "an interrogation" of the two Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah on July 12.
Baztab's report claimed that the soldiers had admitted that Israel planned a military attack on Hezbollah in September or October, and the kidnapping had foiled this plan.
Based on this report and other information published on the site, AIPAC concluded that Baztab, which is supported by an American server, has ties with a terrorist organization.
It therefore asked the U.S. Treasury Department to order the site shut down.

Here is Baztab’s URL (in Arabic language):
http://www.baztab.com/
Let’s check it periodically, to see whether or not AIPAC’s “request” meets with success.

Re: Along with Irael proper, now AIPAC is audaciously flexing ITS “political muscles”
Joseph,
This revelation is especially surprising in contrast to your thread titled "Pro-Israel lobby in U.S. under attack (You won't hear or read about it in U.S. Media)," that you started on April 8 in the Zionist Political Agenda section. See http://com3.runboard.com/btheowlsnest.fthezionistpoliticalagenda.t11
However, you'd made it clear that you "weren't taking the bait" with your preface that I quote here:
----------------------------------------------
"In my studied opinion, this comes under the heading of "Too little too late," since many internet sites, including my own, have been disseminating the same information for more than 5 years, while the Zionist-controlled American Mass Media has been systematically suppressing it. At this point, the Zionists have achieved their goal of "puppetizing" all three branches of the United States Government, ensuring that it will continue to serve the interests of Israel and the Zionist Agenda ahead of America's national interests and those of the Gentile 97 percent of the American People.
Joseph Sarandos"
----------------------------------------------
If AIPAC on its own proves successful at getting the Treasury Department (I can't imagine why not the Jew-headed Homeland Security Department, since only the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury is Jewish) to order the shutdown of Baztab, then it will be clear that the so-called "attack" against AIPAC was nothing but a "good cop-bad cop" ruse in the establishment's counter-Internet machinery.

This surprised me, but it seems George Soros is and has been anti-AIPAC.
Between an "Eye Doctor" appointment, enjoying my grandkids and lots of yardwork today, I couldn't hit the web until way after a too-short evening nap, so I didn't run across the following article until around midnight, but it did wipe away my drowsiness.
Here it is verbatim (my emphasis added).

The attack on the 'Jewish lobby' keeps coming and coming
It would have been nice to focus on Obama's rejection of Soros' criticism and Clinton's letter distancing him from Carter. But this week proved that no tranquility is guaranteed by long-term trends.
Soros
Some American Jewish leaders are worried, and for good reason. They are paid to be worried, and paid well. We're heading for hard times, said one, recounting several reasons. For one, the pro-Israel lobby has been on the defensive for the past several months.
This week Jewish billionaire George Soros joined the chorus, not for the first time, writing an article in the New York Review of Books in which he accused AIPAC of exerting a damaging influence over American policy.
"Supporters of Israel have good reason to question AIPAC's advocacy and they have begun to do so," he wrote.
It appears that Soros considers himself to be an Israel supporter, even if many would disagree. In the article, Soros did not repeat past statements in which he accused Israel of exacerbating anti-Semitic trends, but he provided readers with different reasons to doubt the sincerity of his support. Regarding Hamas, for example, he wrote that "according to some reports it has a military wing." In other words, Soros isn't quite convinced that the rumors are true. He also trotted out the standard accusation, which Carter also made, that AIPAC silences criticism of Israel.
Soros is a prominent contributor to the Democratic Party. He was surely somewhat disappointed when it became clear that its leaders are not enthusiastic about responding to his call to arms. Sure, they want his money, but not his image.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, who is seen as being further to the left than other candidates, and whose candidacy has elicited a great deal of interest from Soros, has officially stated that he does not agree with Soros' views on Israel. This will certainly strengthen Soros' feeling that AIPAC is indeed succeeding in silencing others, in taming even the lions.
And the article won't be Soros' last word in his struggle against AIPAC. The pro-Israel lobby won this round, but no tranquility is guaranteed by long-term trends.
