Where Is the Arab Lobby?

A lot of people hear the term “Zionist Lobby” without realizing exactly what it means or knowing the actual extent of its soft power—a power exercising almost complete control over American decision-making.

The lobby is the most important branch of Zionism in Washington. Why do I say this?

In short, one might say that it started out as a movement and then morphed into a bloc of organizations. It stems from the Messianic idea of the prophet Isaiah, which, according to Jewish interpretation, involves a guy coming to Jerusalem at the end of time, ushering in an era of prosperity, during which he’ll save the Jewish nation from pain and troubles. The Zionist movement is taking up the role of Messiah by sending Jews from all around the world to the land of Palestine, supposedly bringing them closer to holy sites.

But the Zionist movement has turned the religious goal into a secular goal: sending Jews to Palestine according to their ridiculous dreams of migration, proving that the Zionist movement is secular in the full sense of the word. The migration has already started. Not all Jews from the United States, however, have emigrated. A lot of them have actually remained there.

The Zionist movement believes that keeping a good number of American Jews in Washington will be a greater asset to Israel than would be sending them to Palestine. In America, they will be able to exert their influence to Israel’s benefit, safeguarding the Jewish presence in Palestine. These minorities in the U.S. have actually been able to establish organizations which have greatly contributed to decisions being made in support of Israel, the most important of which being American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Hadassah and some others. Such groups are collectively known as the “Zionist lobby” or the “Jewish lobby.”

In light of all this, we face a very perplexing question: Where is the Arab lobby?

There is a Jewish minority in the United States contributing money and setting up organizations that are influencing American decision-making, particularly when it comes to supporting Israel against the Arabs. Now my question bears repeating: Where is the Arab lobby?

There are a lot of Arab investors in the U.S. who have more stocks and money than the Jews. So why aren’t they using their money and investments to apply pressure in favor of Arabs, just as the Zionist lobby applies pressure in favor of Israel? How come they aren’t getting involved in decision-making?

And now, dear reader, I leave you with a question, and I hope I can get an answer: Where is the Arab lobby?
