IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?

Are the main lobby organizations in the US more on the side of Likud or Labor or are they in the middle? Is the US Jewish lobby more monolithic or very diverse? What is it that the US Jewish lobby really wants in terms of US foreign policy towards Israel?IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?
It is like putting 18 scholars in a room to debate on a law of Torah, when the votes are counted you get 19. Same with Jews, they can't agree on who to agree with. But they all do agree on the same Hebrew Bible, whether an atheist or the Hispanic Rabbi of Mexico or the Rabbi head of England or Jerusalem . . . it is because the law must be applied to the very community it is addressing and not a world order or edict. It isn't easy to have a few groups going in 100s of directions at the same time, but that is they way life is for a Jew.





Imagine the weatherman on Israeli TV--you get Rabbis and the people each praying for rain in one location vs. another. The weather changes by the minute and hour. Can't keep up with the prayers and God's answers. How can you separate commitment to what is best for a democratic country where only non-Jews are playing King Solomon as if the land is a baby of two women? And the Jew? He stands in wonderment %26amp; shock.





There are no real lobbies of Jews because there are no popes, so-called kings of Islamic countries governing their lands by changing the applications and rules of the Qu'ran to suit their sect. That is why Iran is different than Iraq or Egypt or Dubai, or Morocco, or Sudan or Somolia, or Pakistan or India, or where the majority of the 2 Billion Muslims live, in Indonesia, but they have a common bond, to get rid of Israel, and have the money to keep making Israel the main topic of the media rather than face the real issues of poverty, hunger and our dependence on oil, etc. And in the background, in silence, they send out their missionaries to make this world all Islamic. Then the Pope has his own country where only Catholic's can work, vote and live, but must be religious %26amp; they have a common bond to make the world Catholic. JW send out their missionaries, so do the Buddhists, Hindus, the Moonies, the cults, etc.





My GUncle is a Sunni Muslim--his own grandparents were given the choice of sword or conversion. My own Native American tribes had the same offer from Christian missionaries. Even when my people converted they ended up losing their lands in the ';Trail of Tears.';





There is too many diverse voices from people in Washington, the least are the Jews whom concentrate on social issues like health care, pollution, world hunger, clean seas and oceans, etc. Why? People don't realize that there is no bodily reward for a heaven or a permanent hell in Judaism ever (check the Five Books of Moses). So, the Jews are worried about today, not a maybe, not 500 years from now, but what are we going to do to fix the horrible conditions of this world. Just this past week five dairies that supply milk for NYC will have to close because they can't charge what it costs them to keep a farm going!





While people are trying to throw out the baby with the bathwater, I don't think people are serious about God and the two Covenants that are in the Hebrew Bible (one for God-Fearers via the Jews that live by the Torah). Hard to get people to concentrate on pinning a Jew down on his politics but they will agree on the social issues. You decide, each one votes differently and each Jew has his own connection to the Bible %26amp; the future World-to-Come when the Garden of Eden is to be here again, but then there are the ';now'; issues that keep them grounded in feeding their kids %26amp; having a roof over their head in this time and place without mixing in politics %26amp; views from non-Jews about a country with no natural resources, the size of Rhode Island.IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?
It seems like the powerful Jewish lobby is mostly conservative, even in Israel the conservative party has won the last election.





It makes for a tense situation between Israel and our country whose demands are now met with stubbornness from Israel's side.
