Why is the Israel Lobby keeping quiet on Syria Crisis? Damien Lataan, Aug 29 2013 thenakedfacts.blogspot/2013/08/why-is-israel-lobby-keeping-quiet-on.html In a recent article in Politico, Anna Palmer pondered the question of why the Israel lobby is silent on Syria. After having spoken with a number of pro-Israel activists representing organisations like AIPAC and the AJC she reports that most have kept quiet about the events in Syria for two main reasons: one is the uncertainty of what is going on in Syria and, two, not wanting to seem in any way influential about US foreign policy relating to affairs in the Middle East, especially after the disastrous invasion of Iraq which was strongly supported by most Israeli lobby groups on the basis that Saddam supported the Palestinian cause during the Second Intifada and had WMDs likely to be used against Israel.
