US Department of Justice Asked to Regulate AIPAC as a Foreign Agent of the Israeli Government

The US Department of Justice has been formally asked to begin regulating the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as the foreign agent of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A 392 page legal filing presented by a four person IRmep delegation in a two hour meeting with top officials of the Internal Security Section substantiated the following case for AIPAC’s immediate registration:

  1. AIPAC is a spinoff of an organization already ordered by the DOJ to register as an Israeli foreign agent. In November of 1962 the American Zionist Council was ordered by the Attorney General to begin filing disclosures as an Israeli foreign agent under the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act. http://www.IRmep.org/1962Order.pdf. Six weeks later, former AZC employees incorporated the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington, DC, taking over the AZC’s lobbying activities. http://www.IRmep.org/AIPAC.pdf. AIPAC did not register as a foreign agent.
  2. AIPAC’s founder Isaiah L. Kenen was the chief information officer for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs in New York and for a time duly registered in that role. http://www.IRmep.org/Kenen.pdf The Justice Department ordered Kenen to personally re-register after he formally left the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs to head up private lobbying and publicity for the Israeli government at the nonprofit American Zionist Council. Kenen never complied with the order. http://www.IRmep.org/order.pdf.
  3. Espionage related FBI investigations in 1984 and 2005 reveal AIPAC’s ongoing stealth foreign agency activities. Declassified FBI files released on the Internet last week reveal that in 1984 AIPAC and the Israeli Ministry of Economics were investigated for jointly obtaining and circulating classified US economic data to obtain favorable trade benefits for Israel. http://www.irmep.org/ila/economy. In 2005 Pentagon Colonel Lawrence Franklin pled guilty and two AIPAC employees were indicted for obtaining and circulating classified US national defense information to Israeli government officials allegedly in the interest of fomenting US action against Iran.
  4. AIPAC’s executive committee consists of the original member organizations of the AZC in addition to newer members. The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, the umbrella group of AIPAC’s executive committee, is housed in the same New York office as the World Zionist Organization – American Section, a registered foreign agent that is heavily involved in illegal settlement expansion according to Israeli prosecutor Thalia Sasson.

According to Grant F. Smith, director of IRmep, the case for reregulating AIPAC as a foreign agent immediately is compelling. “AIPAC was designed to supplant the American Zionist Council as the arm of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the United States after the DOJ ordered the AZC to register as a foreign agent. As such, Americans should have full public access to biannual FARA registrations detailing AIPAC’s publicity campaigns, lobbying expenditures, funding flows, activities of its offices in Israel and internal consultations with its foreign principals – particularly over such controversial issues as illegal settlements and US foreign aid.”

Concerned organizations and individuals who wish to supplement the Department of Justice filing or participate in future negotiations with law enforcement officials should contact the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy, Inc. at info@IRmep.org or 202-342-7325. IRmep is a private nonprofit that studies how warranted law enforcement and civil action can improve U.S. Middle East policy.

  1. We need more facts facts like this do it now:- UKs ord–Balfourdeklaration 1917–till sionisterna om Palestina.Uks utrikesminister ,Arthur James Balfour.
    Foreign Office,
    den 2 november 1917 Käre Lord Rothschild,
    Jag har det stora nöjet att, å Hans Majestäts regerings vägnar, till Er överlämna följande deklaration om sympatier för det judiska sionistiska aspirationerna, vilken har underställts och godkänts av kabinettet.
    ‘Hans Majestäts regering ser gynnsamt på grundandet i Palestina av ett nationellt hem för det judiska folket och kommer att göra sin bästa ansträngningar för att underlätta uppnåendet av detta syfte; varvid det är klart underförstått att ingenting skall göras som kan skada de medborgerliga och religiösa rättigheterna för de icke-judiska befolkningsgrupperna i Palestina eller de rättigheter och den politiska ställning, som åtnjutes av judar i någon annat land.’
    Jag skulle vara tacksam om Ni kunde göra den sionistiska federationen underkunnig om denna deklaration.
    Eder Högaktningsfulle
    Arthur James Balfour
    Israels makt i världen
    ——————————-
    Den israeliska lobbyn AIPAC har enorm makt i senaten och kongressen i USA. Och även i andra länder. Eller hur ska man tolka dessa länkar utav ex presidenter, professorer, kongressmän, etc? Gör jag en feltolkning? Kan vi få till en diskussion kring dessa länkar?

    Läs vad ex president och Nobels fredspristagare Jimmy Carter säger om AIPAC i en intervju:
    http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-29/carter-on-iran/2/
    “AIPAC is the dominant voice among the Israeli organizations in this country. And if you look at the purpose of AIPAC, it’s not to promote peace, it’s not to bring peace to Israel, it’s to promote and defend the policies of the incumbent government in Israel. And so they defend Israel. It’s politically impossible, as you know, for any member of Congress to make a public statement condemning or criticizing the policies of Israel. It would be political suicidal for them to do so. A lot of the members of Congress agree with me, some very high up in the Congress. But if they came out publically and said it, their seats would be in danger. “

  2. Are you kidding me. Israel won’t do anything it doesn’t want to. Aipac is to powerful politically to be forced to do anything. I think Pres. Obama is basically a decent man who hat his tit in a wringer & doesn’t know what to do about it. One of the things that gripes me most is freezing social security cost of living increases but Israel still wants its 7 billion a year in aid which we all know is never going to be paid back. I supposed the Israeli’s really need the 7 billion so the the settlers can have swimming pools in their back yards. Who care,s if a few hundred thousand Palestinians go with out water. They are just cockroaches according to Israel. The lords prayer should end with ” and deliver us from Israel Amen.

  3. Regulate AIPAC hell – jail the dual-loyalty Jewish ‘traitor’ bass Terds. After the Franklin, Weismann, Cohen spy case promoted by AIPAC and the other traitor Jews (Douglas Feith) working at the Pentagon and slipping TOP SECRET Intell on Iran and US weapons systems to Israel- What more proof do we need?
