One should not underestimate, for instance, the [power] of the Jewish lobby, at Capitol Hill, the American parliament. It is the best organised pressure group there. In other words, one should not underestimate the grip the Jewish lobby has on US politics. Be it with the Democrats or the Republicans, there is little difference.
One should not underestimate the opinion - outside the lobby - of the average Jew who does not live in Israel. There is indeed among most Jews a faith [geloof] - I cannot think of a better way to put it - that they are right. And faith is something difficult to disprove with rational argumentation. It doesn't depend on them being religious or not. Even secular Jews [vrijzinnige] share the same faith of being right. It is therefore not easy, even for a moderate Jew, to talk about what's happening in the Middle East. It's a very emotional issue [for them]."

Avete capito? Lo "average Jew" e' una creatura emozionalmente disturbata, che coltiva la convinzione di essere sempre nel giusto e che, anche quando e' un moderato, non puo' essere convinto con argomentazioni razionali. Per esempio quella del legame ancestrale alla terra da parte dei poveri palestinesi dispossessati. Una argomentazione razionalissima.
E poi c'e' una lobby che controlla la politica del governo della nazione piu' potente del mondo.
