Now that all of this is out in the open, the correct response is: so what? Who cares if Rahm Emmanuel has done these things? Yes he has close ties to the Jewish Community and to AIPAC. That doesn't mean he will be hawkishly pro-Israel or push for a bombing strike against Iran. Emmanuel's positions may turn out to be quite moderate.

Regardless, Obama will still control policy in his administration. So quit judging Emmanuel based on his associations and religious preference. Those that do so are no better than those who frivilously question Obama's patriotism based on his associations with Ayers, Wright, and Khalidi.

Which world? only few countries in world are tearing down the world, two being Israel and USA, since end of WWII Israel has been tearing down the western part of Middle-East and still occupying a good chunk of territories from her neighbors, US is tearing down Middle-East and still occupies few countries not to mentioning puppetering other puppet countries in the region and the world, one have to clean his own act before preaching to others.

Finally for those optimistic people who believe that change is possible, think again, first act of elected president was to put Israelis man as chief of staff, second most powerful post in White House after himself, and we will see more Israelis men occupying unelected post in new administration as it was in times of Clinton, I can not think of any English or French or any other foreign country men having being penetrated so deep in to political/media/economy centers of US with such affinity toward Israel regardless of US or other countries hopes and aspirations for the world!

Walk the walk before getting up on your pedestal again.

No network or organization can control the US government completely. AIPAC, arguably the second most powerful lobbying organization in America, has one sole purpose: to advance Israel's interests and Israel's interests only. At their last pep rally, they hosted nearly every bigwig in US politics. They have major influence over our politicians and often to the detriment of greater America's well-being. AIPAC has pushed our politicians to pass FISA, the wiretapping act, a possible naval blockade and act of war against Iran on Israel's behalf, and the Patriot Act plus revisions. They have been exerting this influence, sometimes illegally, since the creation of Israel. In addition, a huge Israeli spy ring spanning the entire country was uncovered after 9/11. Why did this spy ring not notify at least one US intelligence agency? Are we not allies?
There are reasons why one may find suspicious Rahm Emmanuel's possible appointment to Obama's chief of staff. Amongst those are Emmanuel's proven success with finding big-time political donors in the Jewish community for the Clinton administration back in the day. Who are the big time donors in the Jewish community now? AIPAC activists. As I've said before, I know many Jews and Israelis in America who are not supporters of AIPAC's ideologies.

Before we begin worrying about Obama's plans for the Middle East, however, let us worry about the last two months we have to spend with Bush still in the White House and the threats Israel made about striking Iran before the official swearing in on January 20.
