IS AIPAC CRAZY?

This defies common sense. For AIPAC to oppose any efforts to reign in Iran is a mystery. One would think AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) would be leading the effort to bring Iran to heel. Caroline Glick explores this strange behavior.

Why is AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee ed.) undermining attempts to financially isolate terror supporters?
By Caroline B. Glick
Josh Mandel is a first-term legislator in the State of Ohio's House of Representatives. He is also a US Marine Corps sergeant in reserves. Last year, Mandel arrived at the state house after a tour of duty in Iraq. There, he saw first-hand how Iran was fuelling the insurgency that is killing his fellow servicemen and Iraqi innocents. His experience led him to introduce a bill that would divest Ohio's public employee pension funds from companies that do business with Iran and fellow state sponsor of terror Sudan.
As his bill made its way through the various committees, Mandel's initiative received a body blow from an unexpected direction. AIPAC representatives approached him and asked him to pare down his bill's divestment requirements to include only companies that invest more than $20 million in Iran's oil and gas sector.
Mandel was surprised. Why should companies that invest in Iran's defense, telecommunications and other sectors be immune from divestment? AIPAC went over his head to Ohio's House Speaker Jon Hustead. Hustead amended the bill along AIPAC's suggested lines.
Mandel's experience is not unique.
Christopher Holton works as the Director of the Divest Terror Initiative at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy where I also serve as a senior fellow. In August 2004, the CSP launched its campaign to divest public employee pension funds from companies that do business with countries listed as state sponsors of terror by the US State Department. The decision was inspired by a study of companies invested in states which sponsor terrorism undertaken by Roger Robinson, the founder and president of the Conflict Securities Advisory Group.
