Jewish Agency Payments to the American Zionist Council
Between January 1, 1955 through
December 31, 1962 the Jewish Agency made $5,100,001.02 in payments to
the American Zionist Council. The following American Zionist Council
reports to the Jewish Agency provide summarize funding spent on education,
lobbying and public relations.
The Jewish Agency failed to properly itemize these payment details on its mandatory
Foreign Agents Registration Act declarations to the US Department of
Justice, including payment vouchers directing Jewish Agency funding to AIPAC
founder Isaiah L. Kenen who was paid $5,000 each quarter for stealth "public
relations services".

Stewart David Nozette and economic espionage against the United States
Dr. Stewart David Nozette (born May 20, 1957) is an American scientist and astronomer. He has worked for the United States Department of Energy, the United States Department of Defense, and NASA. His research has resulted in multiple publications in the journal Science. The FBI arrested him October 19, 2009, charging him with attempted espionage, after a sting operation. Nozette attempted to sell U.S. classified information to someone he believed was an Israeli Mossad operative, but was in reality an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation employee. He pleaded guilty to one charge of espionage and was sentenced, under the terms of a plea bargain, to thirteen years in prison.
Nozette was born in Chicago, Illinois on May 20, 1957, to Helen and Morris Nozette. He grew up in Chicago’s heavily Jewish West Rogers Park neighborhood. His parents were involved in the local reform temple. However, Stewart showed little interest in Jewish matters as an adult.

US State Department investigates AIPAC Director Morris Amitay's acquisition of classified Hawk missile data
US Department
of State investigation files reveal the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee's (AIPAC) director received classified US national defense
information. In 1975 the Ford administration
tried to sell improved Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Jordan
and duly sent notification
containing classified Department of Defense data to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee. AIPAC's
Director Morris Amitay reviewed the classified
document after being informed "secretly by aides of Senator Clifford P.
Case, Republican of New Jersey, and Representative Jonathan B. Bingham,
Democrat of New York" according to the New York Times.
According to
criminal investigation files released on January 20, 2012, this
disclosure to AIPAC was "unauthorized" and included the dollar amounts
and quantitative configurations of the missile system. The State
Department considered "The specific details of Jordan's military
equipment needs are information provided us in confidence by that
government. The classification of the documents in question was, in our
view, substantively proper."

Paris university pulls plug on "Israeli apartheid" talk by David Cronin
A Paris university has withdrawn permission for a Palestine solidarity conference at the behest of the Zionist lobby.
In a statement
issued today, the authorities at the University of Paris 8 said that
the title of the conference – “Israel: an apartheid state?” – was “of a
strongly polemical character.” Because there had been strong reactions
to its theme, the university predicted there could be a “serious risk
posed to public order” if the event scheduled for 27 and 28 February
went ahead.
The complaint
against the conference was made by the representative council for
Jewish organizations in France, or CRIF as it’s better known. It had
objected to the participation of Omar Barghouti, coordinator of the
Palestinian campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against
Israel.

The Israeli-Zionist Lobby in France By Roger Garaudy
"There is in France a powerful pro-Israeli lobby exercising its influence especially in the domain of information."
(General De Gaulle)

February, 1988
In France, General De Gaulle was the only one to dare to say:
"that there was in France a powerful pro-Israeli lobby exercising
its influence especially in the domain of information. This
affirmation. at the time, caused an uproar. However, it contains an
element of truth which is still relevant today."

Since then there hasn't been a single candidate for the Presidency of the French Republic, whatever his party, from Michel Rocard to Jacques Chirac, by way of Mitterand, who hasn't gone to Israel to get the media investiture.
