Evil Jew Zionist Lobby meets with Democratic Senators to discuss what?

The Elders of Zion met with Democratic senators in the United States. No doubt they plotted how to stop the peace process and build more settlements, settlements, settlements, right?  No, that's not what happened exactly: 

 

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Jewish organizational leaders emphasized Iran, but also made time to discuss domestic issues including climate change and health care, when they met with Democratic U.S. senators.

Each of the four Jewish leaders tapped to make opening presentations to the senators Wednesday started by saying that Iran was the most critical issue for the Jewish community. They then moved on to other issues.

Rabbi Steve Gutow of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, a public-policy coordinating body comprised of the synagogue movements, several national organizations and local Jewish communities across North America, focused on climate change and the environment. Ken Jacobson of the Anti-Defamation League discussed hate-crimes legislation.

AIPAC's Howard Kohr talked more about Iran and praised the Obama administration for Gen. Keith Dayton's continued progress in building security in the West Bank. And David Harris of the American Jewish Committee criticized elements of President Obama's Cairo speech and talked about the U.S.-Israel relationship.

The senators then called on representatives of the 14 other groups invited, and they brought up health care and other matters.

...One participant said that Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) told the group that their help was still needed to pass legislation expanding federal government involvement in investigating hate crimes. Both houses of Congress have passed the legislation, but it still faces a conference committee.

...

The last person to be called on was the director of the Washington office of American Friends of Lubavitch Washington, Rabbi Levi Shemtov, who offered a d'var Torah with the message that "just as there is more than one way to be pro-Israel, there is more than one way to be pro-peace."

"Show me a Jew who is against peace and I would like to know what his Jewish source is," Shemtov said he told the group. "Show me a Jew who doesn't want a decent life for Palestinians," and he'll ask what his Jewish source is.

Shemtov said his remarks were not meant as a criticism of anyone but that he simply wanted to emphasize that "fundamentally, there does not need to be a conflict between people of the Jewish faith and people of the Muslim faith."

My! That sounds really sinister, all those neo-con Jew Zionist Israel Lobby leaders asking for peace and better health care and anti-hate-crime legislation.
