[Peace-discuss] News for Peace Advocates: AIPAC Crushed in House Trade Vote

[Robert Naiman]

Do you remember the Monty Python skit, "News for Parrots
<http://www.montypython.net/scripts/news.php>"?

No parrots were involved in an accident on the M-1 today when a lorry
carrying high-octane fuel was in collision with a bollard....A spokesman
for parrots said he was glad no parrots were involved.

So, here's the trade policy news for peace advocates. On Friday, the
pro-war lobbying organization AIPAC was defeated on the floor of the U.S.
House of Representatives by a vote of 126 to 302
<http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/roll361.xml>. Among Democrats, 40
supported the pro-AIPAC position and 144 opposed it. Among Republicans, 86
supported the pro-AIPAC position and 158 opposed it.
