Title: What is George Schultz's agenda (see this article)

Wasn't he part of a group that was undermining the ability to take out or delay an Iraq reactor in the early 80's? 

He doesn't seem like someone who would write an article about how a so-called "Israeli lobby" is a clear myth.

I'm of the view that there is an Israel lobby.

The only problem is that it serves the corporate interests of CFR, rather than America and Israel.

Pardon the neo-Marxism.

Could you provide an example of how the so-called lobby serves the interests of any of those corporations?

Sure. Take the weapons provider Lockheed Martin, a corporate member of CFR. AIPAC works to send large amounts of military aid to Israel, most of which must be reinvested in U.S. industries.

Lockheed Martin then receives hundreds of millions from Israel for research and development and likely works directly or indirectly with AIPAC to keep the cash coming.

Assuming this scenario is true, it strikes me as a legalized form of "money laundering".

If George Schultz is claiming that "there is no Israeli lobby", he must be covering up some shady deal he's got going between the lobby & Bechtel, Carlyle Group, & whatever other supra-national outfits of which he's a part.

We all know who AIPAC funds, it's public record. But who funds AIPAC?

Does AIPAC receive all of its funding from 50 dollar cash donations from American Jews? Nope
Does AIPAC receive funding from the Israeli government? Nope [sorry Jew-haters]

Does a massive interest-group/lobby like AFL-CIO receive corporate donations? Yup.
Does a massive interest-group/lobby like the NRA receive corporate donations? Yup.
 
Does AIPAC receive funding from Jewish federations? You betcha.
Do Fortune 500 companies who sit on CFR ever fund Jewish federations? I'd be hard-pressed to find one that doesn't.

This relationship has been going on since the days of Truman and Eisenhower.

It sounds simplistic but that is how it works.

Why would companies who sit on CFR fund Jewish federations?  What are some of these federations?

Didn't he conspire with Casper Weinberger and Bobby Ray Inman to not provide Israel with intelligence and then allowed Pollard to go to jail?
