Eric Clapton: "And I thought, what is this, the Spanish Inquisition? And it is! It’s #AIPAC, it’s the lobby. #Israel is running the show. Israel is running the world.”
In each of his previous wins, the margin of victory was razor thin - he can’t afford to lose ANY votes... and yet, in a jaw-dropping and unforced error, there he is on the top ten list of politicians taking money from #AIPAC.
A compelling reason for the US to change course, but pols & donors owned by #AIPAC, #ChristianNationalists, &... are thwarting...
American doctors are trapped in Gaza💔as a result of IL’s post-invasion closure of the Rafah border crossing into EG, acc to sources with knowledge of the plight of 2 ill-fated MED mis-.
"Israel is fighting a just and necessary war," asserted U.S. Senator from Arkansas, #TomCotton, in support of Israel continuing its genocide in Gaza.
The Senator also suggested that "the House has no choice but to impeach #Biden over delayed Israel aid." This highlights the extent to which U.S. senators supported by #AIPAC funding are willing to go to ensure Israel remains armed with U.S. weaponry.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is reportedly secretly intervening to stymie Susheela Jayapal's (sister of Rep. Pramila) congressional race in Portland.
AIPAC is funneling money through 314 Action, which says it helps elect Democrats with a science background, in this case Maxine Dexter, a doctor.
Jewish Insider news had floated Dexter as a potentially pro-Israel candidate before she entered the race.

"AIPAC is so confident in their position politically -laundering $1.7M in donations thru a "pro-science" PAC to defeat P Jayapal's sister.
314 Action Fund -describes itself as helping to elect “Dems with a background in science to public office,” is throwing its weight behind M Dexter -st rep & local dor. The news outlet Jewish Insider floated Dexter as a potentially pro-IL cand. before she entered the race."
As American Jews, we know #AIPAC does not represent us. We keep trying to tell this to Rep. Katherine Clark (MA-05) but she won’t listen.
If she would, she'd realize that the McCarthyite “Antisemitism Awareness Act” she voted for yesterday does nothing to keep us safe. In fact, it does the opposite.
It gets tiresome, the way #antisemitic conspiracies spread among fellow pro-#Palestine folks. It also hurts our cause. #AIPAC is evil for its politics, yes, but doesn't own Congress; it backs already evil people. Same with media. Jews don't buy control; the truth is more complex.
Support on #Tiktok for #Palestine is 8 to 1 v. #Israel and here is the ADL CEO who has been successful with #AIPAC in their lobbying bid to ban it (it passes today). 1/2
We are Jewish Americans who have varying perspectives. We’ve come together to highlight and oppose the unprecedented and damaging role of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its allied groups in US elections, especially within Democratic Party primaries. We recognize that the purpose of AIPAC’s interventions in electoral politics is to defeat any critics of Israeli government policy and to support candidates who vow unwavering loyalty to Israel, thereby ensuring the United States’ continuing support for all that Israel does, regardless of its violence and illegality.
Jewish Americans opposing American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the most powerful wing of Israel's lobbying in the US, write,
"In contrast to AIPAC, we are American Jews who believe that US support for foreign governments should only be extended to those that respect the full human and civil rights, and right to self-determination, of all people."
"My fellow Americans are you ok with a lobby group representing the best interests of a foreign government telling you that you need to bust your ass everyday, and have a portion of your earnings taken from you by our federal government and funneled to the Israeli government so they can commit atrocities in the Gaza Strip. Are you ok with that? Cause I'm not ok with that." - Ana Kasparian, The Young Turks
"Meeting: locked down w few SM posts. The goal of this year’s gathering was to fire up attendees for AIPAC’s 2024 agenda, before sending them off to strong-arm Congress on supporting IL.
#AIPAC’s leg. strategy will use to support an unconditional $14B MIL funding package that has thus far been held up, among other policy changes +incl. abolishing the UNRWA to opposing recent restrictions imposed by the Biden admin on Israeli settlers..." https://prospect.org/world/2024-03-14-aipac-talking-points-revealed/
