AIPAC’s $25 Million Campaign to Unseat Jamaal Bowman in NY
The Israel lobby is seeking to oust lawmakers who have led calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
“They don’t want anyone to be critical of the state of Israel", even when honest critique supports the safety & security of the people of Israel as well as the freedom of Palestine.

A compelling reason for the US to change course, but pols & donors owned by #AIPAC, #ChristianNationalists, &... are thwarting...

There was a time when #AIPAC really was a non-partisan #Israel advocacy group, and accusations that it was inappropriately involved in US politics really were antisemitic.
That time is over. AIPAC is now unabashedly right-wing and actively contributing to the deterioration of American democracy.
Unfortunately, many American Jewish institutions haven't figured that out, or have but are too cowardly to disavow AIPAC, or the worst possibility of all, they support what it's doing.
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.

For all of my adult life I have been strongly opposed to #aipac and similar organizations equating criticism of #israel with #antisemitism not only because it’s disingenuous but because it’s dangerous. It has the effect of “crying wolf” so that real acts of #antisemitic harassment and violence aren’t taken seriously. It’s also a funhouse mirror version of the “dual loyalty” trope that makes it harder to distinguish between the position of Israel’s government and the #Jewish diaspora.
Intercept: " After House Speaker Mike Johnson Pushed Through Israel Aid Package, AIPAC Cash Came Flowing In
The pro-Israel lobby donated around $95,000 to Johnson after he led the House passage of an extra $14 billion for Israel. "
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.
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.
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.”
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."
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.
"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."
@DrALJONES Yep. This is how they operate. I fail to understand why this organisation (#AIPAC ) is not required to register under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act). All of their work is focused on benefiting #Israel, not the #US.
Long ago, the US military was organized mostly by branches, and they were set against each other so that none of them would challenge the civilian leadership (the founding fathers were paranoid about them taking over).
Some time ago, there was a major reorganization by region. Each command is responsible for a different region and is made up of all of the branches.
My father was stationed at MacDill AFB when the RDJTF became Centcomm (Middle East & North Africa).
Dad wasn't just mad because the things the military wanted didn't happen, that increase in political instability had a real human cost for the civilians living in those Arab countries.
Anyway, if you were ever curious about why the US government seems severely schizophrenic with regards to its Middle East policies, this is why. Behind the scenes, there are different factions with different agendas working against each other.
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
