Fuck Israel
I'm assuming you mean the government of Israel, but please be cautious with your statements. Some of my family is Israeli and they certainly don't support the genocide.
AIPAC can eat a bag of shit and die.
Hiding what?
AIPAC - American Israel Public Affairs Committee
Seems obvious from the name, no?
What I do find strange is that they don't need to register as a foreign entity.
.. hiding what? I certainly don't like AIPAC but this tweet has no real differences from any other org getting electoral wins for their candidates.
What they're failing to mention is that, since most of these races have only one Democrat candidate, and since most Democrats are paying lip service to the state of israel, this is statistically uninteresting.
and since most Democrats are paying lip service to the state of israel, this is statistically uninteresting.
You don't wonder why these Democrats all "coincidentally" support israel?... They're doing more than "paying lip service".
No, I don't wonder why. They're going along with a political trend because bucking the trend is politically dangerous. It's cowardly, but it's not a top secret conspiracy. Or do you really think the Democrat running for Missoulah comptroller is being paid off by Bibi?
Also, and this is a pretty important point you may have missed--the politicians they're talking about didn't necessarily endorse them back. They're saying "the people we like won primaries". A Democrat has the option of repudiating an endorsement from AIPAC, but they probably don't care that much and they may not even know.
Maybe because I live in DC it is more in your face here, but the politico part of this town has been sucking Israel's cock for decades.
It has come as a real surprise to me that most of the country didn't seem to know that until this Gaza war.
Funny how its election meddling until its israel.
They've never hid it. Here's a video they released years ago bragging about how they basically own all our politicians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM
This foreign state-sponsored corruption should be banned
It's weird that this is surprising to any leftists, but hopefully this is a wake-up call.
You are in a bubble.
Most people go not agree that there is a genocide, or that it's a bad thing if there is. Even democrats are only 50/50 on it.
IF BIDEN DIRECTLY GOES AGAINST ISRAEL, HE WILL LOSE VOTES.
Hopefully this pops the stupid idea that Biden could gain votes by denouncing Israel but he won't because he just loooooves genocide.
YES IT IS GENOCIDE. YES IT IS WRONG. WE ARE IN THE MINORITY FOR UNDERSTANDING THIS. JUST BECAUSE MOST OF YOUR FRIENDS GET IT, DOES NOT MEAN MOST OF THE COUNTRY GETS IT.
The biggest bubble is the bubble around Washington, D.C., fueled by tons of money. Most people would agree there is a genocide if they were made aware of it, but there is a lot of money being pumped to make sure the truth isn't given any attention.
Agreed. Frankly, a lot of independents are just poorly-informed potential Democrats, on a lot of issues.
I generally agree but I think it is starting to change. The primary protest votes suggest there is growing “disapproval” regarding Israel, and this is among actual voters. Not enough to make it politically “safe” for Biden to outright oppose Israel now, but it is something.
Agreed. It is changing. Not by enough to change the political calculus yet, but the trend is favorable. I said it was 50/50 for Dems but actually the most recent polls I could find have it at 60/40 and rising.
Gross
70 percent were born in Israel. So thirty percent likely still have citizenship or could remain citizenship from their native land. The rest are mostly second or third generation so depending on ancestry many could claim citizenship by descent.
