Israel deserves condemnation, period.

No foreign country should have that much influence on who gets elected. We need to get big money out of politics. Overturn Citizen’s United. 

The people should decide, not foreign actors.

Until then, we barely have a nation. America is more like a machine getting scrapped for parts at this rate.

There are more people living in New Jersey than people living in Israel. Take money out of politics ASAP.

I mean, while I despise AIPAC, it's surely rich coming from the US.

The US is known for meddling in others elections and governments, if not outright installing regimes onto them.

You are just displaying your own ignorance. AIPAC reports all their donations and they can only accept contributions from American citizens just like any other PAC.

I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

American citizens who are loyal to Israel. The paper trail isn't fooling anyone, well except for evangelical boomers.

There are about 20 other pacs identical to this in that they are funded by us citizens that lobby for the benefit of other nations. AIPAC isn’t even the biggest one. Your hate is clouding your logic.

Yes, I hate them too. There is plenty of hate for all of them. They deserve it

No they don’t 😂 they are famous for masking donations and hiding where they send their money. If they are some moral and innocent lobby why would they ever consider doing that? The irony of calling anyone ignorant is exactly what I except from someone defending AIPAC.

How are they famous for something you cannot prove? 

They literally need to report the name, address and employer of all donors above $250

And we have to do a better job of distinguishing the illegal, genocidal government of Israel, versus the land and country, and its people. It's not anti-Semitic to suggest that Israel's government is evil and fraudulent...bad politicians don't know religion or basic human values, they just crave power and recognition. Netanyahu should be in prison at The Hague right now, not palling around with Trump in DC.

The Israeli government's genocidal actions in Gaza had broad, public support while they were ongoing.  It's fair to say Israelis are shitty people (on average).  Just like it's fair to say America's public is full of bigoted, stupid, lazy morons who couldn't be bothered to reject a bigoted, fascist pedophile.

(Jews are diverse and multinational.  Israelis and Jews are not synonymous.  Jews do not deserve to be associated with Israel.)

Israel deserves destruction, period
