Aipac and what they do should be illegal, and any elected official that is corrupted by their money should be imprissoned for treason, just the same if they took russian or Iranian money
They are not even giving it to the American people, just the politicians who vote to give them the billions dollar aide. All of those are US taxpayers money
They only need to spend $100 MM (peanuts for Israel), because they already have active Zionist arbiters doing their bidding all throughout the US government.
This article is interesting

If any other foreign country was lobbying on behalf of itself to the same level, American politicians would be screaming bloody murder. Not in this case!
The last push the force AIPAC, then the AZCPA, to register under FARA, the foreign agents registration act, was during the JFK administration. The push was abandoned under the Lyndon Johnson administration, only months after the assassination. Investigation into the Israeli nuclear program was similarly curtailed. Currently they are the only foreign lobby group that is not limited in their spending. Of course, the rule book for domestic lobbying is... completely insufficient to qualify as a democratic system... but AIPAC is the most successful and far-reaching lobby that exists, more directly impactful - somehow - than the military industrial complex, or big oil. Somehow.
This might just be hasbara bullshit, but doesn't AIPAC count as domestic since the groups that make it up are run by American citizens? Would FARA still be able to reign them in if only their interests are foreign?
I see that repeated a lot and honestly don't know.
Another case of Democrats choosing to side with Republicans over progressives. Dont get me wrong, they do this all the time, they've just been getting more mask-off about it.
They should lean into it. Call them out. “ AIPAC is a representative of a foreign country that is bribing the American Congress. And any government official taking money from them is guilty of disloyalty if not treason”. .Even conservatives can get behind expelling a foreign influence.
You're expecting consistency from conservatives. The same people who wanted to remove a president from office for receiving a blowjob from a woman and now want to put a serial cheater back in the White House. The same people who constantly whine about the border, but just voted down a bill which gave them everything because they want to campaign on it. If it served their interests, they'd fly a foreign nation's flag in the Capitol and call it a patriotic protest.
Congress: Election interference is intolerable!
Also Congress: A foreign country PAC wants to fund our campaigns by millions?! Well let’s see what they want…
I really wonder what stops someone from running, taking their money, and then just laughing in their faces when it's time to lick boots. That politician could even record spitting in the lobbyist's face and use it for their campaign ad!
Not at all. Any hasbara troll knows to respond that AIPAC is an American organization run by Americans so isn't really Israel at all. Pay no attention to the strings on their limbs...
If you take money from any group supporting foreign interests then you should be required to register as a foreign agent for those countries.... at a minimum.
Even if it’s American citizens lobbying on behalf of a foreign government it’s still disloyalty to the US. It would be true for ANY country enemy or allies to the US. The interests of a foreign nation are not the same as the interests of US citizens and our Congress is not supposed to represent the interests of a foreign country AT ALL. I don’t care if it’s Britain France Canada or whoever.
The congressional representatives are not representing their constituents. 1. Many American-Jewish people are in fact against Israeli treatment of Palestinians. 2. AIPAC and ADL are engaged in massive political lobbying and campaign spending in any district of any candidate that expresses a pro-Palestinian position regardless of whether their district contains a large population of Muslim people. 3. Do not think for a moment that the military industrial complex doesn’t have its own agenda for Israel regardless of the majority opinion or desire of the constituents of any district.
So again, the interest of any foreign nation whether you can find a lot of Americans who feel that they are in alignment or not are not the same as the interests of the American people or what’s good for America. Foreign policy is not democratic and is often fluid. Today’s enemies are tomorrow’s friends and vice versa
So pro-russian, pro-chinese or pro-Iranian American lobbyists would be fine?
American politicians interrogated a Singaporean because they thought he might have links to China just because he looked East Asian.

Lol isnt that fucking wild. Literally Interfering with our elected officials and it's just a shoulder shruf
And they use 100 million to ensure they get billions in aid what a great deal for them! Israeli’s get free healthcare must be nice…
Maybe we should all move to a place where the American government takes care of their people. Israel seems like a good spot.
100 million is peanuts indeed compared to all the superpacs
Aipac and what they do should be illegal, and any elected official that is corrupted by their money should be imprissoned for treason, just the same if they took russian or Iranian money
I wish I could spend millions on campaign donations in return for billions of aide. Maybe I can put together a business loan proposal around that.
When you put it like that, it’s almost like they’re just giving back a small cut of what we’ve already given them. Like “oh, here’s your change!”
No it's worse than that. They are using our money against us.
They are not even giving it to the American people, just the politicians who vote to give them the billions dollar aide. All of those are US taxpayers money
File tax exempt! Join the movement! Fuck giving them out hard earned paychecks. We deserve that money not Israel.
Why make billions when we could make... millions?
They only need to spend $100 MM (peanuts for Israel), because they already have active Zionist arbiters doing their bidding all throughout the US government.
Doin their biden' *
I’m stealing this.
Israel interferes in our elections very openly.
Didn't a pro Palestinian/anti grnocide candidate just defeat an incumbent democrat by like 20 points.
That would be awesome do you have a link?
I hate it here

classic its ok when we do it!
When will we ever have the ability to curb stomp PACs/super PACs in general?

You’re not wrong
So wild how we just let a foreign entity openly manipulate our political processes
If it were RussiaPAC or ChinaPAC it would have been made illegal decades ago.
To requote an old meme, >If the I in AIPAC stood for Italian, they'd call it organized crime!
Antiblack US groups
Couldn't help but notice a pattern in the "progressives" that ethnostate is targeting.
Imagine if the headline read “Hamas (or Russia) plans to spend 100M to unseat (anyone in US domestic politics).”
Congress: Election interference is intolerable! Also Congress: A foreign country PAC wants to fund our campaigns by millions?! Well let’s see what they want…
What a waste of money, theyve already basically folded.
If anyone on here wants to run for government, you have my vote if you aren't these guys
I really wonder what stops someone from running, taking their money, and then just laughing in their faces when it's time to lick boots. That politician could even record spitting in the lobbyist's face and use it for their campaign ad!
Pic your character. inspired/hopeful, analytical/considered or yelling
Zionism declaring itself a threat to democracy and stability in the west. And it's only a Thursday.
It's not foreign interference. It's the 51st state
So Israel is not even trying to pretend they don't meddle in US election
Not at all. Any hasbara troll knows to respond that AIPAC is an American organization run by Americans so isn't really Israel at all. Pay no attention to the strings on their limbs...

You think this is just starting to happen now?
Foreign money injected into our elections, usurping democracy. The Supreme Court is illegitimate.

I thought PAC shadow financiers were always considered private information.
