Can ANYONE make a cogent argument for why AIPAC (and any organization like it) is allowed to exist and operate on U.S. soil? What’s the argument for?



Lobbying with money is an inherent part of the US political system. If you have issues with that, then US style democracy is not for you.
For the vast majority of Jewish American's love for Israel is a part of their religion/identity. They use the existing political structure of lobbying to achieve their singular goal of loving and funding Israel.....


That goal is fine for those people, for that special interest. Makes sense. But then why persist with the pretense that U.S. foreign policy is based on anything other than who spends the most to buy the most influential of the political elite? I mean, that’s essentially the argument you’re making …

The ROI on those donations to AIPAC must be astronomical … no wonder Jewish Americans don’t just route their $$$ directly to Israel! $70 - $80M to have control over that much foreign aid and influence in Congress and the U.N.? Wow, that is the best money ever spent!


Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ of any ethnic group in the world. Since 1950, 29 percent of Nobel Prizes have been awarded to Ashkenazi Jews, who represent 0.25 percent of the global population.




The protests are about EQ.


Yes, the Evil Quotient.

Yes if only Biden would listen to the people and change his support for Israel. Before he was elected he promised to hold the Saudis accountable. Now he thinks he can solve the Palestinians issue by making a deal with the Saudis to recognize Israel while not doing anything to address the Palestinians issue. Bet That does not work and leads to more unintentional consequences.

Though he is lot like LBJ in the Ukraine with his slowly introducing weapon systems and his out dated views on Israel.


Why does he need to listen to some "people"? This set of people, sometimes in life we hear "no", said or implied.
It seems that Palestinians and their supporters do not know what the word "no" means. They have been begging for 80 years, and the answer has been "no". Maybe others just don't want what you want. All that is left is for you to war so go for that.


It’s not some people. A recent survey by The Wall Street journal show that 60% of voters do not agree with his handling of the conflict.


Call your senator. Demand they defund Israel. We are not their keepers. Netanyahu has continuously given us the middle finger and Joe simply keeps sending them money and UN vetos. Goodbye Israel. We don't need you anymore.

The opinion of the people is irrelevant in a heavily militarized, neofeudalist entity. The purpose of the United States is to generate wealth and maintain power for a few hundred people, by any means necessary.

In a Venn diagram of who wears masks and for what reason, there is a lot of overlay. Sheeple that think they are saving the world one mask at a time.


Wait, I have vivid memories of the MAGA idiots who didn't want to wear a mask because of "muh freedumb." I bet you were one of them.

Unfortunately, what you've stated is true - Americans are being conned by the elites of both parties.

FFS.

I suggest you conduct a personal evaluation of the alternatives. Surely a long, in-depth study will be required in a land far, far away.

I think these congress people, if they haven't been swayed by the Israel interest group, are certainly affected by groupthink when it comes to Israel.

The purpose of the US is not to generate power for the few. The few may take advantage of the US to enrich themselves, not the other way around.

Watch Speaker Johnson’s interview with Erin Burnett. Hand on a bible, the guy is in an absolute trance regurgitating talking points straight from AIPAC.

Our ejected representatives are bought. It’s a fact, not opinion or conspiracy theory. They’re bought and representing our interests is only a consideration where it doesn’t affect the orders of their true masters. It’s frightening.

THE DEPARTMENT OF Education’s Office for Civil Rights has opened an investigation into the University of Massachusetts Amherst in response to a complaint that alleges that the school took months to address the harassment of Palestinian and Arab students.

In the previously unreported civil rights complaint, 18 students said that they have “been the target of extreme anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab harassment and discrimination by fellow UMass students, including receiving racial slurs, death threats and in one instance, actually being assaulted.” The result, the students said, was a hostile environment for all Arab and Palestinian students, those perceived to be Palestinian, and their allies on campus. Among the most chilling allegations involves a student yelling “kill all Arabs” at fellow students protesting Israel’s war on Gaza.

Wow scary! Yet the students are allowed to continue their campaign against Arabs and Palestinians?

“The condemnation has been so swift against largely peaceful, non-violent anti-war protests that are calling for an end to an ongoing genocide of Palestinians,” Habash said. “They’re arresting faculty who are trying to protect students who are in the middle of prayers. They are suspending students. They are kicking them out of their dorms and throwing their belongings into alleyways — this is not how you create safe, inclusive environments. This is not how you prevent discrimination. This is how you enable it and how you make it normalized.”

Targeted Harassment

The 49-page complaint lays out allegations of harassment going as far back as the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7. The complaint alleges that a student began appearing at Students for Justice in Palestine and other related off-campus protests, “shouting threats such as ‘Kill all Arabs,’ playing a speaker with a recording of the sounds of bombs and other explosions and attempting to ram student protestors with an electric scooter.”

The student, whose name is redacted in the copy of the complaint reviewed by The Intercept, also allegedly attempted to intimidate an elderly woman among other people, “while also being extremely racist towards Arabs and Palestinians, stating ‘level Gaza’ and ‘Kill all Arabs.’”

Seems the universities are intentionally creating the hostile environment for Arabs and Palestinians.
