[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anti-Semitic accusations are the usual ridiculous hysteria that accompanies any accusation of Israel.  Didn’t the house just pass a bill that allows for states to boycott businesses that are boycotting Israel for its treatment of Palestinians?  Our elected officials thought it was so important to protect a foreign government that this was the first bill they passed this year?  And people have the audacity to think Omar is wrong to say that Congress is bought and paid for by AIPAC and its affiliates?  [/quote]

^^^ criticism of Israel.......sorry, too early.[/quote]

It is an anti-semitic trope to say that Jews have bought our Congress. Read a history book if you don't believe that a person in power making such claims is dangerous. [/quote]

Here is an AIPAC official saying that it is all about the Benjamins:

"Congressmen and senators don’t do anything unless you pressure them. They kick the can down the road, unless you pressure them, and the only way to do that is with money."

Right on its own website, AIPAC recruits people to donate $5,000 per election cycle:

While saying that pro-Israel groups have "bought" Congress oversimplifies the reasons why Israel is popular in Congress, the role of pro-israel money cannot be denied.

Gross! You should be ashamed of yourself. Pick up a history book. [/quote]

Sounds like you’re in denial of contemporary reality.[/quote]
