    It would be really nice if one day we could stop associating with Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    Israel is going to have to get more covert going forward. AIPAC carries too much baggage. Maybe they’ll hide behind JStreetPAC or something for a while, or have their donors reclassify as some other FEC title, which I suspect they may already be doing.

    Either way, anyone who starts to carry a legislative record of putting Israel First over America can no longer hide behind simply being opposed to antisemitism; nothing wrong with that if genuine of course (for it was always conservatives under the Republican banner causing violence wrought out of hate crimes) – but we all know that was just a veil for increasing far-right strength in Israel.

      AIPAC are already covering their tracks. They now do most funding through the united democracy project. Though that’s been pro-israels Super PAC for sometime, AIPAC funding was still high.

      Their donation model has also changed. Now they encourage their members to do individual contributions rather than through the org. Which is much harder to trace to their specific lobby group.

      That’s why it’s important to ask the politician if they support Israel, because it 100% is a litmus test on their morality, both governance morality or human morality.

    This will change nothing internally for Israeli politics. They did not develop the mental illness of fascism out of thin air. They are one of the most heavily indoctrinated and radicalized populations on the planet, and it’s been going on for more than a century (zionism started well before Nazi Germany).

    Even after dozens of widely reported crimes against humanity — including the rape, beastiality, torture, and murder of “suspects” — the result was Israeli extremists committing domestic terrorism and storming a military base in defense of releasing the suspect charged for raping a Palestinian so badly they needed emergency hospitalisation. All domestic polling I’ve seen indicates that somewhere between 70-90% of Israelis are pro-genocide; pro-extermination; irredeemably mentally ill nazis…

    Israel and Zionism in general need to be sanctioned, blacklisted, and ostracized for decades to crack their fascist psychosis.

      You should add that Saudi Arabia is holding back the rest of the Muslim world from coming to rescue. The House of Saud is also complicit.

      Chuck already has his beach front property picked out in Gaza. Dude personally helped get bulldozers for Isreal. What did Isreal need several hundred extra of those chuck? Fucking ghouls. Jeffries is no better.
