AIPAC

Thu, Mar 5, '26 at 3:06 PM

AIPAC is of course the American Israel Public Affairs Committee which is a massive pro-Israel lobbyist group or PAC.

I was shocked to see that they have contributed money to almost every person in this current sitting US congress. It's of little surprise that while many congressmen and women are speaking out against the Dotard's war with Iran very few actually criticize Israel.

What is interesting is that Israel is the only country on the planet who is allowed to have a lobbying group in the US and who are allowed to give money to electoral candidates.

If any other country did this, or try to do it, it would be deemed as foreign interference.

Extraordinary.

There was a ton of AIPAC money funneled into defeating Mandami's mayoral run.

But the bannuhs still managed to pull through and win. Even the Dotard was impressed!
