AIPAC convenes annual conference in Washington amid division

The 2020 contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination skip AIPAC, as discourse on Israel changes among youth.


AIPAC, one of the most powerful lobby groups in the United States, is facing new criticism from Democrats and advocates for Palestinian rights as it convenes its annual policy conference this week amid a widening US political divide over Israel.

"AIPAC is faced with a unique set of challenges this year. There is a change in the discourse," Abed A Ayoub, national legal and policy director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Washington, told Al Jazeera.

"You see a lot more individuals on the left, Democrats and progressives, realising that Israel is complicit in human rights violations, that what they are doing to the Palestinians is essentially an Apartheid state and the US is supporting this to the tune of billions of dollars a year," Ayoub said.

The wise ones are anti-fascism, whether that be Jewish fascism or the red-neck American variant.

"About 300 people protested Saturday afternoon in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli side of the Golan Heights over U.S. President Donald Trump's call to recognize Israeli sovereignty in the territory.
The protesters were residents of the four Druze villages in the Golan, who, according to participants of the demonstration, were joined by Israeli Arabs from the Galilee and Nazareth.
Waving Syrian and Druze flags and carrying images of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the protesters declared the Golan is Syrian territory and that the U.S. president does not have the authority to decide its fate.

Exactly why is the US getting involved in this? Will the US be sending Troops to protect Israel's claim?

AIPAC isn't some wild eyed bunch of Zionists

The Case for Aipac
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/o...ipac-2019.html
Critics say that the pro-Israel group is too powerful and too far to the right. Neither is true.
Until recently, if you had asked most Jews, it seemed like playing the Aipac card had gone out of fashion around 2007. That was the year two political scientists published a book called “The Israel Lobby,” with its sensational claim that Aipac, short for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and other Jewish organizations controlled American policy in the Middle East.

Their timing was lousy. By then, Aipac’s influence, whatever it had been, was already in decline. After Barack Obama was elected, the group didn’t even have enough juice to stop his Iran nuclear deal, despite a full-court press.

But this Sunday, when 18,000 members and supporters are expected to descend on Washington for the annual Aipac Policy Conference, a new wave of anti-Israel critics, including several new members of Congress, have resurrected the anti-Semitic canard that American Jews have too much power. And they’re blaming Aipac again....

" Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” she wrote on Twitter.

“Being opposed to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and the occupation is not the same as being anti-Semitic," she continued. "I am grateful to the many Jewish allies who have spoken out and said the same."

Clever gal.

Who's the moron in the ' Violent by nature ' T-shirt ?

Is it possible for the Dems to elect a President without the Jewish vote?

No- it's a foreign agency manipulating American politicians for the causes of ' Izrael First ' and neo-Zionist hegemony.

Mearsheimer and Walt tell it like it is.

That would depend almost entirely upon the nature of the hold that MOSSAD and the Shin Bet have over the Congress and Senate - malignant and/or benign- and have very little to do with the very small numbers of Jewish-American voters themselves. There are almost as many Muslim-Americans to cancel them out.
For ' hold ' include the conditioning of white American Evangelists.
