AIPAC convenes annual conference in Washington amid division

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....

No, they’re not wild-eyed zionists.

APIAC is mostly liberal Jews. I remember when Trump spoke before them during the campaign. I was thinking it might not go well lol. But he made a good speech—and it was right then, that I began to think he could actually pull it off.

But this is a stupid bone headed political move by the democrat contenders. It’s almost like they want to give Trump the Jewish bloc.

AIPAC convenes annual conference in Washington amid division

to be fair the sentence is incomplete......"amid division among demmycrats," is more like it.......

Right in what way lol?

AIPAC is a PAC just like any other so it’s not like it’s beyond criticism. But democrats aren’t going to get away with kicking AIPAC to the curb while readily accepting CAIR and sundry leftist anti Semites into the fold. As well they shouldn’t—it gives every appearance of giving at least tacit affirmation to anti Semitism. In fact, I don’t know what else you’d call it.

If you/they are advocating cutting off Israel—good luck to both of you. You’re going to need it on Election Day because it’s not the Jews who are paying attention to this.

im against cair too.

[Darth Omar]

im against cair too.

The Muslim organization named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism funding suit lol?

Me too. I see no justifiable reason to single out AIPAC or our support of Israel since they are a liberal democracy and our strongest ally in the Middle East.

So, as far as democrats are concerned Jews are a dispensable minority lol?

Republicans too. We're approaching the age of Latinos.

But US President Donald Trump may have already given Netanyahu the upper hand when he 'recognised' the occupied Golan Heights as Israeli territory on Thursday.

Payback time.
