    tbf, in this election they did not campaign for Israel like they did last time.

    most of them will probably still support Israel. but they were quiet about it.

    at least we got Abdul and the death of aipac

      They did though they picked AIPAC prominent Hakeem Jeffries as speaker and the DSA threw its own national power overboard so they could endorse Zionist Nithya Raman

      This may be the end of AIPAC specifically, but it is not the end of the Israel lobby. They’re simply getting better about laundering their donations in the name of optics now.

      • I’m sure they have had a brainstorming session on how to influence elections in another way.

        BTW, the way AIPAC is structured, it can easily turn into dark money.

        (AIPAC doesn’t donate to candidates, it tells rich Zionists to donate to donors, not hard to make it shadowy)
