  • It’s a lobby organization in favor of the state of Israel. They spend significant amounts of money on elections, to favor the side that best represents Israels interest.

    Edit: thanks for asking the question. So Wikipedia said they were founded after the backlash against Israel for their Qibya massacre. Which is when Israel decided to massacre a small village to make a statement (“kill any Jew and we will kill 20 of yours”, I guess). And the world was actually outraged. Also the guy who led the operation would later become the prime minister of Israel. And the government of Israel communicated the obvious lie that they had nothing to with this heinous crime…


  • At least among the Democrats there are some folks who oppose Israels actions. Things would likely have played out at least a bit less crazy with a Dem majority. Also, the Democrats have now twice joined the Paris accords, with Trump leaving them twice. And you don’t see the Dems raging against “windmills”. Defeatism has directly contributed to the world heating up several points of a degree more than it would otherwise have, which can potentially result in millions more deaths. Iran, Venezuela and Cuba would more than likely have been left alone without Trump. By all means, strive for something better. But don’t let that come at the cost of something much worse. And don’t spit on the graves of the folks whose life it has cost.
