AIPAC is not on America’s side…

Harris has spoken at their conference multiple times, and I really hope recent events have changed her mind, but we can’t stop pressuring her and the party at large to do the right thing and stop allying with genocidal religious extremists.

You’re misunderstanding, America is not on your side.

The military-industrial complex, which AIPAC is a manifestation of, is more American than you or me.

Eisenhower tried to warn us, but nobody (or not enough people) listened.

Maybe Eisenhower should have listened to himself and, while we’re at it, allied with Castro and Ho Chi Minh when they asked.

Every American President, most of the VPs, and nearly every Leader of both the House and Senate have spoken at their conference for the last 30 years.

Turns out we, the American public, can bring quite a bit of political pressure to bear now that we know it’s happening.

Alternative title:

Voters who actually vote at the ballot support Israel while not supporting Netanyahu and support Palestinians while not supporting the homicidal death cult known as Hamas

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bold calling the just one side a death cult when Israel has a protocol on when and how to kill their own soldiers and citizens.

It’s even more bold calling the homicidal death cult Hamas “one side”. It’s almost as if you are equating an entire people to a terrorist organization, which I very much disagree with.

Hamas is a homicidal death cult, and they should not only be intolerated by modern society, they should probably be eradicated, as they openly desire to eradicate everything that modern society values: life, freedom, equality, equity, and the pursuit of happiness. They want all of that destroyed, and their religulous extremism to be in control. That is why they use Palestinians as literal human shields as they wage their homicidal war on modern society.

And I weep for those human shields that Hamas has gotten killed. And I weep for the Israelis whose families were murdered on October 7th.

But letting Hamas exist only opens up more opportunities for Hamas to kill more human shields and more innocent Israelis.

This idea that Hamas is the only problem and they just need to be “eliminated” is so short sighted and shows a complete lack of understanding of the situation. Do you really think that if Israel kills every member of Hamas, Israel can just leave and Gaza will be free and never attack Israel, because that is pure fantasy.

Hamas is a symptom of the underlying issues not the cause. The cause is cycles of assymetric violence, deprivation, and dispossession caused by Israel. Until those issues are solved there will always be orphans of the last conflict with no hope for a better future willing to commit acts of violence against the state they blame for there horrid conditions. There will also always be some organization, if not Hamas then possibly something worse (Islamic jihad), to direct and amplify that anger.

This also assumes Hamas can be eliminated, which is a big assumption. They’ve already started doing guerilla attacks in the previously “cleared” north. Support for Hamas has gone up since the war started and you can’t kill a political movement with bombs, the u.s. learned that with Afghanistan. The only way is to remove the supporters of that movement, ethnic cleansing, which is Israels true endgame, because they know as soon as Hamas is eliminated another organization will just take its place.

This isn’t people voting against her for not being pro-israel. AIPAC doesn’t run attack ads based off that because they know most people don’t care and half of those who do care are on the other side. Most of there money and advertising goes to emphasizing other faults with the candidate that people do care about, for Bowman and Bush this time it was about not voting for the infrastructure bill with no context as to why. This isn’t a reflection of a silent majority of Israel support, it’s a reflection of what money can do in politics.

Idk, there’s some plausibility to that, but it could also be quite a bit of both.
