🚨NEWS: We sent @lukewgoldstein to AIPAC's policy conference this week. He secured a cache of documents, including AIPAC talking points used to lobby Congress. "Damning evidence that AIPAC is completely aligned with the far right of the Israeli government" prospect.org/world/2024-03-…
"AIPAC is instructing members to make assertions of fact to congressional staff that are not supported by credible evidence other than statements by the Israel Defense Forces, according to experts who reviewed the documents" prospect.org/world/2024-03-…
@ddayen @justicedems @lukewgoldstein Didn't need a cache of documents to reach that conclusion
@ddayen @lukewgoldstein Did you think they weren't? It's no secret
@ddayen @ryangrim @lukewgoldstein Why is this news? Do people actually believe otherwise? The centrists and virtually nonexistent mainstream left are still unapologetic zionists that support what’s happening in Gaza and West Bank.
@ddayen @lukewgoldstein Here's a fun find from the archives. AIPAC very much got under Yitzhak Rabin's skin 30+ years ago. Not so great about being on the right side of history there, AIPAC. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
@ddayen @lukewgoldstein This lobbying is not trying to persuade politicians, this is ordering them in effect to do what Israel wants. Politicians may refuse but then funding is withdrawn and reallocated to a political opponent to run against them. What about blackmail and violence if bribery fails..?
