    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.

      Harris has spoken at their conference multiple times

      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.

            Online it sure seems like people care… Anytime I bring this issue up in normal life, I get treated anti semetic conspiracy theorist…

            So is this American public in the room with us right now?

            I accepted the fact that genocide will continue, best I can do is document my disapproval and let people around me know what’s up.
