NOT allowing Israel to Control your Countries finances? That's ANTI SEMETIC!
It's actually anti-semitic for Israel to meddle in other nation's politics because ironically enough it affirms nazi propaganda about the world being run by a secret jewish cabal... add in the Epstein honeypot and one might be tempted to say it was true all along...
It's a fucking torment nexus.
it affirms nazi propaganda about the world being run by a secret jewish cabal
Except that Israeli manipulation of Western countries' politics is not at all secret. Netanyahu even brags about it.
It was secret for a time. Maybe an unspoken, open secret, but a secret you weren't supposed to talk about (remember when Ilhan Omar caught flack for calling it out?).
The Epstein honeypot and its israeli connection was a secret, until it wasn't...
And Netanyahu is an anti-semite, for the pure fact that he turns himmlerian propaganda into a self-fulfilling prophecy, and tries the attach the evil that the state of israel is committing to Jewish identity as a whole. That's literally anti-semitism.
Netanyahu is definitely one of my least favourite US presidents, along with Putin.
Let's strip away all the context here. No Israel. No U.S. no Democrats/Republicans.
Imagine I told you a fictional country, the United Grapes of Dumberica was formed.
Now imagine I told you that the government of this country had people from foreign governments both friendly and hostile giving them money.
In what logical universe would would that be legal?
Well i just create a law that says it's legal, and use the wages you earned as a productive member of society to fund the force of oppression against you. And if you dare say anything, I'll label you as a terrorist.
Pretty simple really.
Then I'll burst into any room and exclaim we are the greatest grapers in the entire world
You sound like a big grapist.
I just explained how the US government operates lol
Ok. I wasn't criticizing.
My bad. Apologies.
I forgot i set the joke up, and failed to capitalize on your continuation. I'm an idiot.
There's next time no worries.
Politics is hard.
If a pedophile can do it, how hard can it be?
Not that kind.
This is a giant waste of time.
A) Restricting AIPAC just means capital and influence will flow from other, more obscure sources. It's squeezing a closed tube of toothpaste.
B) PACs should be illegal, full stop. So long as PACs exist, capital will continue to flow into our politics. And as the cost burden of jumping through regulatory hoops and sidestepping ridiculous half-measures like this one is trivial for large donors, PACs disproportionally benefit highly-funded causes as opposed to those powered by small donations.
No half measures. Make PACs illegal.
Yep. If we can't wave a magic wand and fully solve all problems instantly we should just do nothing.
Fuck Lemmy.
Ah, but this might be a step in that direction.
After all, what politician receiving AIPAC funding is going to vote to make PACs illegal?
Take that nectar away, and what's stopping them?
But the gEnOsiiiiiiiDE!!1! /s
Just saying, screaming lefties won’t scream if it doesn’t say Zionism on the tin. So - sure, use the undemocratic tools provided by the fascist courts. Dog forbid anyone dig further than one layer into an issue.
Maybe if democrats credibly supported anything else, you wouldn't have to be so dismissive of the anti-genocide left.
DNC “You could say AIPAC’s arguments moved me to a BIGGER HOUSE……. I said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet. Oh, dear.”
Timing this a week AFTER Palestinian-American progressive badass Kat Abughazaleh lost her primary by just four thousand votes.
A primary where both the eventual winner and the third placed establishment favorite were supported by millions of dollars worth of AIPAC ad campaigns.
As they should. AIPAC funding is going to be the most toxic thing to any Democratic Party candidate's campaign this election cycle...
DNC will purge this guy too. Dinosaurs and their paymasters want blood.
Dnc will move from aipac to j streets
AIPAC is already simply using cutouts to hide where the money is coming from
So it was not only Russia influencing politics...
The Iranians were trying, with little success. Likewise the Chinese, though I don't believe their role is as well understood, mainly because they're better at securing their operations. The Saudis and Gulfies were also funding a lot of botnets and trolls.
Ohhh????!
