Israel lobby group AIPAC and the National Security Council come down on NBC for raising questions about a Biden aide who donated $559,000 to AIPAC — calling the story an antisemitic allegation of dual loyalty — and NBC retracts the story! A shocking case of influence in plain sight.

Israel’s leading human rights organization accusing the country of “apartheid” shows in the eyes of many Israelis, the government no longer possesses democratic ideals.

Netanyahu is running for reelection by saying there is “one state” between the river and the sea in which Jews and Arabs work together.
