AIPAC’s favorite Senate Democrat, New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, may lose his seat following a second major corruption scandal. This could be an opportunity for Palestinian rights advocates.
In the 1980s, AIPAC tried to weaken U.S. policy toward an African dictator. Is the pro-Israel warhorse deploying the same maneuver again today?
Victoria Nuland, deputy secretary of State, says a Saudi normalization deal with Israel will assure Palestinians that the “prospect of a two-state solution stay vibrant and strong.” She’s lying through her teeth.
Palestinians didn’t even get lip service from Joe Biden in his meeting with Netanyahu, promising a White House visit. Biden threw liberal Zionists and Israeli protesters under the bus to keep AIPAC’s support.
In a recent interview billionaire and Democratic megadonor Haim Saban said that Bernie Sanders was a “self-hating Jew” and an “Israel-hater,” and defended his support for the lobbying group AIPAC.
Reflections on the obligations of progressive Americans at a time when the Democratic Party has endorsed the idea of a “Jewish state,” which is hurtful to all those not of the right religion.
Joe Biden can’t criticize Netanyahu and support the protest movement in Israel. No, only American Jewish groups have that power, former PM Ehud Barak says.
Signs that AIPAC is becoming a liability for Israel supporters became clearer this week when former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak attacked the Israel lobby group.
The White House push for Saudi-Israeli normalization is the tail wagging the dog yet again. The only ones who really want this deal are Israel and its lobby, to distract the world from apartheid in Palestine. So Joe Biden is taking it seriously, dispatching one official after another to the Middle East.
Why did progressive Rep. Becca Balint go to Israel on a trip sponsored by AIPAC? “I was on this trip with people who absolutely disagree with me,” she says. And left the trip off social media. Still!
