Many people are comfortable throwing rocks at AIPAC. As a result, other people have spoken out about this type of rhetoric and how linking the discussion of $$$ and Jews controlling things is rife with antisemitism.
MANY Democrats and Republicans receive money from AIPAC. It is an American organization run by Americans which is a thing that happens.
Now I’m getting it in my replies from people who should know better. AIPAC doesn’t control the U.S. government. Cut it out.
@tjcasser Jews aren’t progressive. (bullshit), Jews are right wing (bullshit), Jews are MAGA (bullshit), the dual loyalty trope (antisemitism), and blaming Jewish money for the fact that your campaign isn’t doing well (more antisemitism.)
At the least.
Using Jews as a scapegoat for your unpopularity isn’t progressive.
@TonyStark
I saw a post a week or so ago in which the poster tried to imply some weird conspiracy or cabal, or who TF knows what because AIPAC - wait for it - donates to Jewish politicians. Holy Moses and JFC, who woulda thunk it!
The next thing you know, the National Action Network will be supporting people of color!
@CatHerder It’s unreal. The Greater New York Hospital Association donated more money to the 2022 elections than AIPAC. You don’t see anyone going around saying the Greater New York Hospital Association is controlling the government.
@TonyStark@CatHerder Does New York have universal healthcare? The answer might tell you whether the Greater New York Hospital Association controls the government.
@BernieDoesIt@CatHerder They actually spent a lot of money recently fighting Medicaid cuts but I don’t know why I expect people to try and find anything out around here anymore.
@TonyStark That is too close to real honest to goodness conspiracy theorist. Super dangerous levels of disconnect there Tony, I'm sorry to read that.
No one controls the government in a secret cabal. Its all out in the public, and it is certainly not a marginalized group of people assaulted through history.
@TonyStark I knew that as I grew older I would long for the days of yesterday - but holy hell. I assumed they meant like, 10cent hamburgers and swimming in the watering hole.
I didn't think I would long for the days of "Nazi bad" being the ubiquitous norm.
