WITH THE DEMOCRATIC primary season winding down, members of the Squad are speaking more directly than ever about the role that the pro-Israel lobby played in silencing critics of Israel’s human rights abuses in Congress, as well as Democrats’ complicity.
As the Democratic National Convention entered its final day in Chicago, the topic of the war on Gaza and the role of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in elections had been largely absent from the main stage. No Palestinian speakers got time on the dais, despite the protest efforts from the “Uncommitted” movement this week.
Instead, the conversation among Democrats about pushing for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to U.S. weapons shipments to Israel, and the party’s role in allowing AIPAC to shape its primaries has been taking place outside the United Center, where progressives held protests to hold convention delegates’ feet to the fire.
And victims of AIPAC’s political campaigns were on hand to add their voices to the demonstrations.
I didn’t expect this to go mask off antisemitism.
It’s the evil zionist globalist bankers Jewish conspiracy!
Bowden would have lost without AIPAC as well. Him trying to skate the Free Palestine movement was a desperate move, when he was already doing badly.
That said. There should be no PACs at all.
No antisemitism to be seen. The same people is referencing people who think they can buy policy and politicians, regardless of what people want. That is what’s happening here.
So any complaint about rich, powerful people pulling the levers of government is antisemitic now? GTFO.
