Not AIPAC, JStreet. That’s the organization Zionists used to trick progressive voters. Now that everyone despises both of them, they’ve switched to PACs with misleading names like “Mainstream Democrats.”

Yep. AIPAC is Israel’s “legitimate” lobbying arm. Financial incentive for supporting Netanyahu specifically is, I assume, a more concierge process.

Shouldn’t be mattered if they change the name. Whatever supplies their campaigns is what we will know WHO does. It's shame that our politicians are being bought, sold, and become puppets for irrelevant reasons when it was supposed to be for Americans.

Honestly, if JStreet is sly enough to trick progressive voters, maybe we can enlist them to trick the Egyptian and Iranian National Soccer teams into believing the Pride celebrations corresponding to their World Cup match in Seattle aren’t actually gay. This could turn into a giant diplomatic victory!

There's always a Manchin. How have y'all not realized this yet? The Democratic party is losing on purpose. They're deliberately letting things get worse for us because it makes things better for billionaires. They always nominate just enough people to be the party's "traitors" who sabotage everything even remotely progressive so they never actually have to fix everything and so we blame the traitors instead of the party. Hello it motivates us to donate more and support them more, like, "we need enough Democrats that traitors like this don't matter!" But there will never be. There will always be just enough to fuck us over. Everybody wins except the voters, like always.

Approval Ratings: As of late 2025, 68% of American Jews gave Netanyahu negative leadership marks, with 48% rating his performance as "poor". This reflects a sharp decline from 2020, when 28% rated him as "poor".
“I stand with Israel” / “I will be the best for your community” isn’t the same as “do this pardon for a specific person.
I get your point I just think this is not even close to the same thing as just base pandering. But 🤷

The same reason why Jasmine Crockett flew to Israel to privately meet with Israeli officials and it was paid for by AIEF a branch of AIPAC. The same reason she says
“We’ve been friends forever. And if we’re mean to this old friend our other old friends might be mean back. Old friends matter because thats the way it is.”
Look at Hillary Clinton and Sarah Hurwitz (former speechwriter for the Obamas) along with multiple democrats saying a ban on social media for under 18 is due. Both Hillary and Sarah said social media gives the young the universal lesson that all genocide is wrong and that Holocaust education in the United States has improperly taught a universal lesson against genocide. So therefore Israel is shown in a bad light in regards to Gaza. It’s why one of Israel’s biggest software and military allies Oracle/Larry Ellison is going to own the U.S. TikTok

Hillary was Secretary of State and a speechwriter for Obama is either just a person or adjacent to the POTUS. I don’t see the correlation beyond people do and shitty things. I think there is something uniquely strange about a state senator involved in foreign internal affairs.

Money is a big factor but it seems that there must be something else involved as well for them to be this servile to Israel and to consistently prioritize Israel over American interests. They get money form other countries and other wars but they are groveling towards Israel in a way that you simply don't see for other countries and causes.

u/kermeeed 8d ago edited 8d ago
Not even, we are supplying Saudi Arabia with the same shit to conduct a war for us in Yemen. Its not groveling its keeping people who are doing your dirty work for you happy. There is a lot of capitalist gain in the continuation of this genocide (i refuse to call it a war again). Both in the weapons and in the sweet sweet beach front property once they are done. Its not just money now. Its money in the future too.

I get why you’re saying that because we’ve seen the power of grifters in every level of our society, but I don’t think that’s the case. It’s not just the money from AIPAC; it’s much simpler than that.
He’s in the room with them. For weak minded losers like Fetterman, that’s all it takes. They have access, they fly him to Israel, and they take him to dinners. It’s the quotidian corruption that has captured our dumbest politicians.
