People who ask why AIPAC receives so much scrutiny should dig deeper into the organization. They're spending $800,000 in Iowa alone, to run deceptive ads under a bogus name, for the purpose of attacking Bernie Sanders' health. They don't care about the health of Sanders, they only care that Sanders won't be as generous about supporting Israel as Trump has been. These are Americans, acting on the behalf of a foreign country, to soil the public image of an American running for President. Why is this ok?
The AIPAC has been a long-time self-identified mission in advocacy for pro-Israel opinion and policies. Those who support them include Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Robert Menendez, Paul Baglia as well as several well known Republicans.
The DMFI Pac is composed and sponsored by pro-Israel democrats, some of whom also support AIPAC and it's complimentary mission. Donors and leaders are often active in both groups.
So your "point" is what? That pro-Israel organizations have the "nerve" to have some members or donors or interests in common?
The obvious and utterly understandable political partnerships are what one expects in politics... yes Captain Louis Renault, as shocked as you are there is "gambling going on in here".
