Note: This thread is about AIPACs war against Rand Paul. Please do not attempt to discuss Israel/Palestine in this discussion. Thank you.
AIPAC exists as a lobbyist group for foreign interests, spending millions of dollars per year to influence American elected officials to give money and favoritism to a foreign country. Unlike Russia, Israel enjoys near unanimous support in the House & Senate, thanks to AIPAC being allowed to operate with virtually no oversight or scrutiny from the American media or Congress.
Does AIPAC's War Against Rand Paul Constitute 'Foreign Meddling'?
WASHINGTON — Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has drawn the ire of Israel advocacy groups for blocking a vote on legislation that codifies a decade-long Memorandum of Understanding between Israel and the US worth $38 billion, negotiated by the Obama administration in 2016 and supported across the political aisle.
AIPAC’s sponsored Facebook and Twitter ad asks Kentuckians to “Urge Senator Rand Paul: Stop Blocking Aid to Israel.” CUFI’s action fund this week launched a two-week, $100,000 digital and cable news ad “asking voters in the Bluegrass State to call or email Paul’s office and request he stop blocking this vital legislation.”
In 2014, Paul introduced a pro-Israel bill to the Senate that called for the cancellation of aid to the PLO unless they recognized Israel as a Jewish state and terminated terrorist activities.
