    Oh, no, it’s an absolute disaster for our country. But it’s a simple fact that any US politican who dares defy AIPAC will be denied office.

    We just had an election. How are there 15 votes remaining outside of the genocide caucus?

        Sounds to me like AIPAC is picking its battles, then. Because Sanders, Tlaib, and AOC were all up for reelection, all defied AIPAC, and all three won re-election.

        AIPAC is powerful, yes, but not omnipotent.

        Genocide is morally reprehensible and loud and constant opposition is the only way that it becomes politically toxic enough that no one dares support it.
