The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is one of the most powerful lobby organizations in the country. AIPAC’s clout helps fuel a never-ending cycle of violence in the Middle East.
Here are ten reasons why AIPAC is so dangerous:
1. AIPAC is lobbying Congress to promote a military confrontation with Iran.
2. AIPAC promotes Israeli policies that are in direct opposition to international law.
3. AIPAC’s call for unconditional support for the Israeli government threatens our national security.
4. AIPAC undermines American support for democracy movements in the Arab world.
5. AIPAC makes the U.S. a pariah at the UN.
6. AIPAC attacks politicians who question unconditional support of Israel.
7. AIPAC attempts to silence all criticism of Israel by labeling critics as “anti-Semitic,” “de-legitimizers” or “self-hating Jews.”
8. AIPAC feeds U.S. government officials a distorted view of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
9. AIPAC lobbies for billions of U.S. taxdollars to go to Israel instead of rebuilding America.
10. Money to Israel takes funds from world’s poor. Israel has the 24th largest economy in the world, but thanks to AIPAC, it gets more U.S. taxdollars than any other country.
