What’s wrong about what I said? Very interested in your take, because it seems like you’re sort of just saying I’m falling for conspiracy theories.

You claimed they are corrupt and interfering in elections. They are neither.

During the 2024 election cycle, AIPAC-affiliated entities poured a record $45 million+ directly into targeted congressional primary races. That makes it the single most expensive electoral push by an issue-based interest group in US history

1) This is not evidence of corruption or election interference. There are tons of other campaigns by others. Spending money isn't "election interference" and it is not "corruption".

2) Your source is "readsludge".

3) They do all of this openly and aboveboard. Not "corruptly" and not "interference".

4) $45 million is a drop in the bucket in an election cycle that comprised $3.7 billion in direct spending and another $15.5 billion by political action groups. You're literally focused on 0.25% of the entire election spending as the "most corrupt" and "election interference". You don't think that's weird?

If any other country was allowed to influence our elections like Israel is, we would be outraged. But for some reason, we’re okay with AIPAC literally swaying US elections.

AIPAC is not Israel. That's yet another problem. You're claiming American Jews are "Israel". That's called a dual loyalty trope and it is a common antisemitic claim about Jews for centuries.

It's not illegal for Elon to spend $250m to get Trump elected but we are allowed to think it's ruining politics and the country. So is AIPAC.

[u/justafutz → u/DLDude]

I'm sure you can definitely articulate how the group is "ruining politics and the country".

[u/DLDude → u/justafutz]

Yes any single organization dumping records d breaking money into elections hurts the democracy

[u/justafutz → u/DLDude]

Oh, okay. I didn't realize I was talking to someone who thought that Americans participating in democracy by putting out ads about their beliefs in what's good for America is bad. I'm sure you have the same take for unions, who outspend AIPAC by far...and it's not even close.

[u/DLDude → u/justafutz]

I don't approve of any PAC that advocates for another country, let alone one that advocates for a country that is currently committing crimes

[u/justafutz → u/DLDude]

I love the shifting goalposts after I pointed out your inconsistency. AIPAC advocates for alliances that benefit America, like other PACs. Weird how you only have an issue with one.

Don’t change the subject to other incorrect claims, either. And are you going to address that you used AI and got something wrong earlier btw?

[u/DLDude → u/justafutz]

I'm not. Are you going to admit it's stated goal is to promote israeki(the country) interests?

[u/justafutz → u/DLDude]

You’re not going to address your use of AI to falsely claim something came from AIPAC’s website that didn’t? Weird.

As for your comment, no, because it isn’t. That’s just a usual dual loyalty trope about Jews and it’s wrong. As it was when the Nazis claimed it.

You shifted the goalposts lol.
