best not get caught speaking the truth about aipac because that will identify you as being anti-semitic, but when the insiders say the same thing it ain't, creating a conundrum, or would it be a mexican stand off;
A debate about the power in
Washington of the pro-Israel lobby is underway, after Rep. Ilhan Omar,
D-Minn., responded sharply to reports that Republican leader Kevin
McCarthy was targeting both Omar and fellow Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a
Democrat from Michigan.
Omar quoted rap lyrics — “It’s all about the Benjamins baby”
— to suggest McCarthy’s move was driven by the lobby’s prolific
spending. Asked specifically who she was referring to, Omar responded, “AIPAC!”
The debate over the influence of
pro-Israel groups could be informed by an investigation by Al Jazeera,
in which an undercover reporter infiltrated the Israel Project, a
Washington-based group, and secretly recorded conversations about
political strategy and influence over a six-month period in 2016. That
investigation, however, was never aired by the network — suppressed by pressure from the pro-Israel lobby.
In November, Electronic Intifada obtained and published
the four-part series, but it did so during the week of the midterm
elections, and the documentary did not get a lot of attention then.....https://theintercept.com/2019/02/11/ilhan-omar-israel-lobby-documentary/
