the empire is working diligently towards making sure you only have access to the 'official' point of view, and here's another effort in that direction;


Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the first Palestinian American elected to Congress, is encountering roadblocks erected by a senior Democrat and a Republican lawmaker in her bid to bring a congressional delegation to the illegally occupied West Bank.
Tlaib’s plans are meant as a rebuke of the tours of Israel sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the leading pro-Israel lobby in the United States. The organization has, for decades, organized trips to Israel for freshman lawmakers to get a crash course in hasbara talking points. In 2017, AIPAC’s sister organization, American Israel Education Foundation, spent $2 million on lawmakers’ trips to Israel but cut down on spending during the 2018 election.
Another pro-Israel lobby group J Street, also spent more than $100K in 2017 to send lawmakers to Israel.............https://www.mintpressnews.com/rashida-tlaib-palestine-protest/254448/
