They are essentially putting Israel as priority number one. America is not priority number one. Israel is and Israel interests.
Semantics. Calling them agents for a foreign government when they're American citizens
Again, being labeled a "agent for a foreign government" does not mean your not an American citizen....
promoting a political cause you disapprove of is awful TDS.
Since I quoted someone who said, "
"The bottom line is that AIPAC, which is a de facto agent for a foreign government," its somehow like this quote is the worst thing ever. Yea I openly disapprove AIPAC and one of the reasons why I disapprove of AIPAC is because they promote Israeli far right policies, they are a mouthpiece for the Israeli government, they openly brag about how they procure billions and billions in aid for Israel from congress, they hold Congress feet to the fire if they dare speak out against Israel or vote against some of their policies, they simply are a de facto agent for a foreign government that has obtained millions and millions all spread throughout the many PACS they run.
You're really saying a lot but do you have any real argument here? You're saying that the previous organization was supposed to be registered under the FARA, meaning not AIPAC,
Do you not understand? They essentially refiled their tax paperwork and simply just changed names.... Same organization, different name.
": The ongoing Jewish Agency conduit payments through the AZC to Kenen for lobbying reveal the AZCPA wasreally a “sham” organization. When the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (or AIPAC) finally incorporated, itshould have claimed its major funders—the AZC and Jewish Agency—as its predecessor organizations. Instead, theAIPAC claimed the sham AZCPA as a predecessor."
you're saying its founder used to work for Israel, meaning doesn't work,
Lets see what the founder said of AIPAC:
""The lobby for Israel, known as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) since 1959, came into existence in 1951. It was established at that time because Israel needed American economic assistance to enable her to absorb the huge influx of refugees who poured into the country soon after statehood."
And lets see what else he said about AIPAC:
In his biography "Israel's Defense Line", Kenen revealed his transition to an unregistered lobbyist for Israel:"Israelis began looking for a lobbyist to promote the necessary legislation … would I leave the Israeli delegation for six months to lobby on Capitol Hill? There were other questions. Should I continue my registration as an agent of the Israel government? Was it appropriate for an embassy to lobby? Embassies talked to the State Department, and American voters talked to their congressmen."

you're saying the previous organization was funded first by Israel, which
AIPAC isn't, so what exactly is your claim here?
Lets see here. The founder of AIPAC stating that the AIPAC was actually founded in 1951, thus essentially verifying what I stated earlier that the American Zionist Council was essentially AIPAC, we have the founder of AIPAC also stating that the whole purpose of AIPAC was founded to lobby America on Israel's behalf and Israel essentially also help found it, and we also have a money trail on how money was laundered to AIPAC from the Israeli gov...
Can't you just say the obvious - I hate Israel and thus I think the state should treat this organization that says things I don't like to hear differently? That would be much more respectable you know.
:lamo
Sure, I think our relationship needs to be reformed. Still invalidates your claim.
