You know, much of the mystery of “why the fuck are you supporting Israel” would be solved if Biden would give us meaningful reasons why his support was so glib.
Literally every President and Vice President and the major POTUS candidates for at least the past two decades has spoke at AIPAC. Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush Jr, Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Sarah Palin. ALL of them.
If there’s another single issue lobbying group out there with more political power I’m unaware of them. AIPAC flexes so hard that even the NRA is jealous.
Holy shit. First of all, thank you for putting that much effort into your reply. Second, I’m glad to no longer be ignorant, but I’m sad about what I now know.
Top campaign donor for new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? Yup…AIPAC.
If you want to see how bi-partisan it is and how far back it goes just google the name of any House or Senate Majority or Minority Leader or Whip along with “speaks APIC”. Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy, Warren…ALL of them.
You mean President Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden?
The answer is pretty obvious.
Don’t doubt for even a single minute that AIPAC isn’t bending and twisting US Domestic politics for it’s own benefit.

You are welcome. It’s incredible how much influence AIPAC has on American Politics but for obvious reasons it’s rarely discussed.
Oh yeah, I forgot Vice President Pence, along with a veritable Whose Who of Democratic Leadership.
I also forgot candidate Kamala Harris.

Heck, last year nearly 3 dozen House Representatives went on an AIPAC sponsored trip to Israel!
The money will keep flowing to Israel and there’s almost no way to stop it.
