Imagine living in a country hijacked by AIPAC. Oh wait, I don't have to imagine.

Dual citizenship donations should never be allowed ever no matter how many hands it changes. Plus the system is extremely flawed anyway besides that. Think people in power don't know that and keep it that way?

[stopthelies]

You should have reported this story Ronald Reagan years ago

[Odysseus]

I’d like to know how they got that money

"You would be wise to join my gang" ahh tweet

I love when you look at something like this and then they go. How dare you that’s anti-Semitic thinking that Israel is in control of how dare you

[Mighty_Atheismo]

Americans when they experience a fraction of the meddling they perpetrate through the CIA, World Bank, and IMF: 😢😢😢

Cant say this country doesnt have it coming.

So they supported friendly candidates. You have something you don't like about democracy? If you don't like it, support candidates you like.

F AlPAC all day but this theory about it being in control is false, and we need to address it. Because it’s problematic for the movement (for any anti-imperiaI mvmt). “The Lסbby” is dwarfed by the much, much larger business lobbies. It’s not even in the top 10.
Very convenient for the ruIing cIass to have us focusing on likes of AlPAC, instead of on them.

Although we shouldn’t rely on authority, note that Resistance agrees. Sayyed.Na.sraI.Iah came to this conclusion years ago, and stuck with it: “According to some theories, lsræI controls America. No sir. It is America that controls Israel. The story about the Jewish and Ƶiסnist lobby is – forgive me for saying this – a joke…”
