Here is another anti-Zionist who also happens to be Jewish.
I'm 100% certain people will accuse him of not being a "real" Jew, of not being Jewish *enough*, being antisemitic, maybe even a holocaust denier.
Why? Because he believes Zionism is antithetical to Judaism.
That's it. That's his crime

Be aware, some will accept (reluctantly) Rabbi Weiss is in fact Jewish, but because he addresses holocaust deniers directly, they'll imply he is one.
He isn't.
Being anti-Zionist doesn't make this Jewish man antisemitic, nor does it make him a holocaust denier.

Like I said, some people will claim Jews who are anti-Zionist are not "real" Jews.
When someone implies a Jewish person is somehow less Jewish because they criticize Zionism, you know they have no credibility.
There's no such thing as the "wrong kind of Jew" . . .

If the "National Association of Realtors" was thanked so many times by the leader of a foreign country, that it made people wonder why it isn't registered under the relevant transparency laws for such lobbying, then I'm sure people would be concerned about that too . . .

If the "National Association of Realtors" start carrying out unregistered lobbying for a foreign country whose former intelligence officers explain how labeling people antisemitic is standard tactic they've used because "that's one stain you cannot wash", then people may be concerned.

When the "National Association of Realtors" has even MAGA Republicans complaining about the fact that "everybody has an AIPAC person" perhaps people will be concerned about the role that organization has in politics too.

When employees from the "National Association of Realtors" (including one of its Directors) are indicted by the FBI for handling classified defense documents that were passed on to the Israeli government, then people may suggest that organization is acting as an agent for a foreign principal too.

Seems noisy here. Time to🔇
But if anyone says (or implies) that anyone who raises concerns about the role of AIPAC in US politics is "antisemitic" don't buy it.
Judge every case on its merits.

Rabbi Weiss happens to be anti-Zionist
Some people will try to tell you he isn't a "real" Jew (despite his family being killed in Auschwitz for being Jewish) or that he is somehow "antisemitic".
Don't listen. Legitimate criticism is not "antisemitic".

The idea that all criticism of the Israeli government or AIPAC's political influence is driven solely by antisemitism is as absurd as the idea that none of it is.
Some of those critics are themselves Jewish! Reality doesn't fit into nice neat narratives.

I don't like the politics of either of the people in this video, but jfc when right wing MAGA politicians are calling out AIPAC, you know something's up.
"Everybody has an AIPAC person..."
This is just capitulation to a foreign state.

It's not antisemitic to say:
- More members of Congress are receiving funding from AIPAC than any other lobby group advocating for foreign interests.
- Two AIPAC employees (including its Director of policy) were indicted by the FBI in 2006 for handling classified defense documents, sent to Israel.

Show another with the same influence as AIPAC, and I'll criticize them too if they're not registered under FARA.
And many Jews are critical of AIPAC (Jews are not a hivemind -don't be antisemitic!)

That $26bn is in sales to Qatar.
Sales =/= aid.
In contrast, Israel receives military aid through Foreign Military Financing. Who pays for that?
US taxpayers ($38 billion over 10 years)
Those terms are thanks to the huge influence AIPAC has in Congress. Much more than Qatar could even dream of

Strawman. Lots of groups lobby for foreign interests.
The issue is that such lobbying groups should be transparent about the fact they are acting as the agent of a foreign principal.
Of those groups, AIPAC is most influential and the most egregious. So it gets mentioned the most.

How much US funding and military aid has Qatar received?
How many "state legislators" visited Qatar together?
How many members of Congress publicly say "I support Qatar" while displaying Qatari flags?
AIPAC funds more members of Congress through lobbying and has more influence than Qatar.

I'm not buying that. Even right-wing members of Congress are calling out AIPAC (and losing support from their MAGA buddies over it).
"Everybody has an AIPAC person..."
No organization with links to a foreign state, should be able to exert that much influence on Congress. I don't care who it is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any senior executives in the American Realty Association have been indicted by the FBI for handling classified defense documents which were passed to the Israeli government.

If someone wanted to highlight the issue of foreign states influencing domestic politics, AIPAC would be the org they naturally focus on though, because of the amount of influence and the obvious red flags, like an AIPAC director being indicted by the FBI for spying on behalf of Israel in 2006 etc.

AIPAC is a lobby group.
It operates the "AIPAC PAC" (which most people just call AIPAC for short) - see FEC filing below.
As a lobby group AIPAC, by definition, acts to influence government policy.
And there is reason to suspect it does so for a foreign principal (Israel) in violation of the law.

Yeah, there's also a point where "domestic lobby for US-Israeli interests" becomes "lobby working for Israel".
I'd say that point was in 2006, when AIPAC staffers (including a Director) were indicted by the FBI for handling classified DoD documents sent to the Israeli government.

The "foreign lobby" allegation isn't antisemitic if there is supporting evidence.
Pointing out that in 2006 Larry Franklin was convicted of spying for Israel and two staffers from AIPAC (one a Director) were indicted by the FBI for handling classified documents, is *not* antisemitic.
