AIPAC breaks with Netanyahu over Omar-Tlaib decision

29

It is disgusting and ill-advised of AIPAC to criticize Israel for refusing to allow Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to embark on an anti-Israel propaganda trip.

Instead of criticizing Israel, why doesn’t AIPAC aggressively attack Omar and Tlaib for their support of the BDS Movement? Why does AIPAC refuse to confront Bernie Sanders for consistently slandering Israel on television and social media? Because the people who run AIPAC are weak cowards, and are at a total loss as to how to fight the radical Left. As a result, anti-Israel sentiment within the Democrat Party is being normalized. That is why AIPAC has not been successful in persuading the Democrat controlled House to pass meaningful and biting anti-BDS legislation.

Soon the Democrat Party leaders that AIPAC relies on will retire. Pelosi, Hoyer, Nadler, Lowey, and Engel will soon be replaced by those who share the same views as Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. When that day comes AIPAC will surely sink. Their leaders will rue the day that they chose not to confront the radical Left in the Democrat Party.

A strong pro-Israel organization is urgently needed. An organization that does not cower. An organization that knows how to fight a war.

AIPAC breaks with Netanyahu over Omar-Tlaib decision

By Rebecca Klar, The Hill, August 15, 2019:

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on Thursday broke with Israel’s decision to bar Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) from visiting the country, saying “every member of Congress should be able to visit.”

“We disagree with Reps. Omar and Tlaib’s support for the anti-Israel and anti-peace BDS movement, along with Rep. Tlaib’s calls for a one-state solution. We also believe every member of Congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic ally Israel firsthand,” AIPAC tweeted Thursday.

The statement follows Israel’s announcement that the House Democrats will be prevented from entering the country as part of a planned trip over their support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

Israel’s announcement came shortly after President Trump urged the country to bar the progressive lawmakers from entering.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his country’s decision, citing an Israeli law that prohibits entry into the country for individuals who support a boycott of Israel.

Related: Omar went on a vicious anti-Israel tirade today. AIPAC criticizes PM Netanyahu for stopping this propaganda in Israel. Will AIPAC attack Omar for posting these lies? No way. #Cowards!

This is the most compelling statement I have seen on the general topic of Omar’s and Tlaib’s visit to Israel. For those who have been following Pamela for some time, it comes as no surprise that she and Dr Pipes would disagree.

http://www.danielpipes.org/19003/how-trump-put-netanyahu-in-an-untenable-position

And, as someone who believes in the power of critical thinking and the possibility of redemption for past sins, this, to me, was the best argument Pipes put forward:

the possibility exists that the congresswomen would have learned something during their travels to diminish their hostility to Israel. It has happened before. Jesse Helms, the longtime Republican senator from North Carolina, who died in 2008, was renowned for his hostility to Israel, for example calling in 1982 for a “shut down” of U.S.-Israel relations. But he was strongly affected by a 1985 trip to the Holy Land and became Israel’s staunch supporter. In a more recent case, former Islamist Maajid Nawaz recalled on Twitter Thursday that a “trip to Israel & engagement with Israeli humans changed me profoundly.”

By banning them, Israel precluded the kind of transformation Pipes described, as unlikely as it may seem with the two ignoramuses in question.

Except Helms wasn’t a Muslim dedicated to the overthrow of non-shariah compliant peoples/states. At the the time Helms was in office the overriding foggy bottom view was to demonize Israel in order to placate the Arab oil faction. That’s over now that we have our own energy production thanks to 45. Pipes is engaged in tunnel vision conflating said prior history with the current brainwashing takeover by the public school system.

But Nawaz presumably was. There have been other Moslem Israel haters for whom a visit to Israel has been transformational.

I think you set up a straw man you could assail.

No, the Nawaz change also occurred prior to the current public school brainwashing which Tliab and her ilk are easily able to exploit.

A pie in the sky hope is supposed to be the rationale for letting two f’ing muslums into Israel? People whose f’ing religion calls not once, not twice, but three times for the total extermination of Jews worldwide. Pipes, like you, is an islamic apologist cretin.

Nonsense. Pipes is dead wrong as he often is lately. Their agendas and itinerary made it perfectly clear that they Had neither the intent nor desire to meet any Israeli humans. They were on a search and destroy mission against Israel and Jews. The idea that they might be reformed is as ludicrous as the idea of Farrakhan being transformed.

This is beyond fanciful. Helms likely did not wish for the submission of Israel, let alone the end of the US constitution as a basis of rule here. Tlaib, and Omar are muslim Jihadists, thru and thru… of that there is no doubt. Pie in the sky dreams about how they see the virtues of Israel or Judaism are preposterous; they are a clear set of goals and agenda, and there has been no deviation by either of them. By banning them, Israel has begun to act like rational actors on the international stage. ‘Transformation’ has never been accomplished with Jihadi’s… witness the Jihadi courses parlayed across the nations, that have been utter failures in pursuading Jihadi’s that Islam wants other than Jihad of submission and or death to apostates. Submission to sharia defines such as Tlaib and Omar.

True. AIPAC is turning into one KAPO organization, while collecting MILLIONS of dollars in contributions. Since, AIPAC is failing to do it’s job, people should stop contributing to AIPAC and making their leaders rich. Sadly, this is hardly the first time in history where Jews have turned into KAPOS and went against their own people.

In our capitalist social systems, decisions that are incomprehensible to ordinary
citizens are always based on the same reason: valid financial interests. Over the
decades, structures of mutual dependence have emerged there that cannot be
resolved by a political or paradigm change. Money is sluggish, but firmly chains.
You can assume that money & power are not lent in these circles, but inherited.

MORE stoopid people. Soon, ALL OUR LEADERS will be stoopid leaders. I suggest all the INTELLIGENT and COMMON SENSE people stock up on the necessities to defend yourself NOW against your own government, which seem to be run by these illicit and harmful organizations like AIPAC, because when that time comes, AND IT WILL COME, you had better be prepared for these stoopid leaders who will forcibly take your guns/ammunition, remove you from your homes for speaking out against unrighteousness, and for just being WHITE or PRO-ISRAEL. AIPAC is an unrighteous, liberal organization just like the NAACP, which now tells all its members to hurt the Police if you are black.

ALL LIBERALS, INCLUDING LIBERAL ORGANIZATIONS, HAVE ONLY 1 AGENDA AND THAT IS TO TAKE CONTROL FROM RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE and hand that control over to Muslim and/or evil liberals.

LOL, a f’ing muslum complaining about apartheid is like Martin Bormann complaining about antisemitism. The entire muslum world consists of nothing but totalitarian, theocratic, religious (and frequently gender) apartheid states.

Exactly. It’s quite evident that AIPAC is FAILING in doing what it is suppose to do. This is in light of the fact that AIPAC and the other groups it controls, have received MILLIONS of dollars in contributions. So it seems AIPAC is just enjoying the riches of it’s contributions while not performing it’s job. This is wrong. Hence, Jews and non-Jews who have contributed donations to AIPAC, should stop doing so, since AIPAC is not doing what it’s suppose to do..

Ahh, look at the Jews feigning conflict among themselves again (AIPAC vs. Netanyahu) in order to control both sides of the narrative while downplaying their power and influence at the same time. Is anyone falling for this Jewish ploy? It’s pure Zionist theatre. It will be interesting to see how this cunning sideshow will eventually become advantageous to the Jews.

I remember AIPAC and the standing ovation and drooling over that anti america anti semite obama hussein. I never gave one cent after that or read anything they sent me. the ADL is the same. disgusting sniveling cowards. and the first place they will run when things turn even more sour than it is now is Israel.

Wait a minute. Israel, as a nation has the right and actually the obligation to keep out those who may want to harm it or their people.

Who do they think they are? Both AIPAC and Congress have absolutely no right to tell the Israelis whom to let into their country.

I stopped donating them many years ago too, when they accepted fake “two state solution” during Arafat days.
