US Candidates Should Not Speak At AIPAC

Here are five reasons why Ariel Gold thinks presidential candidates should not speak at AIPAC:

1. AIPAC promotes Israeli settlements in direct opposition to international law.

2. AIPAC lobbies shamelessly for the US to fund Israel’s military.

3. AIPAC threatens and attacks anyone who is critical of Israel.

4. AIPAC acts as a de facto foreign agent pushing the US toward militarism rather than diplomacy.

5. AIPAC encourages Islamophobia.

I have two other reasons to add to his list:

6. Although we do a lot for Israel, I can't think of anything they have done for us.

7. Candidates are held accountable for promises they make to AIPAC, but they are NOT held accountable for promises they make to We The People. This suggests they work for Israel and not for us. It's time for that to end.
