The American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), the educational wing of hardline right-wing pro-Israel lobbying organization the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), is taking all but three freshmen US lawmakers on a tour of Israel, in hopes of turning them against the Iran nuclear deal.

Over 50 US congresspeople will meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel in August.
---
Human rights and anti-war group CODEPINK, which has been advocating on behalf of the Iran nuclear deal—which will prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in return for lifting US sanctions on the country, and which is supported by the overwhelming majority of the international community—has been closely monitoring the planned trips.

“AIPAC trips to Israel are designed to give congresspeople a one-sided view of the region, the view of Bibi Netanyahu,” remarked CODEPINK National Coordinator Alli McCracken. “With war and peace in the balance, perhaps the Congresspeople should take a side trip to Iran to get a more balanced picture.”

It's time to punt AIPAC.

2. USA tour

Who do these people represent, anyway? They should take a tour of their own districts, speak to citizens about their complaints. Is this unprecedented, going overseas to undermine the President and leaders of 5 other countries? They do not have to worry about replacements while they are gone, since the crew in DC does little to nothing on a daily basis, anyway. Disgusting. Who votes for these anti-Americans anyway? Suspend their pay, let Bibi pay them, since he is getting more support from them than President Obama is.

4. AIPAC ---- Israel's interests alwaya before America's.

Remember the U.S.S. Liberty

8. The USS Liberty, eh?

"There have been at least six government investigations which reached relevant conclusions as to the facts of the attack.

Those investigations, and their results, are as follows:

-C.I.A. report June 13, 1967 No malice; attack a mistake
-U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry June 18, 1967 Mistaken identity
-Report by Clark Clifford July 18, 1967 No evidence ship was known to be American
-Senate Select Committee on Intelligence 1979/1981 No merit to claims attack was intentional
-National Security Agency 1981 Mistaken identity
-House Armed Services Committee 1991/1992 No support for claims attack was intentional

5. It's really IPAC. Not once has that organization tried to

advance the interests of the United States, they are de facto lobbyists and agents serving a foreign power, and occasionally spying on behalf of that power.

6. Why is this not called what it is...

That would be BRIBERY!

7. I see that Gwen Graham (FL-DINO) is on that list.

I can't not vote for her right now, not my district, but I have already asked her to take me off her email list, due to the way she votes and her membership in the New Democrat Coalition.
Once someone is on my DINO list, they don't get off my DINO list.

Those who say we can get the Democratic Party back to things like, say, actually standing for the planks in its platform, surely must see that a lot of the new blood are DINOs, and Debbie DINO intends to keep it that way.

This is why AIPAC is successful. Americans identify with Israel & support her overwhelmingly over the PA/Hamas.
