Five reasons #AIPAC picked @SecDef Lloyd Austin to speak this week:

1: @AIPAC chose Secretary of Defense Austin because he prioritizes Israel over pressing US national defense concerns.

We compare his flawed priorities with Pres Reagan's who said "no."

#2: AIPAC chose Secretary of Defense Austin because he advocates for Abraham Accord illegal territorial land grabs that benefit Israel and weapons sales to Arab monarchs.

Under Israel's urging, the US will support annexation of 10x as much land as Russia.
#3 AIPAC chose Austin b/c like @AIPAC he believes in Israeli entwinement into many U.S. sectors where it does not belong....

Israel's foreign influence operation demands that @SecDef appear before its closed confab, presumably so that @AIPAC can boast about its undue influence on US elections.

The @TheJusticeDept can be counted on to keep sitting on its 1962 order that #aipac register under FARA. Image
Secretary of Defense Austin dishonored JFK at AIPAC

@SecDef @AIPAC @TheJusticeDept Latest Podcast episode:

"Secretary of Defense Austin Dishonors JFK at AIPAC"

podbean.com/ew/pb-jjcaw-13…

Given the year, 1962, is this some kind of cover-up?

For a small but vocal minority of right-wing American Jews represented by AIPAC, an authoritarian America that blindly supports Israel is preferable to a liberal democracy that does not. Hence, funding insurrectionist Republicans. #AIPAC
The vast majority of American Jews, including Zionists, do NOT believe this. But GOP billionaires who fund AIPAC surely do. They are a cautionary tale of what happens when Jewish identity and democratic values are totally subsumed by right-wing Zionism.
This may not be Twitter appropriate, but it’s crucial for Jews and non-Jews alike to understand what we are dealing with and what AIPAC represents. “Jewish fascists” is not a term I ever thought I would use, but there are extremist versions of every faith.

Israel Free Trade Area Agreement #ILFTA
35 years ago following bitter complaints by U.S. exporters the FBI launched a counter espionage investigation targeting the American Israel Public Affairs Committee #AIPAC and the Israeli embassy. bilaterals.org/?us-israel-fre…
U.S. exporters at the time were near unanimously opposed to opening the vast U.S. market to Israeli exporters in exchange for limited, variable and tightly controlled U.S. access to Israel’s tiny market.
AIPAC and Israel worked every angle to pass the 1985 U.S. ILFTA, the first of a string of so-called “Free Trade Agreements.” The joint effort by Israel and its lobby included stealing and using data provided in confidence by U.S. exporters to the International Trade Commission,

Here is #AIPAC officially taking the position that the US should indeed list & sanction human rights investigators !!!
CLASSY!!!
Please feel free to keep this in mind next time #AIPAC lectures us all on Israel & International Law, Israel as the only Democracy in the ME, etc ....
For "Law and Order" people, both domestically & overseas, a CENTRAL point is that the PERPETRATORS of violence should be the ONLY ONES allowed to investigate their OWN alleged crimes.
This is true for the Police.
And it is true for Armed Forces & other State agents.
Aka: IMPUNITY
In 2018 @ronenbergman published book where he revealed senior Israeli @IDF officers created & ran terrorist group that killed hundreds of civilians in #Lebanon in 1980s. There is a LOT #AIPAC is hoping ICC NEVER starts looking into. To ensure impunity, the US does come in handy

"Stop Israeli terrorism now!"

Pro-Palestine protesters marched today from the White House to #AIPAC to demand "End AIPAC now!"

#AIPAC2020 #Palestine
Some of what you'll see includes anti-Semitism. This is both a content warning and a caution against generalizing the protest on this basis.

Some using those words were asked to quit it by their own side.

This is the livestream of what happened: facebook.com/N2Sreports/vid…
Protesters chanted "Free free Palestine!" as they approached AIPAC, where police had multiple layers of barriers erected.

One took it further, yelling "death to Israel!"

@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump @IlhanMN #Israel is a theocratic apartheid military police state.

People are segregated and one segment of people are reduced to living in dire conditions, suffer human rights abuses and abject poverty. They are beaten back by the military when trying to assert their freedom.
@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump @IlhanMN Why we would support ANY theocracy I have no idea, but we also support #SaudiArabia, a theocratic monarchy.

It doesn't make sense, if we support theocracies, why isn't #Iran our ally? Did we have to pick a side and decide to go with Sunnis instead of Shiites?
@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump @IlhanMN If the United States separates Church and State according to our constitution, and is devoted to promoting democracy worldwide, we should not be ignoring our values in order to create alliances. If they want to be allies, these countries can change

This is sick👇😡@neeratanden's McCarthyist smears of @TulsiGabbard, a major in the national guard, and Congresswoman with higher security vetting than any of the candidates, a veteran who has literally put her life on the line to defend this country, losing friends in the process
President of the Center for American Progress (#CAP) & @TulsiGabbard's smear-merchant, Neera Tanden👇🤨
On Mar 26, 2019, during #AIPAC’s festivities, #NeeraTanden & the #Israel lobby held another event at the offices of the Center for American Progress.

#NeeraTanden's other donors👇
On issues related to the M.E, #CAP has worked hand-in-hand with reps of #SaudiArabia & the #UAE. Who have increasingly relied on funding think tanks like CAP as part of their lobbying efforts in Washington.

🇮🇱🇮🇱THREAD ON ANTI-SEMITISM & ISRAEL🇮🇱🇮🇱

Those who conflate opposition to unquestioning support for Israel with anti-Semitism are like #JussieSmollett: they cheapen the experiences of actual victims of anti-Semitism
Let's be clear, anti-Semitism is real and, sadly, it's on the rise in the U.S., especially since the 2016 election. According to the Anti-Defamation League, there was a 60% increase in anti-Semitic incidents from 2016 to 2017.
adl.org/news/press-rel…
The massacre at the #TreeOfLifeSynagogue last fall was the deadliest attack on the American Jewish community in U.S. history. And it was committed by an anti-Semitic white nationalist.

How #Israel-i Propaganda (#Hasbara) Works: #TheLuntzDocument
If you want to understand how the #propaganda works you need to read the Luntz document -- "The Key," Luntz says, "is the Claim that the Fight is Over Ideology, Not Land. About Terror, & Not Territory."

1. The #NRA is to gun-fueled killiings in the US as #AIPAC is to big-weapons killings (& settler colonialism & Apartheid) in Palestine. This brief Tw essay will explore the finances of both orgs.
2. ProPublica has a great public portal for reviewing IRS's Form 990 forms for all 501c orgs. Both @AIPAC and @NRA are 501c-4 orgs, so can lobby. Both hv smaller affiliated 501c-3 (educational) orgs, too. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…
