Q: Should Democrats reject AIPAC money?
Sen. @VanHollenForMD: Yes, because what AIPAC demands is unconditional support for the actions of the government of Israel, regardless of what those actions are. We don’t do that for any other country in the world.
IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”
It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.
Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.
Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.
And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.
Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.
And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Former US Ambassador Chas Freeman exposes a terrifying coverup.
He confirms the actual death toll in Gaza is a staggering 680,000 people.
He reveals the Zionist regime intentionally hides these massive casualties to avoid genocide charges.
Modi is demolishing this 1000 year old mosque in Varanasi India! The world was in uproar when Taliban had destroyed a Buddha statue, the same world doesn’t notice while Modi is destroying one historical monument after another for the last 12 years.
How many times has Iran attacked US, and how many times has Israel attacked US. Who is a friend and who acts like one and every time we look other way we find a dagger in our back.
🚨🇺🇸Mamdani labels AIPAC "monsters":
"AIPAC... they move millions in dark money... to turn us against one another.
In the wealthiest city, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we need not live in fear of monsters any longer."

So Track AIPAC is a terrorist organization or is it a Terrorist identification organizations and these foreign agents of a terrorist state that have attacked US several times are not afraid of being exposed
AIPAC's Rep. Randy Fine called our organization a "Muslim terror cell" on national television yesterday.
@RepFine has received >$516,000 from pro-Israel PACs and blocked us on his campaign account @VoteRandyFine for calling him out.
For the first time in about a DECADE, the @IdahoGOP REJECTED a resolution supporting Israel!
The Israel Lobby has lost control of the Idaho Republican Party, and im absolutely ECSTATIC!
Heres a quick recap:
I am proud to be the first Democrat to take this pledge to reject money from AIPAC and affiliated groups, recognize the genocide in Gaza, and oppose aid to Israel and military sales that kill civilians.
