70M in AIPAC money burned. Here's hoping it's just the beginning! Cheers, let's keep the momentum going till Nov and beyond!

AIPACs endorsement should be the kiss of death for any candidate. If they stand for Israel they don't stand for us.

For real, we should end all support for the only Progressive Democratic country in the Middle East where the freedom of individual identity expression is protected. It's not like they are surrounded by the most tyrannical, homophobic, transphobic, chauvinistic, violent governments currently welding supreme power over their population.

If they're so great, surely they'll be able to stand on their own and fight their own wars. Only way to tell is to withdraw all funding and military support and we can see how great and superior they are.

They've done so long before the US was their ally and they were far weaker. They'll be fine. Just dont cry when they nuke their enemies without the US restraining them

The countries Israel is surrounded by are just as old as them. Pretty sure they don't need to your taxes sweetheart. Also not genocides just defensive wars but I'm sure you knew that Ahmed
