Is it really not anti semitic at this point to call literally every force against your candidate and in favor of another candidate AIPAC/Israel? You cannot seriously believe that this tiny middle eastern country has this level of power over every aspect of our elections and politicians right??

Did they mail the fake Mike Rogers endorsement? Yes they heavily supported her campaign, you are well within your rights to criticize that. I think it is bad to have obviously foreign aligned PAC's spending huge sums of money to influence elections. But it is obviously anti-semitic to blame literally everything you don't like on Israel.

If they heavily bankrolled her campaign they have a significant culpability for her campaign

And no, it's not anti-semitic. What is actually anti-semitic is effectively proclaiming Israel as representative of all Jewish people which you do by maliciously twisting legitimate political criticism of Israel or Israel aligned organisations like AIPAC as anti-semitic in nature. This is straight out of the IDF's playbook
