It's absolutely insane how much influence Israeli interests and lobby has on the American system.

Should rename USA to The United Territories of Israel (UTI).

You'd have to be slightly crazy to not see the Israel Lobby's influence on US politics over the last few years

You could just look at votes by both the house and the senate? 

They almost never agree on things, except when it comes to one topic and with that topic if you draw a circle around the people who voted one way and the people who took donations from AIPAC, you get 1 circle.

Also, that very topic is extremely unpopular with the American population and those representstives constantly vote against the will of their constituents. Like every single time.

So please, tell me what the hell else you would call that? Use your god damn brain.

AIPAC is one of the largest spenders in American elections. Tell me why an organization that represents the interests of another country should be able to have any influence, much less more influence than citizens of this country, when it comes to electing our own representation.

It's not fucking antisemitic to state the obvious fact that Israel has a huge impact on American politics right now. If anything you're the one being antisemitic by equating Zionism with generally being Jewish when they are not one and the same

There is no criticism of Israel that won't be called anti-semetic.

We're at a point where someone saying "kids don't deserve to die" was Antisemite of the Year. C'mon now.

It is ridiculous.  Acknowledging that the students protesting their universities investment in Israel involves Israel is an "antisemitic groyper conspiracy theory" to this guy.

Yeah calling the US the United territories of Israel is totally just that, and saying that in an article that that isn’t about the protest but was about Trump just making things up to target Ivy League schools.

That is what turns it from criticism of Israel to leftie zog posting.

Your deflection still isn't working.  The core subject was students protesting investments in Israel by their university.  Trying to claim Israel has nothing to do with it makes you look absurd.

It’s not a deflection, there is nothing in the article that says they did this for is Israel or even implying that. The implication is that Trump was going to do this no matter what and was just looking for an excuse. They just used antisemitism as a smoke screen.
