Careful: AIPAC may call you antisemitic for commenting on their effective lobbying

Edit: I wonder if the (predictable) downvoters are following the news https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/22/politics/mamdani-aipac-new-yo...

Wait. The Jews really DOES run everything?
They said Israel, not Jews. Don't be antisemitic.
All Jews are dual citizens of Israel. Whether or not they've invoked the right to return, access is made available to them by default.
That is absolutely false. Israel offering citizenship *does not* mean diaspora Jews are their citizens.

This regurgitates two lies:

1. The old antisemitic trope that Jews have dual loyalties, and are therefore, untrustworthy and not full citizens of whatever country they reside in.

2. The Israeli state's claim that it represents, and speaks for, all Jews, when it doesn't.
