Unprecedented interference by Israel of U.S. politics

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Sissyk (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

AIPAC will be flying out all but three freshmen Congresspeople to Israel in effort to sabotage Iran deal:

Two separate trips are being organized along partisan lines for meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Netenyahu—one for Democrats, and another for Republicans.

The Democrat trip begins on August 3, and will be led by House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland).

The Republican trip begins on August 8, and will be led by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California).

Unbelievable.

Any congressperson who makes that trip should lose his or her position. They are supposed to look after the best interests of the United States of America, not that of any other country. It is really shameful that Democrats are participating.
