(1,238 posts)2. I think the AIPAC has way too much influence, and it is not for the good of the US
To be quite blunt, when Ilhan Omar say it is all about the Benjamins, in some ways, she is right. AIPAC demands that we give Israel unconditional support. While I don't think attacking the AIPAC president's home is a good idea, I think they have too much power, money, and influence to the US. They really are holding the US hostage. Honestly, they are lucky we even give Israel support, especially with Netanyahu's government.

Or what? You don't think they are a big reason for trying to silence criticism of Israel?

None of what you said there provides any evidence that the U.S. is being held hostage by AIPAC.
