Point of order! This film is propaganda. How do I know?
Because @MorLoushy failed to interview the one person who worked for AIPAC under every CEO -- 1/
New Israeli film projects AIPAC's steady drift from idealistic bipartisan roots | Times of Israel timesofisrael.com/new-israeli-fi…
2/ One person worked at AIPAC for 25 yrs - under Kenen (pic), Amitay, Dine, Sher, & Kohr. Loushy never approached him.
Who did Loushy ignore? ME.
I worked with Rosen, Weisman, Rosenberg, Bloomfield, et al. Some were bitter after interpersonal clashes, not policy. One had a -
3/ one of the interviewed developed such a pathological hatred of Israel & AIPAC, Tom Dine told me he suspected a breakdown.
Per one report, the New Israel Fund paid for the docu. NIF always despised @AIPAC, much prefering the partisan, Abbas-kissing J Street.
4/ I left AIPAC in 1997, but still admire its efforts to strengthen the US-Israel alliance.
AIPAC never gave campaign contributions or endorsed candidates (unlike J Street). To this day, it works with pro-Israel activists across the US who support candidates from both parties.
5/ .@MorLoushy Below are pictures of me with a dedication from Tom Dine, and a Pic of AIPAC staffers strategizing at a Washington Policy Conference - Dine, Toby Dershowitz, Rosen, and me.
Was your failure to ask my opinion about @AIPAC a sin of omission or commission?
6/ H/T @paulrubens for alerting to docu's claim "first time that founding fathers of AIPAC are speaking out."
What BS. @MorLoushy doesnt pick up AIPAC story til the 1980s.
Founding fathers? Maybe sons & nephews.
Paternity: Kenen, Irv Kane, Israel Miller, Ed Sanders, P Bernstein.
7/ Sorry @MorLoushy. I have not seen your film yet, but you lost me when you considered MJ Rosenberg a bonafide source. For 15 yrs he has been spewing hatred, even calling for recognizing Hamas in 2006. More on that here: jpost.com/jewish-world/t…
