Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess. Bad form, Congresswoman. That's the second anti-Semitic trope you've tweeted.
@IlhanMN To all the people in my mentions and DMs who think that S1 was the work of AIPAC: I have a bridge I want to sell you. Either way, OF COURSE it's possible to critique AIPAC et al in a non-anti-Semitic way. This ain't it, chief.
@IlhanMN How, you ask? (1) Be accurate. AIPAC has taken a huge hit in the Trump era. (2) Avoid the conspiracy theories David Duke loves about dark Jewish money and Jewish pupeteers controlling stuff (3) Recall the 80 million evangelicals who are the actual Israel lobby, for whom S1 tolls.
@IlhanMN Also, since y'all are here: Stand up for Palestinian civil rights. Criticize the Occupation. Don't allow Netanyahu to speak for you as a Jew. None of us are free if all of us aren't free!
@IlhanMN More on this: "IlhanMN's tweet cast AIPAC as a nefarious organization controlling the levers of power, buying politicians w 'Benjamins' & bribing them to betray America. It belongs in a Der Stürmer cartoon, not on the Twitterfeed of a U.S. Congresswoman."
