As Jewish person, can I say to non Jewish friends - you have EVERY right to question AIPAC without being Jewish.
And without being knowledgeable about all the details. You're allowed to have some facts wrong.
And without calling out China or Saudis first.

AIPAC is a dangerous right wing organization that organizes HATE so that your tax dollars, your security as Americans, and your power at the UN make the daily targeting and humiliation of Palestinians and others possible.
Every hour that you go to work, your money is used for it

If you're afraid to speak up, don't be.
People before you have taken great risk to their jobs and safety so you don't have to!
And people will back you up!
ESPECIALLY American Jews.

In fact, you can spin the globe of atrocities and decide you're ONLY going to focus on AIPAC and Israel's attempt BEND American democracy and liberalism in order DEFEND right wing Israeli attack on democracy and celebration of ethnostate politics.
We are afraid to talk about it because we don't want to harm Jews. Which is a good starting point because it's based on compassion and appreciating our historic suffering and our current day risks with white supremacy.
But you can't fight white supremacy by upholding it.

And don't get it twisted, what Netanyahu and others are doing in Israel, no matter what you feel about Jews being white or not, just as a Black man and woman is being used by Trump to destroy public housing, is UPHOLDING white supremacy therefore it is WHITE SUPREMACY.
Race is a social construct. Myth. White supremacy isn't. It's responsible for genocide of untold billion. And it uses Israeli government's abuse of Arabs, Muslims and Black and brown people as a tool to divide us so that our idea of what it is is blurred and muddy.
Every Democrat, in every office, large or small, should be forgiven for attending AIPAC hate fests but they must make "Teshuvah", reparations and walk it back. If they do not, we must drop them and replace them and make the message clear.
