A few questions for @SherylNYT and the @nytimes on yet another hit piece on @AIPAC:

1: Why headline the story. "Israel Lobby Convenes in Washington Amid Fraying Bipartisanship and Rising Tension

It is not the Israel Lobby. It's a pro-Israel lobby. There's a difference.

2. You wrote, "Aipac, which aligns itself closely with Mr. Netanyahu’s far-right policies."
Please supply evidence. @AIPAC hardly supported Trump's move to give Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

3. "A string of Democratic presidential candidates...are skipping the conference."

See Ron Kampeas piece explaining that's biz as usual in off election year: jta.org/2019/03/22/pol…

4. "..many young Jews who are increasingly willing to accuse Israel of human rights abuses."
Care to quantify "many?"
There isn't a single poll that shows younger Jews are ending their support for Israel. That's what folks who live inside the NYT bubble believe, it's not a fact

5. "B.D.S., which is aimed, in part, at pressuring Israel to improve its treatment of Palestinians."
No it's not. It's aimed at the destruction of Israel. Stop whitewashing BDS.

Here's @SherylNYT's story.
