Israel is the only US ally that has been exercising such oppression and terror for a lifetime. For many years, consecutive American administrations, both Democratic and Republican, condemned Israel’s recurring practice of terror. Today, however, the Biden-Harris administration has been supporting these practices to the extreme.

Money.

The precursor to AIPAC had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC sprung up immediately to do even worse shit.

Like, we just saw the primary where they'd throw millions into random House seats because the Dem incumbent was progressive.

Politicians either agree with Israel or are afraid to speak out.

Either way they need replaced, because the fucked up part about Russia influencing our elections illegally, is Israel is a perfect example of how to loophole it. There's nothing stopping other countries from doing this, and with how poorly the pac system is regulated, they probably already are.

That doesn't seem right. In that case, why isn't the US captive to the Russians? I think the true answer is a bit more nuanced that this.

Seems like maybe it's time for the AIPAC to register as a foreign agent.

Who was AIPAC's predecessor?

That part is new, PACs were not really a thing prior to Citizens United (2010). But yes that needs to be reversed somehow, even if by constitutional amendment.
