Responding to the AIPAC Conspiracy Theory
Manage episode 429749162 series 3563129
Does AIPAC act as a mechanism for Israeli interference in U.S. politics?
The accusation AIPAC represents a foreign entity interfering in our domestic politics is not an old one; anti-Zionist/anti-Israel politicians on both sides of the political aisle have peddled this narrative for years. The controversy surrounding AIPAC has come to light following 10/7 and with the rise in popularity of neo-isolationism on the conservative right.
Dominique is joined by Isaac Woodward to fact-check popular claims about AIPAC and respond to the anti-Semitic undertones in the growing conservative movement opposed to Israel. At the forefront of the neo-isolationist movement on the Right is Tucker Carlson; he recently interviewed Congressman Thomas Massie on his strong isolationist policy opinion.
Join Dominique and Isaac to discuss the claims made by Rep. Massie surrounding AIPAC's influence and tactics in punishing elected officials who oppose a pro-Israel agenda.
Is AIPAC a tool of the Jewish conspiracy or a tool used by anti-Zionists to vilify Israel and the Jewish American population?
