Alright, it is after the midterms. Let me add a few comments.
Looks like some of my assumptions were wrong. Recall isn’t a thing in NY and plenty of other places. Good thing I am am one of those “lifelong learners”.
There is some suspicion expressed as to, “Why Jeffries”? It really is the Speaker thing. It’s not the Black thing, or the Dem thing. Add the AIPAC thing and that’s the whole story. Or most of it- my original impulse was a 3-stage election process including the general, the primary, and then a recall the AIPAC candidates phase. But across the board recalls just wouldn’t be practical because of the scale of AIPAC’s reach, where it is a thing at all. So, I thought, how do we get Congress to understand that the public is serious about wanting representation for us, US citizens, and not the interests of some foreign power? My answer was to dry the big fish and recall Jeffries, for replacement with a not-AIPAC rep. It’d make a lot of other scalps itch at the least.
No, my animus towards AIPAC and Israel is not a story of anti-Semitism. For one thing, if it weren’t a historical thing, I’d consider it laughable and absurd. Anti… Semites? Really? A morphological prejudice? Because what, they’re too swarthy? Wrong kind of nose? If you could see me, you’d understand I am no position to criticize anyone’s nose. I don’t even get it.
If you think it is anti-Judaism, well, I don’t have a problem with that, either. Be Jewish, this is America, you get to be whatever you like. My position on Israel itself is probably controversial though: what religion is represented by genocide? None! It is offensive to me that they continue to present themselves as a “Jewish state”. No they’re not, they’re monsters. I’ll stop there.
As for “Jews control everything”, well, they control what they do, but I don’t think it is a conspiracy. And that’s not the problem. Hijacking my government to drag us into Their war is the problem. I will not be forgiving them, I want them converted to Palestine or else conquered and gone away, and the never, Ever want them influencing my government ever again, in any way.
“AIPAC isn’t foreign money”. Legally, no, but sure, bub. Who believes Israeli money doesn’t flow into AIPAC and to our politicians? Maybe we could make a poll of that.
Anyway, the elections are over, the Iran war seems to have been the biggest issue, and for all the criticism in this thread, I haven’t seen much r distance to the idea that Israel dragged us into this war. Utterly unacceptable, and I want AIPAC out of our politics, foreign money or not. And that is without mentioning the MOSSAD/Epstein manipulations. I have simply had it with Israel, and had it with AIPAC, and sacking an AIPAC speaker seems like a decent way to send that message and maybe effect change.
