American Israel Public Affairs Committee

Is this not foreign influence on internal politics? How’s this legal?

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 15 points 2 months ago

When they realized the benefits of lobbying AIPAC split off from its mothership and was able to avoid foreign agent registration requirements.

Officially they are just Jewish Americans lobbying for genocide state due to religious connection or some shit.

In practice, they just do iaraels bidding. They should be forced to register and they should lose their tax exempt status. This getting into national security risk territory. We literally using American good will or whatever left of it to sponsor foreign stage doing a genocide.

Some how state department sees no wissue here... Clown fucking world.

Gold bricks Bob Menendez got nothing on AIPAC.

So I clicked this expecting to just find that they're lying pieces of shit.

But actually they're lying racist pieces of shit.

Not that I'm surprised really... just noting that fact.

Yeah the headline really undersells it.

The photo of Bush used in the AIPAC mailers was taken from a Missouri Independent article. In the mailers, part of Bush’s forehead has been photoshopped and appears sloped. The photos are also color altered.

Hmm... Well if this is true, surely AIPAC gonna get cancelled... Right?

Any day now.

Any day.

Any... Yeah nope. We live in a country with significant cultural and systemic racism.

Well yeah Zionism is an inherently a racist ideal. Of course they're racists.

You are being a goyim!

And not a single leading Democrat or Congressional Black Caucus leader will say a damn thing about it.

Wut. The photo looks the same to me, except the lighting is better in the altered one

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They've taken her forehead back and her jaw out. To make her look like a monkey. It's an attempt to tie into racist stereotypes visually instead of verbally.

I mean I read that too, but I can't see it. They need to put one on top of the other and draw some lines or something.

Edit: oh I just realized that the one on the left is the altered one. So the lighting is worse, not better. Maybe due to printer. Still can't see the chin or forehead differences

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's very obvious to me.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

its like... really obvious

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe I struggle with facial recognition, but it would really help if they were the same sized image, at least
