AIPAC Zionists' Video Describes Their Decades-Long Role In US Laws Against Fundamental Human Rights And BDS
If Americans Knew: AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is a powerful Washington DC lobbying organization. In this 2016 video, AIPAC describes how it has successfully worked to create U.S. laws against boycotting Israel over its multitudinous violations of human rights and international law. The video doesn't mention the anti-boycott legislation working its way through Congress right now (S.720 / H.R. 1697) that AIPAC helped draft: iak.salsalabs.org/antiboycottbill Such anti-boycott laws hurt everyone. They interfere with Americans' fundamental consumer rights and freedom of speech, often harm American businesses and thereby the U.S. economy, and damage American international relations. They prevent peace and perpetuate violence in the Middle East. By helping to sustain Israel's enormous power over Palestinians, they cause Israeli leaders to believe two things: they can ignore international law, and they don’t need to negotiate with Palestinians in good faith to reach a fair and lasting peaceful resolution. Ultimately, AIPAC’s actions have hurt Palestinians, Israelis, Americans, and the many of others impacted by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and by Israel’s various wars against its neighbors.
