AIPAC money is specifically used to lobby for the deaths of other people, specifically Palestinians.

Used to ignore the theft of Palestinian homes in the West Bank.

It's used to ignore the the slaughter of children by the thousands.

It's used to ignore that only Palestinians, both Arabic and Christian, face the death penalty in Israel.

It's used to convince politicians to ignore that Mango Mussolini's "Peace Board" is meant as a front to commit genocide in Gaza and reshape it as a vacation destination for the very wealthy.

It's used to convince politicians that it was fine that the US has committed to put thousands of our soldiers on the ground in Iran but Israel would commit zero.

That's why.
