The Intercept: Meet the Secret Donors Who Fund AIPAC’s Israel Trips for Congress.

Once an unassailable powerbroker on Capitol Hill, AIPAC and policymakers who work to further its interests have faced increasing criticism in recent years, as some members of Congress and the American public question the U.S.’s blanket support for Israel.

Israel accuses Russian ally of anti-Semitism.

RT: Israel accuses Russian ally of anti-Semitism.

West Jerusalem’s top diplomat has condemned Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for his comments on a corruption scandal.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has been criticized by Israel for suggesting that a disproportionate number of officials involved in corruption scandals in his country are ethnic Jews.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that Lukashenko’s remarks were “unacceptable,” “outrageous,” and clearly sounded “anti-Semitic.” The rebuke came one day after the Belarusian leader ranted during a government meeting about a scandal implicating dozens of suspects, including former Agriculture Minister Igor Brylo.

“Here are 36 people on a list involved in corruption,” Lukashenko told the Council of Ministers in Minsk. “Sorry, I don’t consider myself anti-Semitic, but more than half of them are Jewish. Do they have a special, privileged role, that they steal and do not think about their future? Do they have privileges?” He added, “All people’s living in Belarus should be equal: Jews, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians, and Poles.”
[.]
Lukashenko was scolded again by the Israeli government after he said in July 2021 that the whole world had been made to “kneel” to the Jewish people because of the Holocaust.

Lukashenko has the list and identified half of them are Jewish. How is this, "anti-semitic"? What if they were Americans and he would have said, "half of them are Americans"? What if half of them were Irish, and he said, "half of them are Irish"...or, "Catholics," or "Amish," or whatever?

Kvetch, Kvetch, Kvetch. It never ends.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz ... the guy who wants American Troops fighting Israel's war for them and also wants Americans fighting in Ukraine. Fuck him. Let Israel and Ukraine fight their own wars.

Israel’s Propaganda Machine is Filling the Internet with Misinformation.

Current Affairs: Israel’s Propaganda Machine is Filling the Internet with Misinformation.

On the internet, hasbara now includes a network of websites and users dedicated to manufacturing pro-Israel posts and manipulating social media platforms to remove content sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. The online Hasbara Machine (Hasbara is a Hebrew word defined by the Israeli government as “public diplomacy” that seeks to “influence the perception of Israel abroad.”) is sophisticated indeed, and its existence raises an important question: why doesn’t anyone in a position of power seem to be concerned?

[.]
Until something changes, we can only conclude their rhetoric about misinformation is exactly that: empty rhetoric.

Article author Alex Skopic tested other online platforms, attempting to test the accuracy of reporting on what really is or isn't occurring in Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Want to take a guess on the responses? Read the entire story.

Maldives bans Israelis. Israelis whine to U.S. Congress.

VOA: Maldives to deny entry to Israelis over Israel-Hamas war.

The REASON Maldives is doing this is because of Israel's genocide of Palestinians, not, "because they're Jews."

The Independent: Israel asks citizens to leave Maldives after island’s ban on Israeli nationals.

Israel has advised its citizens to leave the Maldives after the government of the Indian Ocean archipelago announced a ban on entry of Israeli nationals amid the war in Gaza.

Keywords:  Israel "Asks" and "advised its citizens to leave."

Then, the uppity kicks in.

AXIOS: Maldives faces fight with Congress over Israeli ban.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) is developing legislation that would condition U.S. aid to the Maldives on allowing Israeli passport holders into the country, a source familiar with the matter told Axios.

    Gottheimer, one of Israel's most steadfast defenders in Congress, is working with colleagues in both parties on the bill, which will be called the Protecting Allied Travel Here (PATH) Act, the source said.

Name another country where the U.S. conditions foreign aid to that country based upon who they allow or deny passport visitation. Leave a comment, I'll wait.

Well, well, looky here; Gottheimer is on the payroll of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee. Public Affairs? Yeah, right). 

When is a lobby not a lobby? I guess it's subjective depending on whether or not the U.S. and Israel say so. 

The only thing more mind-blowing than the hubris and arrogance is the fealty of the U.S. Government to Israel. Stop supporting and voting for AIPAC candidates.

House can act fast when it wants to.

Rather, is told to.

NBC News: U.S. House votes to sanction international court over warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

The House voted Tuesday to impose sanctions against the International Criminal Court for its move to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials for war crimes in the nation's war against Hamas.

The vote was 247-155, with nearly every Republican and a few dozen Democrats voting for it. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio, voted present.

Wow. Talk about fast-acting! 

"Oy! Help us war criminals avoid ICC arrest!"

RINOs and UniParty reply in unison: "Say no more."

Ukraine and Israel say gimme money now! SNAP! House ensures they get it. Senate passes it within days. 

Ban TikTok! SNAP! "Say no more, Master!" House and Senate coalesce in no time flat.

Meanwhile, in America: 

Some Americans, devastated by these disasters, are ineligible for Federal Assistance from flooding and tornadoes? Others have to apply? Why? DC rains money down on Ukraine and Israel - they don't have to apply, they just demand it - so why aren't U.S. states a priority and treated the same? Follow the money. Following the money is never the wrong answer.

Massie easily won his race against the AIPAC sponsored opponent, whose campaign failed miserably.

New Arab: AIPAC lose bet in Kentucky primary race against Republican critical of Israel.

"After spending $400k+ smearing me, and watching me get 75%+ in the race tonight, they claim they weren't playing in the race. They deserve the ratio here," Massie wrote in another post, in which he shared the lobby group's statement that they were not playing in his race.

Good for Massie.

I'm hoping Americans affected by the excessive heat, fires, flooding and tornadoes aren't planning on voting Democrat this year. How can you?

Guess who wins.

Politico: AIPAC-backed Sarah Elfreth wins primary for open Maryland congressional seat.

The pro-Israel group boosted a state senator against a nationally known Jan. 6 Capitol Police officer — and won.
[.]
Sarah Elfreth, a state senator backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, won the crowded Democratic primary for an open congressional seat in Maryland on Tuesday — a major win for the pro-Israel group.

Elfreth defeated 21 other candidates, including former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, in the race to replace retiring Rep. John Sarbanes in Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District. Dunn, a first-time candidate, was seen as a formidable contender because of his personal story defending the Capitol against the violent mob on Jan. 6, 2021 — which he relied on as part of a campaign message focused on protecting democracy, drawing millions of dollars from across the country.
[.]
Elfreth, however, was the beneficiary of more than $4 million in spending from United Democracy Project, a super PAC funded by AIPAC. It was one of UDP’s biggest investments to date[.]
[.]
AIPAC, which spent heavily in the 2022 cycle and is looking to up the ante this year, has so far injected millions in both Democratic and Republican primaries in hopes of getting more pro-Israel allies in Congress as the war between Israel and Hamas continues.
[...] Dunn took issue with AIPAC’s involvement, centering criticisms of the group’s Republican donors in his campaign message, it turned contentious. UDP slammed Dunn, saying he should be “ashamed of himself” for running attack ads against Elfreth.
[.]
AIPAC has threatened to drop $100 million to support pro-Israel candidates this cycle.

Dunn takes issue with AIPAC's involvement in USA's political system, a valid concern. What happens? The Jews drop the hammer on him. "Oy Vey, you should be ashamed of running attack ads against Elfreth!" Because AIPAC has never run attack ads against any candidate they oppose, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. 

What -? AIPAC forgets just five days ago, taking out ads against Rep. Tom Massie because he thinks AIPAC has too much influence in our politics and that AIPAC should have to register as a foreign agent, which they aren't required. Massie is right and Jews kvetch, kvetch, kvetch. 

This is about Israel and Jews, yet it isn't. No other country should be allowed to exert this much power over America's political system. Yet, somehow, Israel has done just that. 

My opinion would be the same towards any other country or group usurping what is supposed to be American government with America's interests FIRST.

Remind me of how many American citizens with Israeli dual citizenship are members of Israel's government, the Knesset? Z-E-R-O. 

Stop voting for AIPAC financed candidates. Their interests aren't America First.

First they will successfully emasculate 1A. Next is 2A. If you can't or don't see this coming, what will it take to get your attention? 

Name another country that insists it not be subject to any criticism. I'll wait.

"Groyper." LMFAO! If you're white, American, a male (especially a male), hold conservative/libertarian political ideology (that they define as, "alt-right"), you're called any and all names and just have to accept it. But use the wrong pronoun with these people, like the redacted X user and the gates of hell swing open.

The largest and most influential lobbying group isn't a lobbying group.

The American-Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) doesn't have to register as a foreign lobby group, isn't that convenient for them? 

It's not only AIPAC. They're the tree with many, many branches. How many?

Israeli-Palestine News: The Israel lobby: A List.

It consists of numerous institutions and individuals that work to influence Congress, the president, academia, the media, religious institutions, and American public opinion on behalf of Israel. It has been active in the U.S. for many decades.

These groups drive legislation to expend $20 million per day on behalf of Israel despite Israel’s violations of international law and U.S. law, and Israel’s long documented human rights abuses[.]

ArsTechnia again: MicroSoft embraces quantum computing.  (Several Patches will follow, I'm sure).

It is a good article and explains quantum computing without being overly technical:

... traditional digital computers are made from bits, each bit representing either a one or a zero, quantum computers are made from some number of qubits (quantum bits). Qubits represent, in some sense, both one and zero simultaneously (a quantum superposition of 1 and 0). This ability for qubits to represent multiple values gives quantum computers exponentially more computing power than traditional computers.
