AIPAC Losing Grip On U.S. Politics: Cory Booker Shouted Down!

Cory Booker and President Joe Biden.

American Israeli Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] has donated to Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ). It is one of the most powerful lobbyist groups next to the National Rifle Association. They have been relentless on defending Israeli interests and trying to stifle criticism as a product of antisemitism.

AIPAC has openly criticized nine Democrats and one Republican for not supporting the $14.3 billion in military aid to Israel. They ignored the do nothing lawmaker from Georgia.

Booker went to Israel two days after the Oct. 7 strike by resistance. Hamas launched a resistance that led to a massive response by Israel.

The two are locked in this notion that even in a one sided war, "Israel Has The Right To Defend Itself." That slogan has led to Israel committing unthinkable crimes against humanity. The senators look the other way and allow Israel to literally carpet bomb heavily populated areas.

Even they know that moving 1.5 million people from the northern Gaza Strip is impossible.

They know that a ground invasion will only spark a global war.

They know that Benjamin Netanyahu will go down in history as the 21st Century's newest bad guy. 

Booker was hold a town hall and he felt the outrage of supporters who felt he let them down. 

The protesters interrupted Booker’s speech to his Democratic supporters by shouting, “Ceasefire now!” Since the start of last month, Israel and Hamas have been engaged in a military conflict over the Gaza region after the militant group launched a surprise attack on the US ally.

Pro-Palestine supporters have demanded that the U.S. limit its military and financial aide for Israel as well as call for a ceasefire in the region to avoid further bloodshed.

Booker initially welcomed the protesters, noting that the “power of protest” is what makes “America so great.” However, as the chants continued Booker tried to stop the shouting by starting his own counter-cheer.

“That we have what makes America great. The power to protest. Power to have respect. Power of America,” Booker said over the microphone as the chants of “ceasefire now!” grew louder.

Could Washed Up 45 be the new Grover Cleveland? 

Cleveland who served as the 22nd and 24th president was not good. 

But Cleveland ran on the dog whistle politics that brought him a new term. Washed Up 45 has an iron clad grip on supporters. They are motivated to vote. 

Arab American, Muslim and young voters had enough of this. With this conflict in the Middle East, Democrats are seeing their chances of winning slipping fast.

President Joe Biden and his team are not panicking yet but the latest polls show that in a matchup against Washed Up 45, he could very well lose.
