Max Blumenthal does it again… at AIPAC!

Max Blumenthal documents the anti-Palestinian hatefest known as AIPAC. Watch the Zionuts in action.

Challenging AIPAC and confronting “US interests”

An effort to truly confront and ultimately strip the power of the pro-Israel lobby must become part of a broad, grassroots, mass movement.

AIPAC, a Night Flower

Like a night flower that blooms in the dark and dies with the light of day, AIPAC advances the interests of a foreign government while ensuring little public scrutiny.

AIPAC Doesn’t Speak for Me

Hedy Epstein, an 86 year-old Holocaust survivor, repudiates AIPAC and its defense of Israel’s discriminatory legal system and violent security state.

Truth Matters: Vanguard Leadership Group is Wrong

There are seasoned anti-apartheid activists who resisted injustice and suffered for it in South Africa. Then there is the American Vanguard Leadership Group (VLG). Who knows apartheid better?

AIPAC’s Implosion

When you’re at the top, you have no place to go but down.

For so long, the top dog of pro-Israeli lobbying has ruled the roost. With power barely checked and the ability to pretty much whip Congress into line on Israel, it was only a matter of time before internal divisions led to breaks within, threatening the regime’s reign over the Hill.

This rapprochement comes on the heels of a series of seemingly angry statements top members of the Obama Administration released, after Israel announced construction of 1,600 new illegal housing units in occupied East Jerusalem while US Vice President Joe Biden was in the country.

Same Khara, Different Administration

It’s no real surprise to anyone with even the smallest insight into the biased U.S.-Israel relationship to witness the Obama administration with all its hype, its drama and its flowery rhetoric (or Haki Fadi, Arabic for ‘Empty Talk,’ depending on who you ask), cave in to the pressure and drop its demands for Israel to halt its illegal settlement activity

AIPAC’s Recycled Congressional Letter

Earlier this month House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) teamed up to send out a “Dear Colleague” note seeking signatures “to the attached letter to President Obama regarding the Middle East peace process.” The “attached letter” called for the United States to continue to protect Israel, despite all [...]
