If the money AIPAC raises has no influence on how politicians vote in regards to Israel, why would they bother raising it? AIPAC is legalized bribery and Israel has absolutely bought off our political class.
I assume that you find nothing wrong with Omar's comments, then? How quickly have I been disappointed...
Which comments did she make? I only read the two tweets relating to AIPAC and "Benjamins".
If you read the article, you would also find that she retweeted a comment referring to Jews as "hook-nosed". And her reference to Benjamins was clearly utilizing one of the most common anti-Semitic tropes out there.
The Benjamins comment has nothing to do with an anti-Semitic trope. She's making a sarcastic remark referencing the blatant fact that AIPAC bribery influences politicians attitude towards Israel. It has nothing to do with any Jews=greed stereotype, it isn't even directed towards Jews. It's just saying that politicians who are insanely pro-Israel are probably influenced by the massive of amounts of cash they get paid to have those views.
