Request to all "pro-Israel" Democrats...please repudiate AIPAC once and for all now. [View all]

The attack on Debbie Wasserman Schultz, one of the most "pro-Israel" Democrats in Congress, is the step too far. Rep. Wasserman-Schultz had done everything AIPAC ever asked of her, and they STILL went after her.

With that attack, AIPAC has branded itself, once and for all, as an organ of the right wing of the Republican Party.

This, coupled with AIPAC's support of the most hawkish and dangerous anti-peace factions in Israeli politics, makes AIPAC effectively an enemy of both Democrats AND Israel itself.

Time to break with AIPAC once and for all...before it damages the party you support and does irreparable damage to the cause of the country you are trying to support.
