AIPAC may have been a big tent at one time, but now it is solidly under the control of the hard-liners. As is Israel.

AIPAC does not represent me. Bibi does not speak for me, and I am in good company among many, if not most.

AIPAC and Bibi are operating against the best interests of the Democratic Party and the United States.
