Related: About this forumFormer DNC co-vice chair calls AIPAC a 'foreign influence operation'
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)David Hogg, a progressive activist and former co-vice chair of the Democratic National Committee for several months, is being widely accused of Jew-hatred after saying that AIPAC is the most successful foreign influence operation in U.S. history.
Shockingly, a politician who was fired blames the Jews, said Rabbi Steven Burg, CEO of Aish. Weve never read this script before.
Daniel Sugarman, deputy editor of the Jewish News in the United Kingdom, wrote that its genuinely quite astounding how in the space of two decades, neo-Nazi talking points about Jewish influence, couched in language about Israel or Zionism, became widely accepted on the American far-left and increasingly tolerated within the wider left.

Great example of the horseshoe theory:

        IT IS NOT A FOREIGN ENTITY.  AIPAC stands for the AMERICAN Israel Public Affairs Committee.

(4,780 posts)6. IT IS NOT A FOREIGN ENTITY.  AIPAC stands for the AMERICAN Israel Public Affairs Committee.
        It is a U.S. based lobbying organization registered in Washington, D.C., and is incorporated under U.S. law as a domestic nonprofit organization.  It is an advocate for strong U.S.-Israel relations BY U.S. CITIZENS, WITHIN THE UNITED STATES.
AIPAC is a grassroots organization funded by private U.S. citizens.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) and the Arab American Institute (AAI) are examples of domestic groups that lobby and advocate for Arab American interests. 
You do realize this is the Jewish Group?
