Everyone is on the lookout for neocons but there's a beast that's equally as bad : the Israel first candidates.

Pete Hegseth.
Marco Rubio.
Kristi Noem.
Elisa Stefanik.
Mike Waltz.
Mike Huckabee.

All of these idiots value Israel's prosperity over American prosperity. And they've all proudly declared it many times. Occasionally you'll see a random Twitter post from any of these phonies joyfully announcing that Israel is our greatest ally ( but never declaring exactly why .) When I was younger I used to imagine they'd be tweeting this with a gun held to their head. Then I realized that it's actually just their assigned AIPAC agent making sure they pay their penance.

Ironically the 2 actual Jews in Trump's cabinet seem to represent American interests much more than the listed fools above. Stephen Miller and Lee Zeldin have show a strong record of supporting America first and Trump policies.

But the Israeli loyalty is a cancer in American politics. They're not exceptional as a nation. If any other nation had an AIPAC style lobby, they'd be registered as foreign agents.

Again some of Gen X, but much of the millenials and Gen Z completely understand this. The Zionist Christian boomers have a major blind spot on this issue.

I'll leave you with a quote from our incoming Secretary of Defense, U.S military veteran Pete Hegseth:

""anyone who wants to talk about dual loyalty is dead wrong. Zionism and Americanism are intertwined as "the front lines of Western civilization and freedom in our world today,"

No sir, Zionism and Americanism are certainly not intertwined. You serve one nation. Pick it

Quote:How does AIPAC get away with it?

It gets away with it because AIPAC’s founder, I.L. Kenen, came up with a legal loophole by which AIPAC is defined not as a lobby for a foreign state but for Americans who support that state. It’s a critical distinction that makes AIPAC’s dominance over U.S. Middle East policy possible.

I worked at AIPAC directly for Kenen, back in the 1970s before moving on to Capitol Hill. He told me that he came up with the AIPAC formula — AIPAC as an American organization lobbying for Americans — so that AIPAC would be legally permitted to engage in politics and not have to reveal its activities. A devoted American and liberal Democrat, Kenen believed American and Israeli interests and values weren’t likely to diverge anyway, so what’s the problem?

After Kenen retired, Israel and AIPAC took a rightward turn, and he saw the mistake he made. Toward the end of his life, Kenen was outraged by the AIPAC leadership with its unquestioning support of the occupation of the West Bank and the blockade against Gaza, and other right-wing Israeli policies. He hated what he saw as AIPAC using its political power to keep the United States government and other influential Americans and, perhaps most important, the media from straying from the Israeli line.

Please post some links of those people putting Israel before America, I’m not aware of this. ????
