Saying a person spreading Israeli propaganda. Openly worked for an Israeli propaganda organization seems relevant to me....

Like, I think you don't know what an "ad hominem" is if you believe this is one
Mmh... Somebody could hypothetically have worked for AIPAC in the past and become a staunch opponent of Israel's policy
For me, not specifically knowing the guy in question, using the shortcut "has worked for AIPAC" -> "is a mouthpiece of Israel" isn't a really solid argument
So, thanks for the link, this is what I missed
I'd be surprised if you could find a single example...
AIPAC uses bribes as the carrot, then if you go against them, the being up past carrots (bribes) and use the disclosure of them as "the stick".
Like, do you not understand how state back propaganda works? AIPAC works hand in hand with Israeli intelligence and their administration.
Literally the only reason AIPAC exists is because it's predessor had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC replaced it and immediately bribed the people who decide who has to register as a foreign agent....
This isn't a one off specific issue you missed ...
You seem completely unaware what AIPAC actually is and what they do...
But still feel the need to weigh in. Why?
Why not spend 15 minutes reading up on AIPAC?
Sorry I'm not an American! FFS
That's fine...
I'm not saying you need to be an expert on everything.
I'm just asking you to at least familiarize yourself with things you want to discuss, before making assumptions and defending genocidal religious extremists.
because lots of people view genocide as a serious topic...
I was asking about some context and everyone gets rabid. Super cool.
How am I supposed to know who the twitter guy is? You really research everyone you hear about on this community?
Astounding.
