On the airwaves, the most prominent ads opposing the nuclear agreement have been coming from a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group called Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran. It’s supported by one of the biggest opponents to the deal — the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC.
AIPAC and Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran plan to spend between $20 million and $40 million on this fight. That range vastly dwarfs the $5 million its main adversary has to spend — J-Street, a pro-Israel group that supports the deal.
J-Street has been flying in prominent Israelis to visit with lawmakers, such as retired Gen. Amram Mitzna, a former mayor of Haifa and former member of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament. Their message? You can still be pro-Israel and disagree with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who adamantly opposes the deal.
“I’m representing many, many other retired officials from the army, from the intelligence branches, from the foreign office,” said Mitzna. “Many of us do feel that we have to support and to back the U.S. with this deal.”
So are the the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC) and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and Nulear Free Iran PACs going to get in a bidding war to see who donates the most to decide if America gets nuked or not? This is so wrong. It stuffs even more into the traitor’s pockets.
