Most major 2020 Dem candidates will boycott AIPAC conference

Almost all major Democratic candidates for president in 2020 will not attend next week's American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference after the radical left group MoveOn.org called for a boycott of the event.

The Hill:

"The influx of progressive candidates confirming they will not attend — even those who have gone in years past — shows how the momentum is shifting," Iram Ali, campaign director at MoveOn, said in a statement Wednesday. "AIPAC is clearly a partisan lobbying group that has undermined diplomatic efforts, and progressives want no part in it."

Hmmm. I read that as most dem 'can't-i-dates' are anti-Israel and anti-Semites. Guess they haven't evolved and become nuanced yet after all. Are they going to the gathering with the oracle, former all knowing obxxx, with the freshperson CONgress critters?

I just looked at the AIPAC Conference website.

Chuck & Nancy are confirmed speakers, along with Steny Hoyer. I guess the old Democrat guard has nothing to lose.

Doesn’t look like POTUS will be there, though. Pence, Pompeo, Nikki Haley, and McConnell are also confirmed speakers.

Looks like the check from Iran cleared.

Yes. The check from Iran cleared. Because Obama shopped them Iranian dictators $150 billion. In cash

From 3 days ago...

2020 Democrats vow to re-enter Iran nuclear deal

The "old guard" is on board with that.

AIPAC is overwhelmingly Leftist, although a few of its leaders are conservatives.

For daring to oppose the phony Iran deal, AIPAC has violated intersectionality and must be demonized.

'Iram Ali, campaign director at MoveOn, said....'

That's as far as I needed to read! If any Jewish support, donate, campaign or vote for any Democrat it would be the same as supporting Hilter!

Yes. AIPAC is mostly leftist - with some more conservative people along for the ride The biggest problem is what the organization still officially endorsed, the long- discredited “two state” proposal ( which originated at the Soviet kgb in order to dismember israel in a “ politically correct” manner - just one short step to destruction again — and the cleverest part of the scheme is how the commies sold it so successfully to their friends in the leftist political wings in both USA and Israel). ———. But Still and all, for an American political candidate to boycott the aipac meeting while associating with or even advocating anti- Semitic policies or slanderous tropes like DNC has done — it has to be ( yet another) wake- up call to American voters of good will , people all across the political spectrum, just how dangerous the dnc (and several D candidates, political figures) have become. In brief, today’s DNC has been bought out by enemies of America and everything we stand for... as a nation, as Christians and Jews and non- believers who still support individual liberties for us citizens and moral decency in our government and society - regardless of politics

Meanwhile they continue to gush platitudes to Jew hating Muslims. Why oh why do Jews vote for these people? Stockholm syndrome?

Chuck and Nancy are there to collect the checks—Jewish donors are very important to the party. No doubt Chuck and Nancy will promise to keep the crazy lefties in line.
Whether they can deliver on those promises remains to be seen.

“Open borders” is a _very_ dangerous gamble—hopefully the Jewish donors will figure it out before it is too late.

The dinosaurs of the Democrat party, the old “sort-of” moderate center-lefters, still show up, but the bulk of the Democrats have abandoned any pretense to being “pro-Israel” and have gone a-whoring off after a full tilt support of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR.

The members of AIPAC have been put on notice. They are no longer welcome in any of the races that count on the Democrat ticket in 2020, so they have a choice of two - stay home and sit on their hands, or do a searing and perhaps painful reassessment of what they REALLY think of Republicans, and how that relates to to all the old myths and misconceptions they have been inundated with for decades.

How much more blatant does it have to get??

Maybe the Dems will start to have Bund meetings.

Well, if the acronym meant “Anti Israel Political Action Committee” you can bet they would have been there. Even though, sometimes, I wonder if the current bunch/cabal/gaggle isn’t actually.

Just watching Cspan reruns of AIPAC and what a disgusting display from chucky, pretending as if his party is pro-Israel.

Great speeches from Pence, Pompeo and Nikki Haley
