It’s not working and they have cause for concern. Mean consumption is on a downward trend
Edit: I meant to say in the United States it’s slowing down.
I live in Italy. We have plastic bags made out of plant material. They feel flimsy but they get the job done. They’re not very reusable though.
Eh, as long as Netanyahu (or any foreign government) isn’t instructing them directly on how the funds should be spent it’s perfectly legal. Otherwise any lobby group is allowed to lobby on behalf of any interest, including an ally nation. Is it ethical? That’s debatable. Is it legal? Yes, as long as FARA is not being violated.
You’re welcome to start your own lobby group, Ensign.
For what it’s worth, I’m not down voting you.
So there is direct foreign interference from Israel violating FARA?
Or is AIPAC an American Lobby group that is sympathetic to Israel?
Which is it?
What does this mean:
The party welcomes foreign interference
Walk us through what you meant to say with that.
I don’t know if you are doing it intentionally. The alt right uses AIPAC funded by Israel extremely often as an Anti-semitic talking point and also as a method to minimize any Ukraine involvement. Whether intentional or not, your initial claim insinuated this heavily as if Israel and the deepstate are pulling the strings on our politicians. The reality is there are many Jews living in the US, and those jews are sympathetic to Israel. It also happens that Israel has been a longstanding ally of the US (whether that’s ethical or not is a different discussion). If you want to make the claim that AIPAC has influence in politics that’s significantly different than a foreign entity crossing FARA and directing US policy. The world is not so black and white.
Netanyahu. AIPAC bought two candidates right out in the open. The party welcomes foreign interference against progressives.
Isn’t the implication here that Israel - a foreign entity - is directing an american Lobby directly?
I understand what you’re trying to say, but you’ve mixed in 3 different topics into a blender to build up a narrative. This is literally a gish gallop and it’s intentional.
The only thing I pushed back was that AIPAC was taking money directly from Israel and circumventing FARA, which is a common conspiratorial talking point.
Now in addition to addressing FARA, you want to talk about
incumbent advantage and popularity of these candidates
dems support for genocide,
the influence of lobbying in elections.
I don’t know how people got that take from Tropic Thunder when they explicitly make reference inside the movie to how messed up and wrong it was. Like, that was the joke. RDJ was playing a character so full of himself that took method acting to it’s extreme. Am I missing something? Id love to be educated
Are you doing it on purpose? It seems you’re trying really hard. Like really hard.
That’s not my argument. I think it’s clear to everyone else reading you’re doing it on purpose so I’m out. Cheers.
Hey you’re right. Sorry having a bad day. I deleted my comments

I know what AIPAC is. Your claim is that they have direct funding from the government of Israel. That’s illegal. You are allowed to set up a lobby group in the US that supports another country as long as the funds are obtained from within the US.
I know this might come as a shock to you, but there are many jews living in the US that happen to support Israel. You are welcome to set up any lobby group you want. Go ahead and set one up for Lebanon. But FARA is very clear about the source of the funds.
If youre not familiar with FARA take some time to acquaint your self? Or talk to a lawyer maybe? I don’t know.

Israel paid directly for two candidates and committed FARA violations? That’s a big claim buddy. Got any… Evidence?
Dude that debate was brutal. Now I’m certain Kim is also in the pocket of Russia. Same identical talking points. It’s crazy.
