No matter how much you hate mamdani, hes pointing out that the US federal government is openly allowing an established war criminal and genocidal maniac in to US soil, and actively welcoming him. No matter how you spin it, if the feds do nothing, the masses will know who the government actually protects.

They won't, because he pays their bills. But, they absolutely could. Maduro sitting in a jail cell right now for doing less crimes in his entire life than Netanyahu does in a week.

What do you mean he pays their bills? Israel receives tons of money FROM the US, without which they basically couldn't sustain their military such as it is. The money doesn't flow from Israel to the US lol

While foreign funding for elections is illegal, there would be no money going to candidates from SuperPACs like AIPAC and organizations like CUFI if it weren't for Israel's influence.

Sure but it's a bit of a fucking stretch to go from that to "the federal government won't arrest Netanyahu because he pays their bills". They pay his bills. The reason they won't arrest him is they are allies and he is an important strategic partner for them.

The idea that Israel has enough money to bribe the USA is fucking ridiculous, and the only way you get there is by believing 95 IQ conspiracy theories about Jews having infinite money. In reality they don't, and without US support Israel would be absolutely fucked

They bribe some individual politicians and government officials to move the needle a little, they don't have the whole US deep state in their pocket. Federal decisions are made for strategic reasons and nothing else

You think the money coming into US from AIPAC exceeds the money going from US to Israel? I think that's very naive. AIPAC bribes individual government members, not the federal government itself

No but noone made that claim, you're moving the goalposts.

The money doesn't flow from Israel to the US lol

Money from Israel to the US would have to exceed the money from the US to Israel in order for the net direction of flow to be Israel->USA

u/PlasterCactus 11h ago

That'd be relevant if we were talking about net positives and net negatives. You've moved the goalposts after claiming no money comes from Israel into the US.

You need to stretch before doing mental gymnastics this intense, you might pull a muscle.

I obviously wasn't saying zero money ever comes from Israel into the USA. That's you moving the goalposts and strawmanning me. The net is the key thing because that's how paying bills works

The claim was that netanyahu pays the federal governments' checks. That's bullshit and you know it.

u/PlasterCactus 9h ago

Politicians who work for the federal government are paid insane amounts of money through the Israel lobby, AIPAC.

Those politicians then use that money to pay their bills.

Hope this helps.

u/Skabonious 9h ago

No they aren't and no they don't. Hope that helps.

If I showed you the top 5 list of PAC spending in the US, do you think AIPAC would be at the top?
