Bernie Sanders has joined those blaming the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) for congressman Jamaal Bowman’s primary loss in New York last night.
Bowman, whose criticism of Israel’s war on Gaza made him a target for pro-Israel lobbying groups, was defeated by George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, after Aipac and an affliliated group spent almost $15m to defeat him.
Sanders, in a statement today, said it was an “outrage and an insult to democracy that we maintain a corrupt campaign finance system which allows billionaire-funded super PACs to buy elections.” He added:
AIPAC and other super PACs spent over $23 million to defeat Bowman. He spent $3 million. That is a spending gap which is virtually impossible to overcome.
It is not a coincidence that with our corrupt campaign finance system we also have a rigged economy that allows the very rich to get much richer while many working people are falling further behind. Big Money buys politicians who will do their bidding, and the results are clear.
@fonecokid#BernieSanders is DIVERTING ATTENTION from his former #AIPAC dicksucking. He doesn't want anyone to know he supported this #genocide until now. This DID NOT START on October 7. Bernie left the civil rights movement after one bust (I was busted more for anti-vietnam war actions by the time I was 16) to stay at a model kibbutz where you never saw dead #palestinians. My mother was offered a trip like that, and she had #ETHICS. She DECLINED.

The truth is under assault today... Too many of our leaders know they are spreading lies, and they do it anyway. Don’t be one of those people. Seek out the truth and speak it... The fact is, we cannot remain a free nation if we abandon the truth — Liz Cheney #quotes#quote#Truth
A Student's Guide to Right, Left and Truth by Alan E. Singer, 2020
This book is an augmented adaptation of the author's 2018 book Understanding Left and Right (Nova). It further reinforces the message that sustained truth-seeking leads people toward the political center. Each chapter offers divide-bridging discussions of issues such as regulation, taxation, corporate-strategy and personal identity, along with the very ideas of knowledge, truth and goodness.
