US leaders have been expressing their staunch support for Israel at the annual AIPAC conference, but will American support for Israel last forever?
Last week, prominent US politicians groveled at the feet of the Zionist lobby in the United States – the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC.
During the AIPAC conference, US leaders voiced their undying loyalty to Israel and their opposition to Israel’s enemies - such as Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah. We’ll be looking at the power AIPAC exerts over Israel’s main backer, the United States, and how that power is used to oppress the Palestinians. And we’ll also be asking if that support will last forever.
AIPAC’s critics say that it acts as an agent of the Israeli regime with a “stranglehold” on the United States Congress. The group has been accused of being strongly allied with the Likud party of Israel, and the Republican Party in the US.
