16. Being anti-AIPAC *is not*

anti-semitic.

AIPAC has a specific, hardline, "Zionist" political position, which is certainly not shared universally by Jews. To equate the two is more likely "anti-semitic" than to question a politician's relationship with AIPAC.

Oh and btw AIPAC just played a big part in scuttling comprehensive lobbying reform.

So, the relative "semitism" or not of their political behavior should be irrelevant. They're a huge frickin' lobbyist organization that can be expected to wield influence over certain politicians. It's reasonable to question those alliances, is it not?
