    As of August, AIPAC has already spent over $100 million on lobbying breaking previous records. And the election isnt even over. They spent a significant amount of money to replace 2 Democratic congress members who were vocally pro Palestine to be replaced with pro Israel advocates. Biden has received more money than any other US senator from pro Israeli advocates. And now he is ignoring the voice of the majority in favor of these lobbyists. If you’re going to sit there and tell me this is business as usual and this isn’t a problem, then you’re going to have to actually explain your reasoning here.

    Then an independent Senator, Joe Libberman from New Hampshire without whose vote the bill could not proceed to the floor, killed it.

    So in essence، a body of elected representatives ignored the voice of the majority of their constituents in favor of corporate interests. Do you not see how you just proved my original point?
