The New York Times finally came for AIPAC. The Daily's new episode, "Israel, AIPAC and Difficult Questions for Democrats," spends 40 minutes with NYT Magazine's Jonathan Mahler dissecting the record money AIPAC has poured into this year's elections, and AIPAC lost it, posting a furious thread accusing the Times of inaccuracies, omissions, and mischaracterizations. In this video, I go through that thread claim by claim. AIPAC objects to being called fully partisan, so I play the clip of Democrat Jared Moskowitz saying JD Vance is too moderate for him and that he affiliates with people like Lindsey Graham, and I show AIPAC's leadership posing with Netanyahu and his wife in DC this week. I break down Debbie Wasserman Schultz pushing legislation over Iranian drones in Lebanon, a concern for Israel, not for America. AIPAC defends opposing the JCPOA by citing a bipartisan majority of Congress, which means very little when my VoteLog analysis of their own lobbying disclosure shows Iran legislation making up as much as three quarters of their portfolio. Then comes the part they really won't like: AIPAC claims it never called for unconditional aid, so I pull up AIPAC's own tweet demanding the Senate reject Bernie Sanders's effort to condition aid and telling Congress to reject any attempt to block or condition weapons for Israel. They are saying the exact thing they deny ever saying. I also get into what even the Times won't touch: the documented fight between AIPAC's predecessor, the American Zionist Council, and the Kennedy administration's Justice Department, all sitting in the archives. And I close with why AIPAC is really flailing: it says it won't be deterred while burning through more than $50 million in Michigan, where the new Emerson poll has Abdul El-Sayed beating its candidate 54 to 39.
