Every president since Eisenhower has been captured by the pro-Israeli lobby, whether it was AIPAC or not. The pro-Zionist machine began in 1917 in the U.S. pushed by Rothschild and Brandeis. Even presidents who wanted to change our policy towards Israel could not because Congress was captured. There is a fairly strong argument that JFK was assassinated by Mossad because he did not want to support Israel. He saw the danger in it which we are seeing today.
Regarding the conversation preceding this, when a person has lost the argument he/she attacks their opponent. Do not engage. Please. It's a waste of time and energy. Stay focused on what really matters.
Yeah I know they had an influence back then and even Brandeis spoke to Balfour to get the Zionists, Palestine, and a lot of arm twisting went on in 1948. They depended on that colonial mindset still in place back then not to mention the prejudice that was felt toward the Muslim world, and the Arabs, which is still prevalent.
According to Alison Weir who runs the If Americans Knew dot org web-site and who wrote a book on the Palestinian situation, Brandeis, Rothschild, and a few other powerful and/or rich Western Zionists made it a condition of the U.S.' joining the fight in WWI that they agree to the establishment of a Jewish homeland. This is why the Balfour Declaration was written. That was in 1917--not 1948. European Jews were moving to Palestine and buying land (and sometimes stealing it through terror) long before the Nakba.
This genocide put that web-site front and center. She wasn't that well known before this. I think direct support of Palestinians is super important, especially when Trump cut off their funds, but supporting people in the U.S. who work towards educating this population is equally important.
I knew her before then. I grew up with a mother who was an anti-Zionist and although I didn't know much of what was going on I felt sorry for the Palestinians back then. God, she was predicting this, but it went beyond this with regional wars then going nuclear. I mean she wan't telling me this, but I would listen to her talk to others who were in agreement, friends. I belonged to a political group, and many in it were Jewish and they were quite critical of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians.

I have listened to her and think she's great. I once recommended her to someone and gave her perspective and oh, what an attack.
