So all of you who are defending Omar by saying, well, yes, AIPAC's influence is something that is of major importance, why shouldn't we talk about it? - OK, please answer why we don't talk about Japan and South Korea's influence? The hypocrisy from this event is off the charts.

The answer is always "Why SHOULDN'T we talk about Israel?'" That's fine, but when Israel is consistently the #1 topic for criticism in areas where it is not objectively #1 in reality, then there must be some other reason Israel is singled out, right? What could it be?

Is Israel the one country in the world that should be boycotted, and not the scores of countries whose human rights records are abysmal? Is Israel the one country that should be regularly tagged as "apartheid" even though so many countries discriminate in much worse ways?

Everyone is so keen on insisting that criticism of Israel isn't antisemitic, but what other reason can explain why the Jewish state is consistently singled out as the worst example of everything when it is not even close by any objective measure?

This makes more sense to me. I can't believe the Israeli lobby would be anywhere close to the top. Sure, AIPAC promotes Israel's interest, but I'm sure there's way more dirty money trying to actively steer the US.

Well worth it too because Israel just landed a US taxpayer grab of $38 billion. I suspect that is the principal driver of Israel’s “unfair treatment@. Incidentally it’s the radical Christian evangelicals driving Israel’s political gravy train, not AIPAC.

And a lot less than industry lobbying https://www.statista.com/statistics/257364/top-lobbying-industries-in-the-us/ … In case you ever wondered why drug prices are high and universal health care will never happen in the US.
