Elections The Democratic Majority for Israel, is running ads against the only Jew running for president

[VivaRevolution]

MEET MARK MELLMAN: THE CENTRIST, PRO-ISRAEL OPERATIVE BEHIND THE ANTI-SANDERS ADS IN IOWA



A number of outspoken progressives to Congress opened the door for a previously unprecedented conversation about the special relationship between the United States and Israel. But for longtime Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, a top consultant for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, it was a warning sign.

This week, the political action committee affiliated with Mellman’s new group, the Democratic Majority for Israel, is spending at least $800,000 on ad buys in Iowa to go after presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who is polling as the frontrunner for Monday’s early-state caucus. At least one of the ads mentions Sanders’s heart attack. The ad campaign, which the Daily Beast initially reported Monday, is the first attacking Sanders by name so far in either of his presidential campaigns.

The ads deal with electability and Sanders’s identification as a “socialist” label, but the name of Mellman’s group points to another motive for going after Sanders: the shifts in how Democrats, especially progressives, are approaching the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As rote Democratic defenses of Israel’s actions become increasingly untenable with a rising progressive wing of the party, longtime party strategists are pushing back.

This seems to me to be evidence that this group, and this man, are not for American Jews, they are for the interests of a foreign nation, operating on US soil, and interfering in our elections in plain sight for everyone to see.

If you claim this group is for American Jews, then why are they attacking the only American Jew running for President?

Seems to me this is a pro-Israel group, not a pro-American Jewish group.

To add insult to injury, this cunt was named to the Democratic convention committee. Fuck you Tom Perez.

I will give you Bloomberg, but he is a Republican in party drag.

Funny how this pro-Israel group isn't worried about how electable a billionaire is in the Democratic party.

I would vote for Biden if he was the nominee.

Lo fucking L at voting for Bloomberg or Steyer.

I'm pretty sure I would never say I was apart of the left ever again if Bloomberg or Steyer won the nomination. Might as well hang a big sign on the party saying I'm not welcome.

I have no problem saying billionaires aren't welcome in my party.

Tom Perez put this guy on the DNC election committee

My bad. I see it is Meghan Stabler, who works directly with Mellman on the board of the DMFI who was appointed to the committee and not Mellman.

How is Bloomberg a Republican posing as a Democrat? I'd say he's a neoliberal authoritarian aristocrat.

Socially, he's hardly in line with Republican platform positions. Economically, more so.

Socially, he's closer to a Biden or Buttigeg.

I think it's a misconception that any candidate running in this race is doing so at tue behest of the opposing party.

Nobody cared that Russia is manipulating our elections. Nobody will care about this.
Everybody just give up and let other countries decide our leadership.

They hold their power through finance/insurance and the money having the power over the media. The banks control the money, and the money keeps things the way they are so the super rich get richer and maintain influence and push weaker populace's in the West (androgyny etc..) .. These particular Jewish people don't desperately need a first Jewish President, because the media control and bank money has given many groups more power than the President in America for quite a long time.

Bro... You're party is made of them, controlled by them. Both parties are. Wake up man

 

[Amerikuracana]

It's pretty factual how extremely rich Jewish interests made their money, and how they are highly over-represented in all forms of media in the West. There are many things I really like about Jewish people and culture. I do not wish it destroyed, and think Jewish families generally do a lot right.

 

[Trotsky]

It kind of takes the veil off of the American-Israel lobby that a guy expressly and repeatedly saying he supports Israel and its right to exist still needs attacking because he also says Palestinians are humans deserving of dignity.

It's a pro-unchecked aggression and pro-genocide movement more than anything.

 

[Fawlty]

Yeesh, imagine the antisemitic reaction if they had actually endorsed him.

except Russia really didn’t have influence for shit. While isreal has been influencing the decisions about leadership the decades.

you really think russia has influence in our government? Watch more tv.

I mean after we have sanctions up the ass against them? Gave ukraine javelin missiles? Killed dozens of their military contractors?

You should be winning olympic gold medals for being able to follow and make sense of this ridiculousness.

Bernie is a self hating Jew. He isnt religious, married a non Jew, and doesnt believe in any form of Jewish ethnicity. Thinks Israel is white supremacist. This is logical.

Israel is our only foothold in the Mid East. And a source of medical and scientific innovation. It is our spirit animal.
