For the opponent having a perfectly valid private opinion...
“Despite State Senator Min’s support of Israel, and a broad coalition of endorsements from the Jewish community, a number of Republican donors at AIPAC are upset that he has called for Bibi Netanyahu to be held accountable for the security failures on October 7th and Netanyahu’s failure of leadership during this crisis. Senator Min does not believe in the annexation of West Bank settlements, he had hoped that a constructive dialogue could be had. It appears they disagreed,” said Dan Driscoll, Min’s campaign manager, in a statement.
AIPAC defends the current administration of Israel, but any attempts to make them register as a foreign agent is stopped by politicians who receive their donations.
So far AIPAC has paid out 18 million this cycle

Which is a small price for their return on investment. If they register as a foreign agent, it makes all those donations plainly bribes.
- Sounds like some politicians are acting as unregistered foreign agents too
  
  Pretty much MOST of Congress and the White House (including the president, who once BRAGGED that he goes to more AIPAC events than anyone else in Washington) are.
  The few that aren't are constantly smeared as antisemitic terrorist sympathizers by AIPAC, (especially far right) media and even their colleagues from their own party.
- Don’t believe this for a second. He will change his tune if elected because AIPAC doesn’t invest in perfectly valid private opinions. When all is said and done, he will fall in line.
Spoiler alert: The DNC is fine with this and wants Porter out.
- But the U.S. doesn't tolerate foreign interference in their elections, right? /s
Fuck Israel.
