AIPAC Leader Hosts Fundraiser For Candidate Who Swears AIPAC Isn't Backing Her
Laura Fine, an Illinois House candidate, claims she's not 'AIPAC-backed,' even as AIPAC's chief executive, Howard Kohr, hosts a direct fundraiser for her campaign. This isn't just about optics; it's the standard operating procedure for a lobby known for pouring millions into elections to secure votes for Israeli military aid. Fine's campaign website highlights her 'commitment to fighting
antisemitism' and supporting 'a strong U.S.-Israel relationship,' language virtually identical to AIPAC’s own talking points. One might wonder: if it walks like AIPAC, talks like AIPAC, and is literally hosted by AIPAC's head, what exactly constitutes 'being backed by AIPAC'? This charade of plausible deniability serves only to obscure the foreign policy agenda being bought and sold in plain
sight. It seems some politicians prefer to gaslight their constituents rather than admit whose interests they truly represent.
