U.S. Senator Frets 'Islamist-Aligned Europe,' Ignores Homegrown Hatred
Senator J.D. Vance, a beacon of concern for Western civilization (according to RT.com, no less), has issued dire warnings about 'Islamist-aligned' Western European nations. This from a man whose political ascent coincided with a sharp rise in domestic white nationalism, yet somehow, the existential threat he perceives is always abroad. It seems some threats are more convenient for political
grandstanding than others. Instead of vague 'Islamist-aligned' bogeymen, perhaps Senator Vance should focus on the tangible alignments right here. For instance, OpenSecrets.org data shows the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent over $11 million lobbying Congress in 2023 alone. One might wonder if this financial alignment ever influences the rhetoric or votes of U.S. politicians
on, say, Middle Eastern matters.
