🫒 Introducing #ProjectOliveGrove in time for the #uspoli 2024 election:
I found that a bit confusing. I think I heard the following:
"...research each candidate, and if they received any money from APAC or Pro Israel PACs as well as if they've called for a ceasefire and their opponents and one of their opponents have done the same things. We want to pack the house with politicians that speak for us for the people..."
What does that mean?
@markgrieveson @LALegault the phrase is a bit complicated, but I watched a couple of their videos o ex-twitter (I have no access to tiktok or insta). They are focused on #AIPAC, but it's actually a pretty simple message of opposing politicians that get money (from AIPAC and the likes) to then try to stop people from deciding how to spend their own money (particularly the boycott part of the BDS movement). I though putting it more generically shows the absurdity of the discourse

If ever there was #horseShoe politics in #Israel-#Gaza War, it's a #JEWISH-led group claiming that a #HAMAS sympathizer in #US #Congress "truly represent our values"
Jewish-led #IfNotNow said this is "a clear example of how groups like #AIPAC and [its #superPAC, #DemocraticMajorityforIsrael] try to undermine the will of voters and attack representatives who truly represent our values"
@mapto @markgrieveson
Yes, imagine combating special interest lobbies that don’t work in everyone’s best interest, how absurd.
