Now, the state of Israel – not AIPAC, to be clear – is running television ads in Iowa, a key Senate battleground state that may only be in play for Democrats thanks to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
In one TV ad, Israel specifically touts its willingness to wage war. “Israel confronts Iran and its network of proxies directly, addressing those dangers at their source,” the ad says, claiming that this helps “deter aggression” and “stop a wider conflict” – as if America isn’t currently at war with Iran.
“For Americans, the benefit is straightforward,” the ad claims
I think in any civilized country a foreign country directly electioneering for one political party would be illegal and sanction-worthy. Israeli arrogance continues to astound.
Well luckily for them, they electioneer for both political parties.
The corrupt US admin astounds, too.
