Ultra-rich fascists, some of whom are Jewish, would have everyone believe that U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner is “antisemitic” for calling out the Zionist American Israel Public Affairs Committee lobby.
It was AIPAC that entered the 2026 election cycle with a reported war chest of over $100 million to defeat candidates who speak out against Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine and invasions of Iran and Lebanon.
Sadly, the majority of Americans continue to be duped into believing it is “antisemitic” to criticize those atrocities, which have been spun as the “defense of Israel” by AIPAC and its Zionist donors.
Zionism is not Judaism. I salute Graham Platner for having the courage to call out AIPAC and the Zionist establishment. I didn’t vote for him in the primary but will certainly do so this November.
