MSNBC Panel on Rep. Omar’s Tweets: ‘The Israel Lobby Doesn’t Want Us Talking About This’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FELD: “I think her tweet was accurate and not anti-semitic. And it was not that different from Tom Friedman, who is a big Israel supporter who when Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in front of Congress, said, this speech was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby. Now, the "Wall Street journal" this week reported that aipac raises and spends $100 million on its lobbying efforts that are not direct contributions to candidates, but they do a lot to direct those contributions. They have a congressional council where your standing depends on your willingness to make contributions to Israel politicians that aipac finds and identifies and even sets up so I think, you know, there is no question -- I mean, when $100 million a year is raised and spent by aipac, countless more comes from donors that are bundled and affiliated with aipac and Sheldon Adelson says I'm a single-issue guy, and my issue is Israel. Saban had almost identical quote, I'm a one-issue voter and my issue is Israel. It's -- it can't be off limits to talk about this money and say it's all about the benjamins, because otherwise it's gas lighting.”
