Former DNC co-vice chair calls AIPAC a 'foreign influence operation' [View all]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

David Hogg, a progressive activist and former co-vice chair of the Democratic National Committee for several months, is being widely accused of Jew-hatred after saying that AIPAC is “the most successful foreign influence operation in U.S. history.”

“Shockingly, a politician who was fired blames the Jews,” said Rabbi Steven Burg, CEO of Aish. “We’ve never read this script before.”

Daniel Sugarman, deputy editor of the Jewish News in the United Kingdom, wrote that “it’s genuinely quite astounding how in the space of two decades, neo-Nazi talking points about Jewish influence, couched in language about ‘Israel’ or ‘Zionism,’ became widely accepted on the American far-left and increasingly tolerated within the wider left.”
