My problem with Jefferies is he is deep in AIPAC's pocket.

Some people here are clearly obsessed with anyone who supports Israel’s existence as a predominantly Jewish state. The strategy of Israel/AIPAC to interfere in U.S. elections is backfiring badly, as demonstrated by you and by the general response across the political spectrum in America. That and Netanyahu’s decision starting ten years ago to pick sides in America’s politics, allying with Republicans and rejecting Democrats, is a huge strategic blunder.

But having that be your deciding factor about Jeffries and others is ridiculous. The extent of Jeffries’ focus on Israel will be maybe a couple of appropriations bills a year that affect Israel, and maybe 0.1% of the federal budget. It barely registers in his job description.

BTW, I read that after Trump’s announcement that financial aid to Israel will stop at the end of this year, the actual MOU is expected to cut aid to Israel by half in the next budget and bring it down to zero in five years.
