    Failure of a conspiracy to achieve goals does not mean there is no conspiracy.

    And do you mean to say that Israel does not care about and throw money at US elections? Cause that is a verifiable fact…

    You want to hear a real conspiracy? You cant be this dumb, you must be one of ‘them’ pretending to be this dumb to throw people off

      I see that I’ve triggered the conspiracy people.

      Yes, this is a good example of conspiratorial ideation. You’re inches away from self awareness.

    I don’t understand. So they lost once? That means that it undoes all the decades of funding for politicians to send weapons to Israel? Like it’s a verifiable fact that Israel has spent a ton on US elections.

    Losing one primary election doesn’t mean they haven’t captured a significant number of others currently in Congress.

    Awful logic

      Yup, AIPAC bought and supported a rep in WA state. She won her primary in a landslide and will no doubt win the general unopposed.

      OP is cherry picking a single data point to attempt to discredit a trend. It’s like the climate change denialists going “Last winter was the coldest on record. Explain THAT, libtard!”

    So you’re attempting to downplay the severity of Israeli interference in American politics.

    Why don’t you take on a simpler task, such as insisting that the sun rises from the west and sets in the east?

    Counterpoint: it took genocide and dragging the US into another forever war for them to lose a Senate seat. I don’t think Jews are trying to conquer the world or anything crazy, but they have undue influence on Congress, and that’s not even debatable.

      Israel*

      I agree with you, but you refer to the nation state of Israel, not Jews. Said nation state would love for you to conflate the two so that they can hide genocide behind cries of antisemitism, but there are millions of Jews who oppose the nation state.

    Israel doesn’t control the US, but I think OP misunderstands conspiracy.

    Spending millions of dollars through a network of political action committees to try and manipulate elections in a foreign nation is a quintessential conspiracy.
