AIPAC is not the victim but the victimizer. – The Forward

[AIPAC] is a major force behind the Combatting BDS Act, which in the words of the American Civil Liberties Union, would encourage states to “require state contractors — including teachers, lawyers, newspapers and journalists, and even students who want to judge high school debate tournaments — to certify that they are not participating in politically motivated boycotts against Israel.”

Thus, according to the ACLU, the bill “would encourage states to adopt unconstitutional measures intended to suppress protected political expression.”

AIPAC is also pushing the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which directs the US government to define “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination” as anti-Semitism.
