Barbara Boxer, AIPAC Seek to Codify Israel's Right to Discriminate Against Americans | Common Dreams

Barbara Boxer, AIPAC Seek to Codify Israel's Right to Discriminate Against Americans | Common Dreams
"Aipac and its supporters have long expressed righteous outrage at suggestions that they prioritize Israeli interests over US interests and those of American citizens. Yet it is hard to imagine a clearer or purer example of exactly that behavior than this pernicious bill. If you're a US politician finding yourself working to allow a foreign government to discriminate against your own fellow citizens - by vesting that foreign country with a right that no other country (including your own) has - then you're essentially broadcasting to the world that the interests of that foreign government take precedence over your own and over the equal rights of your own fellow citizens."
