The point isn't that AIPAC having influence isn't bad. Many agree that it's at the very minimum worrisome that a PAC with strong foreign-interest being that important is a problem.

The point is that blindly claiming a politician is owned by AIPAC without actual evidence feeds into the antisemitic "Jews run the world" stereotype.

Now if you wanted to say that Cuomo has strong ties to Netanyahu and the Israeli government and that concerns you, by all means do so. There is evidence to support that. But leave the AIPAC accusations to the candidates that are actively receiving AIPAC funds.

That's why I mentioned I can't speak about Cuomo. That's all understandable, but someone like LS defends AIPAC like it's not what it is. That's my issue. And pairing AIPAC to actual anti-Semitism is a problem. Saying politicians who take AIPAC money is not the same as "Jews run the world".
