Attacking the pro-Israel lobby has become the acceptable way to attack Jews - opinion

Attacking the pro-Israel lobby has become the acceptable way to attack Jews, according to an opinion piece by Cookie Schwaeber-Issa. The author asserts that a coordinated campaign by "haters of the Jewish state" targets these lobbying groups to cut off financial and military support for Israel and to freely criticize the nation.

The pro-Israel lobby, which includes organizations like AIPAC, Conservative Friends of Israel, and Christians United for Israel, has faced increased scrutiny and condemnation in recent years, coinciding with a resurgence of antisemitism.

The article claims that detractors aim to harm Israel by targeting these supportive organizations, using tactics like labeling them "Zionist" to associate the term with bigotry and the false accusation that Israel is an oppressor state.

"Libel is always the best starting point, since it serves to advance an unsavory view of the people they are attempting to hang in the town square," the author writes. "Make no mistake about it! Israel supporters, in the political arena (aka the Israel lobby), are being readied for their public execution." The piece suggests that a new generation perceives Jews as persecutors and that accusations against "evil Zionists" are common. It highlights the belief that the Israel lobby's influence is disproportionate, citing claims that former President Trump was influenced by prominent Jewish individuals in media and politics, often depicted in antisemitic caricatures.
