The former head of the Anti Defamation League Abe Foxman criticizes AIPAC for endorsing 37 Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election results.
“Sad mistake! Israel’s security depends on America being a strong democracy,” Foxman tweets. “Those who undermine America‘s democracy undermine America and a weak America will not be able to stand and support its ally Israel.”
AIPAC spokesman Marshall Wittmann defended the endorsements of the lobby’s new political action committee, saying, “as a single-issue organization, we remain focused on our mission of building bipartisan support in Congress to strengthen the US-Israel relationship.’
The 37 endorsements were among 120, which included dozens for Democratic lawmakers.
Since launching 10 weeks ago, AIPAC’s PAC says it has raised over $1.67 million and an additional $1 million for candidates.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
