It's true but I prefer my criticisms without ad hominems
Where's the source for discrediting the statement?
How do you prove "hidden" groups don't exist?
Come onnnnnn. If that were the case, then there’d be no God, peace be upon It.
Fair point. Could be a quote from a relevant expert saying "I think it's bullshit" maybe?
I say I think it's Bullshit
Guess I, a random dude on the Internet, should have more credibility than this fraud
Saying a person spreading Israeli propaganda. Openly worked for an Israeli propaganda organization seems relevant to me....

Like, I think you don't know what an "ad hominem" is if you believe this is one
Mmh... Somebody could hypothetically have worked for AIPAC in the past and become a staunch opponent of Israel's policy
For me, not specifically knowing the guy in question, using the shortcut "has worked for AIPAC" -> "is a mouthpiece of Israel" isn't a really solid argument
So, thanks for the link, this is what I missed
I'd be surprised if you could find a single example...
AIPAC uses bribes as the carrot, then if you go against them, the being up past carrots (bribes) and use the disclosure of them as "the stick".
Like, do you not understand how state back propaganda works? AIPAC works hand in hand with Israeli intelligence and their administration.
Literally the only reason AIPAC exists is because it's predessor had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC replaced it and immediately bribed the people who decide who has to register as a foreign agent....
This isn't a one off specific issue you missed ...
You seem completely unaware what AIPAC actually is and what they do...
But still feel the need to weigh in. Why?
Why not spend 15 minutes reading up on AIPAC?
I get it but you could apply it to the post itself.
I don't see why asking for sources is mocked.
Because when provided with positive evidence of obvious bias, you demanded proof of a negative which is ranges from prohibitively difficult to impossible. This is not a valid form of reasoning. The inability to disprove something is not a valid reason to believe in it.
Let me put it another way, I don't converse with paedophiles so I'm going to need proof that you've never diddled kids before we can continue.
It was hardly evidence. It was a quip.
Here we go. Amazing and terribly clever.
