AIPAC has a convention in Philadelphia this week were they charge a ton of money just to eat desert. If you give them thousands of dollars, they give a private reception.
With the thousands of money (possibly millions) they raise, why not give it to Israel. Instead, they give waste it on conventions and useless lobbying. What's the point of lobbying when they say they don't take political positions? It reminds me of all the rich Democrat donors who support Democrat candidates. If they really believed in what they teach, they would give the money directly to poor people rather than give it to Obama where it is wasted on marketing.
