Please don’t defend AIPAC in 2026 - Wendy Carillo has legit issues but not this
To: Sen. Stern
From: A constituent in North Hollywood, CA
May 29
I read in the LA Reporter/Squawk Box about Senator Stern criticizing Wendy Carrillo for a supposedly antiSemitic campaign ad (to whoever’s reading, Squawk Box is SO good, kind of like Capitol Morning Report but for free [by the way you can kind of get CMR free from this RSS feed:

It’s way too late in the game to be defending AIPAC. And while I don’t like to use the term anti-Zionist to describe myself or good policy (it’s a little much, let’s not go crazy), Israel is much like our own country in having a lot to answer for. It’s also a democracy, if dysfunctional like our own, and the government’s genocidal policies are broadly popular even if Netanyahu no longer is (after they kept re-electing him despite the corruption…hm…)
There are legitimate reasons to hit Wendy Carrillo. Please be reasonable.
