I’m asking if there’s a reason why you went out of your way to specifically identify Jewish and Israeli PACs when they have no bearing on reproductive rights issues.
Natural_motions answered your question perfectly, and didn't bring nationality or religeon into it at all - you did that. I wouldn't have known they were evil if you hadn't brought it up.
The two PACs that were concerning the commenter were American Israel Political Action Committee and JStreeet, a pro-Israel/American PAC. Debbie Mucarsel-Powel has taken money from several PACs, but those were the only concerns listed.
I didn’t make this about nationalism, that comment did. I’m still awaiting a reason for those to be a concern, since neither of them have a stance on reproductive rights listed on their sites.
It’s fine if they want to be a single issue voter, but don’t back away from an honest question, especially when we’re discussing a different issue altogether.
Yeah, and right-wing authoritarians love giving reproductive rights to poor people /s
