AIPAC leader boasts of special ‘access’ to top Trump national security officials in leaked audio​

April 11, 2025 - 21:26


The Grayzone has obtained audio of an off-the-record session from the 2025 Congressional Summit of AIPAC, the main US lobbying arm of Israel.

Recorded by an attendee of the panel discussion, the audio features AIPAC’s new CEO, Elliott Brandt, describing how his organization has cultivated influence with three top national security officials in the Trump administration – Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Director Mike Waltz, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe – and how it believes it can gain “access” to their internal discussions.

Joining Brandt on the panel was Dana Stroul, formerly the highest-ranking civilian overseeing Middle East issues in the Biden administration’s Department of Defense. Stroul made it clear that defending Israel’s strategic imperatives from within the US government was a top priority, arguing that Washington should deepen its “mutually beneficial” special relationship with its “strong partner” in Tel Aviv.

Stroul dismissed the bloodbath in Gaza as the result of supposed Hamas tactics, which supposedly aim to maximize the number of children killed by Israel.

At the same time, she and her fellow Israel lobbyists fretted about the impact of the post-October 7 war on public support for the self-proclaimed Jewish state. She was particularly troubled by Sen.

Bernie Sanders’ attempts to force votes on military aid packages to Israel, which, in her view, should never be debated in the open. Another unidentified AIPAC panelist worried that pro-Palestinian academics could eventually influence AI knowledge systems, leading to a dangerous shift in national security policy unless they were decisively suppressed.

The congressional summit was permeated with anxiety, as AIPAC leaders told rank-and-file members to hide their badges when they left the Marriott Hotel for fear they would be confronted by anti-genocide protesters. Other than a handful of sessions, such as a keynote address by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the conference was strictly off-the-record.

With the cameras off, AIPAC leadership provided unusually candid details of their activities. In one revealing admission, Brandt explained how he and his lobbying organization groomed the future CIA director and other top Trump officials as pro-Israel assets

Sa’ar urges 250 visiting US state legislators to pass anti-BDS laws in their states​

By Nava Freiberg
Speaking to a delegation of 250 US state legislators visiting Israel during a turbulent diplomatic week, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar rallies their support against what he describes as a coordinated campaign by “enemies” of Israel to isolate the Jewish state.

“We are witnessing a coordinated global effort against Israel today,” Sa’ar says, backing claims made earlier by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the same event, in which the premier said China and Qatar were spearheading media and political efforts against Israel.

“It’s not an attempt to change our borders. It’s not an attempt to establish a Palestinian state. It’s an attempt to eliminate the State of Israel, the only Jewish state. This is what it is,” Sa’ar tells the legislators.

Sa’ar says Israel’s “enemies” have turned to “propaganda, political, legal and economic warfare,” urging the legislator’s assistance in fighting the “increased use” of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

“The best answer against BDS, until this day — has been anti-BDS legislation by your states,” he tells them.

The delegation then continues to the Knesset, where Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana echoes Netanyahu and Sa’ar in hailing United States-Israel relations, before picking up an electric guitar to perform for the crowd with Israeli rock band Stella Maris.

“The America-Israel relationship is unlike any other. It is not merely a matter of interest, though ours align closely, nor is it simply a matter of policy or economics… it is a bond rooted in principle and shared beliefs,” he says.

Ohana thanks the group of legislators — made up of Democrats and Republicans from all 50 states — and the US for supporting Israel. He then plays a series of rock classics, including “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” by Guns N’ Roses — which he dedicates to the recently murdered conservative US commentator Charlie Kirk — earning a standing ovation
 
CAC faggots on this board think all we need to do is get rid of DJT and everything will be fine. There is no "both sides" here.
