These criticisms are finally showing up in the mainstream press. Reporters have been licensed by the injury mere high school students have done to another powerful lobby, the National Rifle Association. So maybe AIPAC is on the same path-to-pariah status, more than a decade after Walt and Mearsheimer published their book The Israel Lobby.
Here are a few items. Notable among them is a report in the Washington Post of all places saying that AIPAC was born to rally American Jews to stand shoulder to shoulder behind Israeli "lies" about a massacre of Palestinians, back in 1953. And two angry pieces in the Jewish press decrying AIPAC's blackout policy on coverage of its gatherings.
The academic, who has worked at King’s for eight years specialising in the neurobiology of personality, has been targeted online by hard-Left activists in recent years.
Dr Adam Perkins, who teaches psychology at King's College London, was told his event was being postponed because it had been assessed as 'high risk'.
The talk, which was scheduled to take place on campus yesterday, was called The Scientific Importance of Free Speech.
But officials became worried it could be gatecrashed by demonstrators who are opposed to Dr Perkins's research.

Rescuers recover dead bodies after a small plane crashed into a house, in Plaridel town, Bulacan province, Philippines March 17, 2018.
The six-seat Piper PA-23 Apache aircraft crashed in Plaridel, Bulacan province, shortly after takeoff at around 11:20am, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said. The plane was flying from Plaridel Airport to the city of Laoag.
Plaridel police chief Agustin Joseph said in a radio interview that the plane hit a house at the time a family was having its lunch there. Three children, their mother, and grandmother were killed according to police superintendent Julio Lizardo.

The fire broke out at the museum in Krasnoyarsk's Central Park in the early hours of Friday morning. Many of the museum's famous faces were left unrecognisable after it took emergency services two hours to extinguish the blaze, according to local media reports.
In recent years, it has invaded and occupied - either by military assault or by coup, but in either case followed by installing (or trying to install) a new regime there - a number of countries, especially Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen.
U.S. propaganda says that its invasions and military occupations (and it denies its coups) are to benefit the people in the invaded and militarily occupied countries, or to bring them 'democracy', and are not done merely to benefit the people who control the U.S. Government (which itself is not a democracy, and even the neoconservative - pro-invasion or "imperialistic" - American magazine The Atlantic has finally acknowledged this fact, even though it contradicts their continuing neoconservatism).
Polling and other evidences within the invaded/occupied countries shows the opposite of the U.S. claim: America's invasions/occupations (after World War II, and especially after 2000) destroy those countries, not help them.

Allegheny County election officials were criticized for failures last election cycle
Republicans are citing numerous problems at polling sites in Tuesday's special election in Pennsylvania, which remains too close to officially call but appears to be trending toward an extremely narrow victory for Democrat Conor Lamb.
Lamb currently leads Republican Rick Saccone by just 627 votes and there are still absentee and provisional ballots that have not been tabulated, but Republicans are already preparing for the likely recount and even a possible lawsuit regarding issues at polling sites, according to a Republican source familiar with the deliberations.
"We're actively investigating three instances and likely to file court action on them," the source said.
January Neatherlin was just sentenced to 21 years and four months for drugging kids at an illegal day care facility in Bend, OR.
When police arrived at her Little Giggles day care, they [found] seven children younger than five unattended. As with the Illinois case involving Kidde Junction, Neatherlin used melatonin to induce sleep in the children. It turns out that she also misrepresented to parents that she was a registered nurse.
Comment: Overkill, sheesh! We can't even get Hillary in Jail and this was just melatonin!!!
Yessenia Jimenez
The Drug Enforcement Administration began investigating NYPD Officer Yessenia Jimenez, 31, in January after they found the phone number of her boyfriend, Luis Soto, 33, on the cell phone of a narcotics trafficking suspect.
The investigation concluded that Jimenez and Soto were conducting a heroin trafficking operation that stemmed Mexico to New York. The New York Daily News reported that the pair was arrested this week after they made a trip to Massachusetts to meet with a heroin trafficker.
DEA, NYPD, and state police task force officers confronted Soto around 2 a.m. on Tuesday after he returned from the trip and was seen unloading bags from the trunk of his car, outside of the couple's apartment building in the Soundview neighborhood in Bronx, New York.
Jimenez was sitting in the passenger seat of the car with a purse as her feet that contained $25,000 in cash and the Glock 9-mm gun issued to her from the NYPD-and paid for by taxpayers.

"They fired at us, they did not want us to flee at all, they fired at the car wheels so that we could not flee... There was no flour, no bread, no water at all. They let no one out," one man told RT's Ruptly video agency near Hush Nasri.
"They [militants] were living with us, next to our houses and inside them. They would open a road amongst the houses to be able to move. They would not leave, and we would not dare to say 'get out.' Then the shelling was over and it is us who became part of the human shields. We were not allowed to move," a woman told Ruptly.
The armed groups holding out in Eastern Ghouta, a militant-held suburb near the Syrian capital of Damascus, continued to fire at civilians even as they were fleeing their homes, leaving several people injured.
