TOP TEN US POLITICIANS TAKING THE MOST ISRAEL LOBBY CASH

A new poll finds that Americans support a permanent ceasefire, despite this, only 4% of elected officials support even a temporary ceasefire and the US continues to veto UN resolutions working towards ending the violence.
Walter Hixson, a US foreign relations historian, told MintPress News:
Unfettered support for Israel and the lobby consistently puts the United States at odds with international human rights organizations and the vast majority of nations over Israel’s war crimes and blatant violations of international law. The current U.N. vote on a ceasefire in Gaza [which the US vetoed] is just the latest example.”
The US remains the largest backer of Israel and a large part is undoubtedly because of the pro-Israel lobby which showers politicians with millions of dollars in contributions. An investigation shows politicians who have received the most pro-Israel cash.

1. JOE BIDEN ($4,346,264)

Joe Biden is the largest recipient since the beginning of his political career. According to  his biographer Branko Marcetic “established himself as an implacable friend of Israel.." His support has continued into the present where he has given Netanyahu carte blanche to break any norms, rules or laws.


2. ROBERT MENÉNDEZ ($2,483,205)

The New Jersey Senator since October 7th has been key in drumming up support for Israel. He sponsored a pro-Israel resolution that passed unanimously. He also controversially demanded that the US help Israel "wipe Hamas from the face of the earth" as Israel was carpet bombing.


3.MITCH MCCONNELL($1,953,160)

As one of the most powerful politicians in America he has attempted to criminalise BDS. He is know to be very close to Prime Minister Netanyahu and has strongly opposed the application of basic US and international law on weapons shipments to Israel just last month.


4.CHUCK SCHUMER ($1,725,324)

This position has taken the lead in steering the American public away from Israel's war crimes by crying the rise of antisemitism, "Today, too many Americans are exploiting arguments against Israel and leaping toward a virulent antisemitism. The normalization and intensifying of this rise in hate is the danger many Jewish people fear most.” he said.
He has also used his influence to push through military aid packages to Israel amid the ongoing genocide.


5.STENY HOYER( $1,620,294)

An ardent zionist and one of Israel's most vocal supporters has demanded that, " Congress must immediately and unconditionally support Israel." He also voted in favor of a bill declaring anti-zionism to be antisemitic.



6.TED CRUZ ($1,299,194)

After October 7th he announced that it was "critical" that every American supports Israel "100%".
When asked if he opposed Israeli officials suggesting a nuclear attack on Gaza in an interview, he replied
"I condemn nothing that the Israeli government is doing. The Israeli government does not target civilians; they target military targets… There is no military on the face of the planet, including the U.S. military, that goes to the lengths that the Israeli military goes to avoid civilian casualties.”


7. RON WYDEN ($1,279,376)

This Senator has long been Israel's staunchest advocates, supporting Trump's decision to move the US Embassy ro Jerusalem and opposing BDS in all its forms.
In 2017, he co-sponsored a bill that made it a federal crime, punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, for Americans to participate in or even encourage boycotts against Israel and illegal Israeli settlements.


8.DICK DURBIN (1,126,020)

He enormously benefitted from AIPAC money at the start of his career to defeat a Palestinian advocate.
He recently called for immediate military aid to Israel.


9.JOSH GOTTHEIMER ($1,109,370)

He has sponsored the bill equating opposition to Israeli policies with antisemitism and introduced a bill to block and criminalise BDS.

He has also caused rifts within the democratic party by writing, to attack the small progressives among them,  “Last night, 15 of my Democratic colleagues voted AGAINST standing with our ally Israel and condemning Hamas terrorists who brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped babies, children, men, women, and elderly, including Americans. They are despicable and do not speak for our party."


10. SHONTEL BROWN ($1,028,686)

Brown received in a period of two year election cycle more pro-Israel money than any other politician until she won and in her acceptance speech praised and thanked the Jewish community for (... helping me get over the finish line)
