The United States government has been a major supporter of Israel over the years and part of this is down to the lengths that a pro Israel lobby goes to secure backing, according to historian Walter Hixon. Hixon, who focuses on U.S. Foreign relations. claims that this includes “showering U.S. politicians with millions of dollars in contributions,” and Alan Macleod, senior staff writer of the MintPress has carried out an investigation where he breaks down the top ten currently serving politicians who have taken the most “pro-Israel cash” since 1990.

BLOOD MONEY: THE TOP TEN POLITICIANS TAKING THE MOST ISRAEL LOBBY CASH.

by Alan Macleod

As the Israeli attack on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria intensifies, the U.S. public watch on aghast. A new poll finds that Americans support a permanent ceasefire by a more than 2:1 ratio (including the vast majority of Democrats and a plurality of Republicans).

And yet, despite this, only 4% of elected members of the House support even a temporary ceasefire, and the United States continues to veto U.N. resolutions working towards ending the violence. Walter Hixson, a historian concentrating on U.S. foreign relations, 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 U.S. vetoed] is just the latest example.”

Here, Hixson is referring to the pro-Israel lobby, a loose connection of influential groups that spend millions on pressure campaigns, outreach programs, and donations to American politicians, all with one goal in mind: making sure the United States supports the Israeli government’s policies full stop, including backing Israeli expansion, blocking Palestinian statehood and opposing a growing boycott divestment and sanctions movement (BDS) at home.

Internationally, Israel has lost virtually all its support. But it still has one major backer: the United States government. Part of this is undoubtedly down to the extraordinary lengths the lobby goes to secure backing, including showering U.S. politicians with millions of dollars in contributions. In this investigation, MintPress News breaks down the top ten currently serving politicians who have taken the most pro-Israel cash since 1990.

#1 JOE BIDEN, $4,346,264

The largest recipient of Israel lobby money is President Joe Biden. From the beginning of his political career, Biden, according to his biographer Branko Marcetic, “established himself as an implacable friend of Israel,” spending his Senate career “showering Israel with unquestioning support, even when its behavior elicited bipartisan outrage.” The future president was a key figure in securing record sums of U.S. aid to the Jewish state and helped block a 1998 peace proposal with Palestine.

The support for Israeli policies has continued into the present, with his administration insisting that there are “no red lines” that it could cross that would cause it to lose American support. In essence, Biden has given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a carte blanche to break any rules, norms or laws he wishes to.

This has included ethnic cleansing and war crimes such as the bombing of schools, hospitals and places of worship using banned weapons like white phosphorous munitions. The arms Israel is using come supplied directly by the U.S. In November, the Biden administration rubber-stamped another $14.5 billion military aid package to Israel, ensuring the carnage would continue.

For his staunch support, Biden has received more than $4.3 million from pro-Israel groups since 1990.

#2 ROBERT MENÉNDEZ, $2,483,205

The New Jersey senator has received nearly $2.5 million in contributions and, in the wake of the Hamas attack on October 7, has been a key figure in drumming up support for Israel. Describing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as “barbaric atrocities” that were an “affront to humankind itself,” Menéndez gave an impassioned speech on the Senate floor where he addressed Biden directly, stating:

Mr. President, in the face of unspeakable evil, we must not mince words. We must not waver in our resolve. Every single one of us in this chamber has a moral responsibility to speak out — unequivocally and unapologetically — as we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel and her people. I’ve been staunchly devoted to this cause for 31 years in Congress.”

He went on to claim that Israel and the United States are intrinsically linked and were founded on the same principles.

Menéndez also courted controversy after he demanded that the U.S. help Israel “wipe Hamas from the face of the Earth,” even as Israel was leveling Gaza by carpet bombing it.

In October, he co-sponsored a Senate resolution “standing with Israel against terrorism” that passed unanimously, without dissent.

#3 MITCH MCCONNELL, $1,953,160

The Senate Minority Leader is one of the most powerful politicians in America and has used his influence to attempt to force through legislation criminalizing BDS. He has described the peaceful tactic as “an economic form of anti-Semitism that targets Israel.”

McConnell is known to be very close to Prime Minister Netanyahu and supported a bill condemning the United Nations and calling on the U.S. to continue to veto any U.N. resolution critical of Israel. Last month, he strongly opposed steps taken towards applying basic U.S. and international law on weapons shipments to Israel.

Under current U.S. law, Washington is duty-bound to stop supplying arms to nations committing serious human rights violations. McConnell, however, said that applying these standards to Israel would be “ridiculous,” explaining that:

Our relationship with Israel is the closest national security relationship we have with any country in the world, and to condition, in effect, our assistance to Israel to their meeting our standards it seems to me is totally unnecessary… This is a democracy, a great ally of ours, and I do not think we need to condition the support that hopefully we will give to Israel very soon.”

McConnell has received nearly $2 million from pro-Israel groups.

#4 CHUCK SCHUMER, $1,725,324

Next on the list is McConnell’s Democratic opponent, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who had taken over $1.7 million from Israel lobbying groups. In recent weeks, Schumer has taken the lead in steering the public conversation away from Israel’s crimes and towards a supposed rise in anti-Semitism across America. “To us, the Jewish people, the rise in anti-semitism is a crisis. A five-alarm fire that must be extinguished,” the New York Senator said, adding that “Jewish-Americans are feeling singled out, targeted and isolated. In many ways, we feel alone.”

The idea that anti-Semitic hate is exploding across the United States comes largely from a report published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which claims that anti-Semitic incidents have risen by 337% since October 7. Buried in the small print, however, is the fact that 45% of these “anti-Semitic” incidents the ADL has tallied are pro-Palestine, pro-peace marches calling for ceasefires, including ones led by Jewish groups like If Not Now or Jewish Voice for Peace. (MintPress recently published an investigation into the ADL’s fudged numbers and its history of working for Israel and spying on progressive American groups.)

Schumer, however, has deliberately tried to conflate opposition to Israel’s bombardment of its neighbors with anti-Jewish racism, writing:

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 has even gone so far as to label Dave Zirin – a Jewish journalist who supports justice for Palestinians – as an anti-Semite.

As Senate Majority Leader, Schumer has used his influence to push through military aid packages to Israel, even as it carries out actions many have labeled war crimes, writing that:

One of the most important tasks we must finish is taking up and passing a funding bill to ensure we, as well as our friends and partners in Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region, have the necessary military capabilities to confront and deter our adversaries and competitors.”

He added that “Senators should be prepared to stay in Washington until we finish our work” and that they should expect to work “long days and nights, and potentially weekends in December,” until the deal was done.

#5 STENY HOYER, $1,620,294

The former House Majority Leader is one of Israel’s most vocal supporters in the House of Representatives. Hoyer has demanded that “Congress must immediately and unconditionally fund Israel,” thereby giving the Netanyahu administration the green light to do whatever it pleases.

An ardent Zionist, the Maryland native explained that he believes it is:

…[T]he world’s duty that set aside a land, a land that Israel has occupied for millennia, and said: this is your place of security, this is your place of sovereignty, this is your place of safety.”

Earlier this month, Hoyer also voted in favor of a bill stating that anti-Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic, thereby declaring all criticism of Israel to be invalid and racist.

Hoyer has received more than $1.6 million in donations from pro-Israel lobbying groups.

#6 TED CRUZ, $1,299,194

Over his career, the Texas Republican has received $1.3 million from the Israel lobby. After October 7, Cruz sprang into action, announcing that it was “critical” that every American supports Israel “100 percent.” “Israel is going to be demonized by Democrats in the current corrupt corporate media. We need to make clear that Hamas is using human shields and Israel has a right to defend itself,” Cruz said, hitting many of the classic pro-Israel talking points.

Cruz also went above and beyond in his defense of Israeli crimes in a bizarre interview with Breaking Points’ Ryan Grim. When asked if he opposes Israeli officials suggesting a nuclear attack on Gaza, Cruz 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.”

When confronted with statements from the IDF directly refuting his point, noting that their focus is on damage, not precision, Cruz flipped his answer around, replying, “Yes, damage to Hamas, to terrorists.” And when Grim gave him more statements from senior IDF officials explicitly contradicting his previous statement, Cruz retorted, “That’s simply not true. They are targeting the terrorists,” thereby defending the IDF even from itself.

#7 RON WYDEN, $1,279,376

Senator Ron Wyden (D—OR) has long been one of Israel’s staunchest advocates in Washington, supporting President Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy to 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.

On the settlements, he was one of the most vigorous opponents of UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which describes them as a “flagrant violation” of international law.

For his troubles, Wyden has received $1,279,376 from pro-Israel groups.

#8 DICK DURBIN, $1,126,020

In some ways, Dick Durbin owes his political career to the Israel lobby. In 1982, the then-obscure college professor benefitted enormously from AIPAC money to defeat incumbent Paul Findley, a strong proponent of the Palestinian people.

The Illinois Democrat has called for immediate military aid to Israel and co-signed a Senate resolution reaffirming Washington’s support for Israel’s “right to self-defense” in the wake of October 7.

Despite this, he has angered some in the pro-Israel crowd by supporting President Obama’s initiatives to reduce tensions with Iran and has now come out in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza.

#9 JOSH GOTTHEIMER, $1,109,370

Despite only being in office since 2017, Gottheimer has already received more than $1.1 million from pro-Israel lobbying groups. The New Jersey Congressman has served as a pro-Israeli attack dog in Washington, co-sponsoring the bill equating opposition to Israeli government policy with anti-Semitism and introducing legislation to block and criminalize boycotting the state of Israel.

In the wake of October 7, Gottheimer has attempted to cancel a number of public figures. Earlier this month, for instance, he tried to pressure Rutgers University into calling off an event on Palestine featuring former CNN anchor Marc Lamont Hill and organizer and journalist Nick Estes, both of whom support Palestinian rights and statehood.

Gottheimer has even caused rifts within his own party, attacking the small, progressive wing of Democrats who have failed to toe the line on Israel and Hamas. “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,” he wrote, making a number of highly incendiary and questionable assertions.

#10 SHONTEL BROWN, $1,028,686

Perhaps no other political case reveals the power of the Israel lobby than Shontel Brown. In 2021, Nina Turner, a democratic socialist, national co-chair of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 election campaign, and an outspoken advocate for justice in Palestine, ran for election in Ohio’s 11th congressional district. Her opponent was the little-known but strongly pro-Israel Brown.

Brown received more pro-Israel money than any other politician nationwide during that two-year election cycle, helping her overcome a double-digit polling deficit to defeat Turner. Over $1 million was spent plastering Cleveland with attack ads against Turner. In her acceptance speech, Brown praised Israel and later thanked the Jewish community for “help[ing] me get over the finish line”

Since then, she has supported Israeli actions in Gaza and rejected the idea of Israel as an apartheid state, writing:

Let’s be clear: Israel is not an apartheid state. Any mischaracterizations otherwise attempt to delegitimize Israel, a robust democracy, and will only serve to fuel rising antisemitism. I will always advocate for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship founded on our shared values.”

A DARK FORCE IN US POLITICS

The most well-known and likely most influential group in the loose coalition referred to as the Israel lobby is AIPAC. With a staff of around 400 people and annual revenues that frequently top over $100 million, the organization is a huge, conservative force in American politics, flooding the system with gigantic amounts of money. Worse still, the group does not disclose the sources of its funding.

AIPAC’s stated goal is:

To make America’s friendship with Israel so robust, so certain, so broadly based, and so dependable that even the deep divisions of American politics can never imperil that relationship and the ability of the Jewish state to defend itself.”

Yet Israel is widely recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations and human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch as an apartheid state. It has near total control over the Gaza Strip, which, even before the latest attack, was an “unlivable” “open-air prison.” It is this state and these injustices that AIPAC and others seek U.S. support for.

American intransigence on Israel has helped make it a pariah nation, one that constantly has to veto U.N. resolutions and has lost its voting rights at UNESCO.

Not only does it give more money to Republicans than Democrats, but AIPAC also floods conservative Democrats’ coffers with funds, especially when they are up against progressive, pro-Palestine challengers.

In 2022, it spent $2.3 million in a (failed) bid to stop leftist Summer Lee from being elected to Congress. However, it fared better in North Carolina, where $2 million was given to Valeria Foushee over Nida Allam, the director of Sanders’ 2016 campaign. Meanwhile, $1.2 million in donations to Henry Cuellar might have been the deciding factor in an extremely close win over progressive activist Jessica Cisneros in Texas’ 28th congressional district. And a number of prominent Michigan Democrats have come forward claiming that AIPAC offered them $20 million each to primary Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress.

“Certainly the lobby can influence elections, but it doesn’t win them all,” Hixson, the author of “Architects of Repression: How Israel and Its Lobby Put Racism, Violence and Injustice at the Center of US Middle East Policy,” said, adding:

It targets the aforementioned House progressives every two years but can’t always dictate the outcome of localized elections. They do better with broader canvasses; hence, no one in the Senate other than Bernie takes them on. When it comes to Israel, most American politicians are craven hypocrites.”

Yet Sanders’ recent refusal to endorse a permanent ceasefire (a position held by virtually the entire world) has earned him AIPAC’s praise.

IS THE TAIL WAGGING THE DOG?

As such, AIPAC acts as a bulwark against progressive political change. In such a divisive political environment, few political issues unite Democrats and Republicans, as well as Israel and shutting down anti-establishment figures. As Hixson told MintPress:

Other than a handful of progressives (Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, etc.), the U.S. Congress invariably gives the lobby everything it wants, namely massive regular funding for Israeli militarism and an endless series of resolutions condemning Israel’s international foes and domestic critics.”

The question that arises from this is why? Why does Israel always seem to receive full support from Washington? Is the lobby really that effective? Why do so many U.S. politicians go along with it? Mazin Qumsiyeh, a professor at Bethlehem University, characterized Washington as full of amoral careerists, telling MintPress that:

They [Senators and Congresspersons] do not buy the Zionist argument. It is strictly personal interest: money and good media coverage and avoiding blackmail, as the Zionists have their dirty secrets which they could expose if they step out of line.”

Yet Israel also serves a vital purpose for the American empire. The region is not only geographically strategic but home to the world’s largest resources of hydrocarbons. Washington has always made it a top priority to control the flow of oil around the world, and Israel helps them do this. Militarily, Israel serves as a conduit the U.S. can work through, farming out its dirty work to Tel Aviv. It, therefore, represents an unofficial and beneficial “51st state.” As Joe Biden said in 1986 and has regularly repeated, Israel is the best investment the U.S. makes. “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect our interests in the region,” he added.

Many other nations or industries have lobbied in Washington, D.C. But few have proven to be as organized or effective as the pro-Israel one. Nevertheless, public opinion, particularly among young people, has begun to drift away from it. The Overton Window is shifting; Professor Qumsiyeh told MintPress. “When I first went to the U.S. in 1979, the average citizen did not know anything about Palestine or knew only a negative, distorted picture driven by Hollywood and biased media. Things [have] changed,” he said.

Things have indeed changed. The streets of America have been filled with demonstrations against Israeli aggression. Millions of Americans have participated in Palestine solidarity protests, including hundreds of thousands in Washington, D.C. alone. Celebrities have spoken out against injustice. And social media is filled with posts showing sympathy for Gazans. There, too, Israel and pro-Israel groups have attempted to use their financial clout to influence the conversation, but to limited effect.

Fortunately for Israel, for now, at least, they can still rely on the unwavering support of senior American politicians, their pockets filled with AIPAC money, turning the other way as Israel carries out another genocide against Palestine.

Does it not say in Revelations that the old world would be destroyed? And by fire? Does it not also state that Earth would not be harmed?
The old world relates to Satan’s realm. The realm of legal fiction persons and Corporations. Destruction by fire relates to the fire (Holy Spirit) within men and women. The Breath of God.
Ruination will come to all those that have harmed Earth in pursuit of profit.
Men and women returning to the superior Land and Soil jurisdiction, is the end of Satan’s world of illusion and fiction.

All that anyone has to do to similarly benefit, is to return home to the land and soil of their native country (or in our case, State of the Union) and declare and record and publish their birthright political status; whereupon they become the inheritors of their spiritual, physical, and intellectual assets and their share of the public assets, too. 

All assets attached to the individual names of the states and people in any form or guise have been claimed, the claims have been afforded Public Notice, Due Notice to the Principals and Agents for a period of seven (7) years, and all Public Assets have been moved into Public Trusts under the care of our unincorporated Federation of States, and all private assets have been moved into private trusts under the care of our Fiduciary. 

No office or officer associated with the British Admiralty has any valid claim on anything in this country aside from those limited properties permitted to them for a specific use, or officially donated to the Federal Government by the States. 

Owing to the extent and the longevity of the fraud practiced by the Roman Catholic Church and its Overseers based on undisclosed private claims and public fraud schemes against the natural assets of both Catholics and Protestants and against people of every country and nation, we have seen fit to mount a worldwide recoupment effort and distribution effort by which the ownership interest may be properly restored to each country, each nation, and each Lawful Person.  

To the extent that some assets have already been distributed by the Church back to its Cronies (for example, giving land back to Native Tribes that agree to continue paying Tribute to Rome and accepting “Baptism” of the kind cashiered by King Henry the Eighth) and similar efforts to reward elements of the Admiralty with possession of gold purloined by the Church, ($300 Trillion passed through the British Crown end of the operation by HSBC) these can only be regarded as analogous to efforts by a Pawn Shop Owner caught with Stolen Goods, trying to pass them on to Third Parties already caught up in the scheme. 

We object to the continuing flood of commercial claims and any debate of their merits, and indeed, any other claims in any other jurisdiction. 

We have the Ecclesiastical, Lawful, and Legal High Ground and we have by all our actions, notices, and words declared justice for the entire world and everyone upon it.  

Even the Indentured Servants of the “King” and the unknowing slaves of the Pope will have their due as living men and women and as Lawful Persons abiding on the land and soil. 

We are tired of all the misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and impersonations. 

We cannot be disturbed by any additional nonsense and wish for peace among all our children. 

Whereupon we have established this Recoupment upon the world assets, and the Global Family Land Recording and Publishing Service, and The Global Family Bank of International Trade and The Global Family Bank of Commerce — as the means by which facilities are to be established for all people and every nation, to reclaim their birthright political status and receive back both assets and credit belonging to them.

Patricia, if I am reading this correctly, you are sympathizing with the terrorists. You mentioned how US furnish Israel with weapons, but overlook Hamas terrorists attacked Israel with US weapons. Perhaps you believe it was an innocent ‘error’ or ‘oversight’ that US left a trillion dollars of weapons to the hands of terrorists when withdrawing from Afghanistan that were used in this terrorist attack against innocent Israel citizens. Israel in my opinion has every right to protect their borders from a terror organisation that makes no secret that it wants every jew and westerner dead.

Disappointed my previous comments were censored. Just to balance things up a bit, it is not all what it seems. Many of these political war criminals are also supporting Hamas terrorists. The withdrawal from Afghanistan and conveniently leaving behind one trillion dollars of weapons that Hamas terrorists used against innocent Israel citizens on Oct 7 is just one of many fine examples. Almost all politicians need war and so funding both sides is essential. If you believe this is one sided as media likes to project, you take a side and become emotionally outraged and miss the transfer of wealth, power and control.

Being ‘friends with Israel’ is like being friends with the devil, or frenemies with a narcissist. I did not always feel this way, though it has become glaringly apparent that America was used mercilessly as the State of Israel’s bitch. We are done with dancing with the devil. Done fighting their wars. Done slaving away our lives to send all our tax money & countless aid monies sent directly to them, or their agents & organizations. Our Congress members have had to make vows to Israel, which is Treason. Many are Satanists. Prove me wrong. There is room for some comprehension that whom we call Jews are not real Jews. However, & it is a huge HOWEVER, trust has been deeply broken, & our best course of action is to walk away, send the criminal factions to Gitmo, & see what the remainder are made of, if they retain any vestiges of human sanity, compassion, & empathy.

First of all, Palestinians train children into hatred and terrorism from toddler age and the biggest pride to a Palestinian parent is to find a way to have their children killed for Allah, whether they stage it or strategically place them in a way that pin Israel to it. They are rewarded a lifelong pension, an apartment, honors and awards for this illustrious act and breed babies solely for this reason, which is well documented.

Second, “Palestinians” as they are known today have zero nativity to Palestine but are Egyptians and Saudis who poured into Israel in flash mobs to ethnically cleanse the Jews and Christians in the 1940s. They began to call themselves Palestinians in 1964 in a new propaganda strategy created by the PLO. There are video statements and historic statements by both Hamas and PLO to verify that Palestinians are a completely artificially created people, merely used as an excuse for terrorism. They’re neither occupied nor under ‘apartheid’ but are recruited, just like ISIS recruited people from around the world to build their Caliphate society.

Even if the “Palestinians” are the actual illegal occupation, Israel handed Palestine on a platter to them in 2005 and removed all Israeli presence out of Palestine, meaning these terrorist have had their own fully independent state since 2005. This was one of many attempts to create the illusive two-state solution that ignorant people demand (Jordan being the first, where the Palestinians executed the king and drank his blood from the spot where he died). They can now do whatever they like with Palestine since 2005 (so what occupation do they suffer?), and installed Hamas into power. They destroyed the entire lucrative export industry in flowers and vegetables Israelis left for them for continued income. Did that stop their terrorism? Of course not. And nothing will stop them because they don’t want to stop. They still send over 20,000 rockets per year into Israel and use Palestine as a terrorist camp.

Palestinians have crowded into the Christian historic Jerusalem with well-known aims to establish a Caliphate HQ there, from where they want to expand their terrorism to other countries (you may recall how the Palestinians created a 15-year civil war in Christian Lebanon where they tortured and crucified Christians. Israel came to their rescue. The country is now destroyed and run by Islamist). This plan got thwarted in Trump’s clever move to build the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.

The exact same methodology being used against Israel to ethnically cleanse the Jewish people is being used by Islamist (many of them trained in Gaza) against Buddhist in Burma and Thailand where they are consistently being slaughtered in an Islamic coup; or in Africa where Christians are ethnically cleansed in enormous numbers; or the Hindus in Kashmir where the Gaza-trained Islamist managed to drive out and ethnically cleanse 92% of the entire native population to occupy the entire country. The successful method they use is to illegally infiltrate into the country via the borderlines or sea entry, then pretend they are natives who are “oppressed” and who merely fight for their “right to exist” while reality is that it’s merely terrorism used for Islamic expansion. It’s a popular and very effective format used to persuade ‘useful idiots’ to help expand their cause.

Anyone who peddle the pro-Palestinian “right to exist” and the completely made up “genocide” numbers which are never allowed to be independely verified and are fabricated by the Qatar-run UN (who are made up by Hamas members within Palestine), is a true terrorist enabler.

I have plenty of background on this subject, and all I will say for now is that an Italian colleague of mine who I repeatedly warned, was beheaded by Palestinian civilians after spending months in Gaza. He was a volunteer worker who fell for their fairytales and lived in Gaza for several months. But he began to see cracks in their story and was foolish to voice it, and they killed him. That’s what they always do in Gaza to people who start to change their mind, or who want out of there.
