I suggest that you might want to at least keep open the possibility that Jewish lawmakers representing districts with large Jewish communities might actually be motivated by (and reflecting) a concern for those constituents.Think beyond those narrow confines. So-called "Christians", like Ted Cruz, work for Israel. Cruz openly says he ran for office to serve Israel. I posted an article a week or two ago about how I Heart Media launders Israeli government "sponsorship" money for Cruz's podcast through a PAC that supports Cruz.
How Many Members of Congress Received AIPAC or Pro‑Israel PAC Contributions in the 2024–2026 Cycle?
Multiple reporting threads converge on the same conclusion: AIPAC and allied pro‑Israel PACs were major funders in the 2024–2026 election period and funneled contributions to several hundred congressional campaigns, but available sources disagree on a single, precise headcount; the best-supported range is roughly 360–400 current members of Congress received at least some AIPAC or pro‑Israel PAC money during the 2024–2026 window (see supporting filings and analyses)factually.co - Members of congress received contributions from aipac pro israel pacsiirc, there are 435 seats in the House, and 100 in the Senate. By this report, we are talking about 65-75% of Congress pocketing money from Israeli interests. Does anyone think a pol can pocket tens, or hundreds of thousands, or Millions, from Israeli lobbyists, without their decision making being influences?
Report: AIPAC Spent a Record Amount on the 2024 Election
During the 2024 elections, the Israel lobby poured at least $45.2 million into winning candidates for Congress, the most by any organization in history, according to a new report from Sludge.
The report states that 349 senators and members of the House of Representatives, or 65 percent of Congress, received money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee or its affiliated super PACs in both parties.
