How Israel’s allies hijacked U.S. democracy

Pro -Israeli donors poured out unprecedented amounts of 2024 Presidential elections, distorted the US policy and weakened democracy, but symptoms of resistance are being shown. Bilal Cleland says.

One of the best sources of information about the corruption of the American political system by pro -Israeli financing sources Washington Middle Eastern Affairs Report (Wrmea), Produced by the American Education Foundation (Eet).

According to the EET website:

‘The American Education Foundation (EET) is a foundation established in 1982 by the US external service officials who retired at Washington and DC to provide balanced and accurate information about the US relations with the Middle Eastern states.’

While antagonizing and insulting the US neighbors, why is it so compatible with Israel, and allies can be explained by the role of some Israeli lobby in the American political system.

In his report on the president’s 2024 resuscitation Embers, Wrmea Details corruption.

Moreover signals There are signs that this is not a static situation and that the power of this corruption is weakened:

“Although the daylight among the presidential candidates in the Middle East policy is at a minimum, the US support for Israel is gradually becoming the subject of discussion in US politics. The Overton window has started to change within the Democratic Party, even if the candidates received tens of millions of dollars of campaign contributions from pro -Israeli political action committees (PACS) and affiliated donors. ‘

After the Spot light focuses on Israel with Gaza genocide, the people’s morality comes to the forefront, it is only a matter of time to the harm of the children of darkness.

The article continues:

‘This election cycle saw unprecedented expenditures by the Israeli lobby, who donated more than the last two elections to House and Senate candidates: 2023-2024 compared to $ 44,656.374, $ 2021-2022 and 12.661.440 $ 2019-2020. Since April, it has spent over $ 7.5 million to support the preferred candidates in the Lobby Congress. ‘

Great interest Wrmea Payola was inadequate reported by many candidates. For example, senator TED CRUZ (R-TX) reported $ 671,578 for a cycle of 2023-2024 in April, but only $ 440.009 in September 2024.

. Washington Report He will receive answers from campaigns about these inconsistencies. Again, the smell of corruption.

Pro -Israeli candidates received great support in this election cycle:

‘Between April and September, donates to the pro -Israeli Sen.’s campaign. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) rose from $ 7,800 to $ 109.034, candidate Brian Jack (R-GA) From $ 1.002 to $ 163.814, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-C) from $ 11,850 to $ 117.100 … ‘

However, this public donations are not a full story:

‘Dark Money ”, which is not obliged to report and does not have an expenditure limit from non -profit organizations, will affect this election by spending a night for candidates or against advertisements against it.’

Money buckets are deep and hidden:

‘For example, the American Israeli Public Relations Committee (AIPAC) spent $ 15 million reported to notify George Latimer In its primary representative. Jamaal BowmanHowever, only $ 1.6 million were listed as campaign contributions. ‘

Full list of non -Dark money contributions can be found Here.

Although American democracy is in great danger under the government financed by anti -immigrant Pogrom and AIPAC, the attempts to restrict the freedom of speaking against universities and the freedom of speaking against genocide, more than 2,000 powerNo king“The demonstrations show that the war has not yet been lost.

The aggression against Iran has not only won the opposition of almost the whole world, but also began to divide the Trump administration’s base.

The legend is just beginning.
