US-Israel relations and the Israel lobby's influence on Congress
A furious take on US-Israel ties, arguing America gives Israel money and protection while getting mocked and its citizens killed — framed as very bad for American interests and voters.
- Congressman Ro Khanna was detained by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, with no arrests or charges.
- 10 Americans have been killed by settlers or the IDF in three years, with no US demand for arrests.
- Pro-Israel groups like AIPAC spent over $127 million last cycle and have backed 94% of Congress.
- The claim: US media stays silent because owners like Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison won't report it.
- A proposed "Section 219" military-tech merger could hand Israel access to US defense technology worth over $1 trillion a year.
Outlook: Expect more pressure on lawmakers over Israel funding, but little change while the lobby's money and media influence hold.
