You fail to mention big Israel money, when 98% of US congress members are taking donations from AIPAC. Strange omission on your part.

- whimsicalism 7mo ago100% of AIPAC money is from Americans.
- johnnyanmac 7mo agoSure. Maybe in 2040 we'll know the real truth.
- gzread 7mo agoWhat does that mean, though? In a sense, 100% of USD transactions take place in the US. But sometimes it's on behalf of someone else.
- whimsicalism 7mo agoit means that it is Americans voluntarily choosing to donate this money. it seems perfectly plausible to me that there are enough very pro-Israel Americans to fund an organization like AIPAC. The key question is whether AIPAC is taking actions at "the direction or control” of Israel, but the money is pretty clearly not being sourced from Israel.
