People say Israel “buys” American politicians. So let’s follow the money.
Take AIPAC. It isn’t a foreign lobby. It’s an American one. And compared to the real power players in Washington, its spending is minimal. Groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Realtors, and major corporations like Amazon spend far more on lobbying and elections.
Israel doesn’t control American politics. So why is so much attention focused on it?
