Funny how many of those other countries are largely ignored while Israel is focused on.

Most ocean going vessels are flagged from Liberia, South Korea, Marshall Islands and a few other random countries.
It’s really big business, so they lobby hard to protect that.

US sends them dollars
They in turn spend it all on lobbying. But how much of that money goes into congress pockets.

Learn how Isreal works its citizenship. As long as thier citizens also hold citizenship here, it is all good to go.

Im sure its some sort of kickback scheme we havent heard about yet.
Like USAID in Ukraine was before the curtain got pulled back.

It's easy to hide lobbying on Israel's behalf whenever it comes from zionists inside the US that are American citizens but put Israel first. For example, in almost every one of these tracking websites, Miriam Adelson's donations to Trump aren't counted. She alone sent $215 million to Trump's campaign, and Trump himself has said she's more loyal to Israel and only asks for favors for them. In Kentucky's primary, $30 million was spent, largely by American zionist groups, to help Ed.

Liberia came off the ropes in 2023.
Liberia $235,570,089
Wonder what happened that year to increase so much?

This link does not include Aipac since its not registered as a foreign lobby. That is the argument. That they have special permission.
You can search registrants on that link and Aipac comes back as no results found.

Imagine not believing any of this money is funneled directly to our politicians pockets.
SFP could be absent in this thread.

That number doesnt include AIPAC who unlike all of those nations listed can donate directly to candidates because they arent covered by FARA.
quote:
AIPAC and its affiliated political groups spent over $100 million in the 2024 election cycle, with $44.8 million from AIPAC’s PAC and $55.4 million from its super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP), according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data.

Muh joos is as fake as nevertrumpers faking being conservatives.

Crazy Israel even made the list. They were in the top 10 by year for only 3 of those years listed.
