How the Israel Lobby Has Hacked Our Electoral Process to Serve Israel

1Entry

Candidates enter a race for political office — Senate, House of Representatives, Governor, and more.

2The Approach

The Israel Lobby sets up meetings with candidates, offering to organize Israel First donors to fund their campaign if they commit to serving Israel.

3The Deal

Candidates must choose: take the money and commit to subservience to Israel — or have the Israel Lobby fund their defeat.

4Suppression

Candidates unwilling to bend the knee — those who only want to serve American interests — are smeared and undermined by the Israel Lobby and the allied political establishment.

5The Primary Filter

Genuine candidates who want to serve the American people are filtered out during the Democratic and Republican Primaries.

6General Election

Voters are left to choose between a Republican and a Democrat — both of whom took the AIPAC / Israel Lobby deal.

Democrat

Took the deal

VS

Republican

Took the deal

7The Consequence

Our elected officials are now all subservient to Israel, and American interests are not the priority.

The Result

Israel wins.

Americans lose.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act is not enforced by compromised elected officials, resulting in a complete loss of sovereignty.

How AIPAC solicits funds for candidates

The AIPAC political portal offers a place to support pro-Israel politicians. These politicians are then pushed to promote Israel-first policies.

AIPAC and Political Campaign Spending

How AIPAC's giving works:

AIPAC PAC (its traditional PAC) gives directly to candidates (capped at the PAC limits) and also bundles/"earmarks" lots of individual donations that it forwards to candidates.

When donations are earmarked through AIPAC PAC, the candidate's reports have to show that they came via AIPAC—which signals the money is from pro-Israel donors in the AIPAC network.

AIPAC's affiliate super PAC United Democracy Project, "UDP":

What it is: A super PAC affiliated with AIPAC. It can't give to candidates, but it can raise and spend unlimited sums on independent expenditures (ads, mail, digital) supporting or opposing candidates.

How it spends: UDP's money goes to independent ads (TV, digital, mail) that promote allies or attack opponents; because these are independent expenditures, they're not subject to contribution caps (the cap applies to direct candidate donations).

UDP is one vehicle Israel-First Oligarchs use to prop up or destroy candidates, by funneling in unlimited amounts of money.
