Does the mossad blackmail American politicians to aid Israel?

[noname223]

Just asking.

 

[Pessimist]

Probably not. A lot of American politicians are simply ideological Christian Zionists. Others might feel presurred to support Israel because of strong groups like AIPAC and CUFI. There's also a group of left-wing anti-Zionists in the Democratic Party, but they are the minority. The US does seem to have fascist tendencies and progressives are considered too far-left in the country. Republican anti-Zionists also exist (think Thomas Massie), but they are even a smaller minority.

Maybe not black mailing in the traditional sense, but through AIBAC and others, they bribe politicians to support Israel. Frankly, I think they'd still support Israel whether they got Israeli shekels or not, simply due to the amount of Evangelicals.

The Lavon affair refers to a failed Israeli covert operation, codenamed Operation Susannah, conducted in Egypt in the summer of 1954

Just asking.

Israel exercises control over American politicians through financial payments, and kompromat.

Almost certainly.

Israel exercises control over American politicians through financial payments, and kompromat.

That's my understanding.

Maybe not black mailing in the traditional sense,

Not JUST black mailing in the traditional sense...

but through AIBAC, CUFI and others, they bribe politicians to support Israel. Frankly, I think they'd still support Israel whether they got Israeli shekels or not, simply due to the amount of Evangelicals.

Some would, but bribes and blackmail probably tip the balance for some.

 

[Dejected 55]

I mean, maybe... sure... but also some people are just horrible and only care about themselves and fuck everyone else. So does Israel blackmail vulnerable politicians to get their way? I wouldn't bet against it... but are they also giving money or stuff to people who just don't give a fuck but like money? I'd bet on that too.

Simply put, yes. Boomer right wingers believe Izrahyell is our greatest ally. Everyone else sees what's going on and begins to notice who is running corporations, banks, the music industry and now getting us to go to war for them. The noticing will continue.
