EXCERPT

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)

Bought for the Total Amount of:

$ 1,132,670

Durbin cosponsored a resolution expressing vigorous support and unwavering commitment to the welfare of the state of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. He also supported U.S. funding for Israel's Iron Dome defense program.

In recent months, Durbin has started to change his tune toward Israel's genocidal campaign. However, if he was actually concerned about the "increased and prolonged suffering in Gaza is not only intolerable for Palestinian civilians," he would see the role pro-Israel lobbies have played in that suffering and reject their money.

Despite an overwhelming call by the American people for the U.S. to stop backing Israel’s genocide campaign in Gaza, U.S. politicians are prioritizing the demands of a foreign entity — Israel — over the interests of the U.S. population. Why? For decades, the Zionist lobby has bought out politicians to pass legislation solidifying U.S. support for Israel. Understanding the Zionist lobby machine is imperative for the liberation of Palestine. This resource page identifies some of the largest players in the Zionist settler-colonial project.
