EXCERPT

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)

Bought for the total amount of:

$ 1,311,340

Senator Cruz has not condemned any action the Israeli government has taken against the Palestinian people and is in total support of funding Israel's genocide in Gaza. At almost $1.5 million from pro-Israel lobbies, Cruz has proven to be a well-bought, racist propagandist. He takes his time on national TV to white-wash Israel's genocide campaign that has taken the lives of innocent Palestinians as well as humanitarian aid workers. 

Some racist remarks he has made include, "Israel-Hamas war [is] a battle between civilization and barbarism." When pressed about whether Israel has committed any crimes against humanity, his AIPAC-bought response was, "I condemn nothing that the Israeli government is doing," he said. "The Israeli government does not target civilians; they target military targets." 

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.
