“ America is only enemies with Muslims because we are allies with Israel.”

ROFLMAO. You don’t really believe this, do you?

Having spent more than my share of time in Iraq and Afghanistan in uniform and Saudi, UAE, and Qatar in the oilfield, I can assure you they hate us because: (1) were not Muslim; (2) we’re (generally) free; (3) we’re not Persian or Arab; and (4) we have not submitted to their rule and have things they want.

Israel is largely just an excuse.

AIPAC's funding sources: AIPAC's funding is sourced from private donors, with most contributions coming from individuals and organizations in the U.S.

AIPAC also has unlimited access to the billions US taxpayers deposit in Israeli coffers that are available here......... and there.

===================================================

Key sources of AIPAC funding include:

Individual donors and philanthropists: AIPAC receives major contributions from wealthy individuals in various industries, including finance, technology, and real estate. For example, in the last year, multiple billionaires have made seven-figure donations to AIPAC's affiliated super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP).

Political action committees (PACs): AIPAC operates its own PACs, such as AIPAC PAC and UDP, which receive large sums from individual donors.

These funds are then spent on elections to support Democrats...... or oppose candidates-- based on their stance on the US-Israel relationship.

Organizations: Some foundations and nonprofits also contribute to AIPAC and its related organizations, including the American Israel Education Fund (AIEF), which funds trips to Israel for members of Congress.

======================================

AIPAC uses its funding for various activities, including: Campaign spending: In recent years, AIPAC has significantly increased its spending on elections through its PACs, aiming to influence the outcome of races, particularly Democratic primaries. In the 2023–2024 election cycle, its PAC and super PAC spent nearly $126.9 million.

Lobbying: AIPAC lobbies the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government on issues related to the US-Israel relationship.

"Educational' trips: AIPAC's affiliate, the American Israel Education Foundation, funds and organizes educational trips to Israel for members of Congress and their staff.
