Yes, but there is also, so to say, an “illegitimate” divide from those who simply have a problem w/Jews and spout palestinian propaganda.
Republican lawmakers receive significant support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and other pro-Israel organizations.
Historically, the average contribution from the broader pro-Israel lobby to Republican House members has ranged from $66,000 to over $90,000 per member per cycle. Across their careers, the totals for some GOP lawmakers exceed hundreds of thousands or even over a million dollars.
Pro-Israel money flows to Capitol Hill through three primary channels:
AIPAC PAC: AIPAC’s political action committee allows members to earmark funds for specific candidates. While historically AIPAC heavily favored Republicans, in recent cycles they have raised massive sums across both parties.
Direct PAC Contributions: Other well-established pro-Israel PACs (such as NORPAC and To The Point PAC) routinely contribute directly to Republican campaigns, heavily favoring incumbents and defense hawks.
Independent Expenditures: Super PACs aligned with pro-Israel causes (like the United Democracy Project) also spend millions. While the bulk of their recent independent spending has been directed at Democratic primaries, their overarching policy goals align closely with the GOP’s stance on unconditional military aid to Israel.

The slide will continue unless the transmission is broken. The next generation of children will not rescue us; they are being shaped by the same poisoned sources that corrupted the last. Without a ruthless reclamation of education, immigration policy, and cultural institutions, the pattern is set. The enemies inside the gates are counting on it. So far, they have every reason to believe they will succeed. And the usual mutants posting on this thread are in their corner.
