I can’t believe Israel has: – Spent $250 million on U.S. lobbying since 2016 – Hired 88 lobbying and PR firms – Logged 627 IN-PERSON meetings with U.S. political contacts (2021–2025) – Made more lobbying contacts than any foreign government – Put former CIA, DoD, and State Dept officials on its payroll – Funneled billions into American universities and think tanks – Influenced U.S. arms sales, military decisions, and diplomatic messaging – Ramped up lobbying after the 2017 Gulf blockade – And then doubled its efforts after October 2023… Oh wait. That wasn't Israel. That was Qatar.
