These contributions buy a great deal of influence. One of the primary forces behind Barack Obama’s Iranian economic sanctions was Representative Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who assured Netanyahu in 2010 that the GOP-controlled House would “serve as a check on the administration.” In response, Ron Kampeas of the Jewish Telegraph Agency wrote on November 11, 2010, “I can’t remember an opposition leader telling a foreign leader, in a personal meeting, that he would side, as a policy, with that leader against the president.”

To see the face of puppets dangling from strings controlled by the Israeli lobby, one needs look no further than Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Over the past six years, McCain has received $772,327 from pro-Israeli groups, the second most of any U.S. Senator. He’s also been at the forefront of crushing any congressional investigation into Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty, namely because his father spearheaded the cover-up in 1967.
