Watan-Media reports have discussed the pressures exerted by the Zionist lobby in the United States to marginalize voices supporting Palestine in the 2024 American elections.

According to these reports, these efforts intensified following criticism by some American Democratic lawmakers of the Israeli massacres taking place in Gaza.

According to media sources, the Zionist lobby in the country is stepping up its efforts to ensure the rise of candidates who support Israel.

Tools of the Zionist Lobby in the American Elections

Using tools of defamation and financial pressure, the Israeli occupation works to exert pressure with the aim of eliminating prominent figures who support the Palestinian cause.

For years, the Zionist lobby known as “AIPAC” has represented one of the powerful players in the political landscape in Washington.

The Guardian newspaper pointed out that the Zionist lobby has launched a widespread campaign to influence the voices of American voters, preventing politicians known for their opposition to the policies of the occupation from rising.

Therefore, “AIPAC” has initiated a smear campaign against progressive Democratic candidates who support Palestine, while supporting candidates who challenge them in the primary elections, according to the “newarab” website.

I didn’t intend for a private phone call to turn public. But now that it has, here’s the truth.

One of AIPAC’s biggest donors offered $20m if I dropped out of the U.S. Senate race to run against @RashidaTlaib.

Millions of dollars to smear supporters of Gaza

In this regard, the Zionist lobby has injected tens of millions of dollars into this campaign, allocating around $100 million as a budget for this effort.

The campaign primarily targets progressive Democrats, such as “Jamaal Bowman, Cory Bush, Sam Lee, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.”

The Zionist smear campaign also extended its reach to influence the American elections by targeting “Republican Thomas Massie due to his ‘no’ votes on multiple resolutions related to the war (in Gaza).”

The Israeli lobby aims to target progressive lawmakers and make them an example for those who dare to oppose Israeli policies in the future, sending a message that no one is immune from their wrath.

All that Russia has done holds no weight in comparison to the interventions of Israel

The American thinker Noam Chomsky had previously affirmed that ‘all that Russia has done is almost negligible compared to what another country, openly and brazenly, with massive support (…) that country is Israel.’

According to Chomsky, the level of intervention may reach the point where the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes directly to Congress without even informing the President.

As per the American website “Intercept,” AIPAC spent over $30 million in 2020 to exert pressure on progressive lawmakers, such as Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Additionally, the Israeli lobby pumped around $70 million to prevent the election of lawmakers opposed to Israel, as revealed by the organization “Americans for Justice in Palestine.
