John,

AIPAC, self-described as “America’s pro-Israel lobby,” has paid for
hundreds of trips to Israel for members of Congress over the last decade
in order to influence U.S. foreign policy.

[ [link removed] ]Politico: Members of Congress have taken hundreds of AIPAC-funded trips
to Israel in the past decade

A new study highlighted by Politico shows that “Israel is far and away the
No. 1 destination for privately sponsored foreign travel by members of the
House and their aides,” largely thanks to AIPAC.

In 2024 so far, AIPAC paid for eight trips by 71 House members and
staffers from March through early September; in total, the right-wing
megadonor-funded group covered about 75% of all congressional trips to
Israel.

U.S. leaders have taken more trips to Israel than to the entire Western
Hemisphere and the continent of Africa combined.

These trips are designed to give U.S. lawmakers a one-sided view of the
conflict between Israel and Palestine and influence foreign policy
decisions like additional funding for Israel’s military.

This is yet another way that AIPAC exerts its power and influence over our
political system, maintaining billions of dollars in weapons and bombs
from the U.S. despite the majority of voters’ desire for an arms embargo
and ceasefire in Gaza.

Democrats like Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez. Will you help
us find and elect more progressive, pro-peace leaders like them by
chipping in $5 or more before tomorrow’s end-of-month
fundraising deadline?
