    G.O.P.’s Israel Support Deepens as Political Contributions Shift

    to a Congress controlled by Republicans who are more fervently pro-Israel than ever, partly a result of ideology, but also a product of a surge in donations and campaign spending on their behalf by a small group of wealthy donors.

    One of the surprisingly high-profile critics is Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who burst to prominence with a letter signed by 46 Republican colleagues to leaders of Iran warning against a deal. Mr. Cotton, echoing criticism by Israeli leaders, swiftlydenounced the framework reached on Thursday as “a list of dangerous U.S. concessions that will put Iran on the path to nuclear weapons” — words, his colleagues say, that expressed his deep concern about Iran’s threat to Israel’s security.

    But it is also true that Mr. Cotton and other Republicans benefited from millions in campaign spending in 2014 by several pro-Israel Republican billionaires and other influential American donors who helped them topple Democratic opponents.


    Republicans currently in the Senate raised more money during the 2014 election cycle in direct, federally regulated campaign contributions from individuals and political action committees deemed pro-Israel than their Democratic counterparts,


    Donors say the trend toward Republicans among wealthy, hawkish contributors is at least partly responsible for inspiring stronger support for Israel among party lawmakers who already had pro-Israel views.

    But few candidates have benefited as much as Mr. Cotton.

    The Emergency Committee for Israel, led by William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, spent $960,000 to support Mr. Cotton.

    In that same race, Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire from New York and a leading donor to pro-Israel causes, contributed $250,000 to Arkansas Horizon,

    another independent expenditure group supporting Mr. Cotton.

    Seth Klarman, a Boston-based pro-Israel billionaire, contributed $100,000.


    The political action committee run by John Bolton, the United Nations ambassador under President George W. Bush and an outspoken supporter of Israel, spent at least $825,000 to support Mr. Cotton.

    That PAC is in part financed by other major pro-Israel donors, including Irving and Cherna Moskowitz of Miami, who contributed 99 percent of their $1.1 million in 2012 races to Republican candidates and causes.

    Americans have fallen hook, line, and sinker for the AIPAC/Repug/Fox/right-wing-Muslim-hate media that the Iran is not to be trusted, but why should Iran trust America whose CIA installed the the dictatorial Shah in the early 1950s? They saw inspectors FIND NOTHING in Iraq, but USA/UK invaded anyway.

    What you don't hear of course in the Repug/AIPAC/FOX/Bibi FUD and LIES is that stringent on-site verification by Western inspectors has been agreed to by the Iranians.

    And of course, Repugs supporting Israel and wanting war, esp Apocalyptic nuclear war, with Iran pleases the Christian End Timer nihilists who think they're gonna rapture themselves to Israel and right up to heaven.

    Dunno what to make of all this iran business. For 20 years the s lie and say that iran is a year away from the bomb. Iran constantly says they're committed to the destruction of israel. Obama has never done anything good in his life so why start with the nuclear deal? So say we bomb them, well our economy can't sustain another Iraq much less what an Iran war would cost. Mountainous terrain perfect for defense, a fanatic population, competent military, been shown to down U.S. aircraft carriers In simulations, the looming threat of Russia supplying them with s300's.

    So so does iran need to be stopped? I dunno. But the USA can't defeat them alone without destroying ourselves in the process. Such an undertaking would need to be done with an overwhelming consensus in the international community and a massive international coalition. That means some s, Arabs, and assorted skins need to step up and be cannon fodder not just white US soldiers paid for with US money.

    Obama scored an A in his dealing with the Ukraine situation. Europeans could still be murdering each other if he listened to McCain/Kerry (both sides of the American political aisle)

    Stuxnet was NSA. The program overloaded and destroyed the centrifuges. How it was introduced initially is unknown.
