Why do some Pro-Israel members of Congress only receive small donations from the Israel lobby?

Their consistent voting record means they don't require heavy funding to secure their support. The lobby saves its resources for competitive races or to influence uncertain lawmakers. Essentially, their reliable vote is already "bought" with their own policy positions, making large donations unnecessary.

Do U.S. taxpayers pay for Israel’s weapons?

Yes. The US provides Israel at a minimum $3.3B in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants (non-repayable) and $500M for cooperative programs annually. The US also supplements this aid with additional military aid such as in 2024 when the U.S. approved an additional $14.5B to Israel.

The $3.3 billion FMF grant is used in part (75%) by Israel to purchase US weapons, with the rest (25%) set aside for Israel to purchase Israeli weapons and parts.

What’s up with J Street?

J Street is not an automatic disqualifier for us due to their inconsistencies in rhetoric and policy. We evaluate candidates and incumbent members of Congress based on total lobby contributions, current affiliations, policy platforms, and legislative records on Israel-Palestine issues.
