Why the fuss over AIPAC when Qatar has far more influence?

AIPAC only lobbies over $3 million per year. Add contributions and it's over $100 million

Compare that to this

'Raises a lot of questions': Qatar has spent nearly $100B in the U. S. to gain influence: Report / MS NOW

They are the largest foreign funder of US education (Israel isn't even top 10), and lobby 3x more. This is according to a leftist news organization

Maybe this is a sign actors like Qatar have more control than Israel and are pushing anti Israel sentiments in both parties. We know anti Israel sentiments have always existed on the right. Now, they appear prevalent on the left.

It also goes a long way to explain university student movements like "Queers for Palestine" 😂

Because AIPAC is actively trying to subvert the US government. Whereas other Lobby groups are only interested in doing business.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

😂 😂 😂
Funny

[Snakeyes7]

I hear Qatar is funding our education institutions which would explain why everyone is so friendly to Islam nowadays, even though they shouldn't.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

@Snakeyes7 100% correct
And I just learned @jshm2 is an Islamist Turk that pretends to be British.
I knew he smelled wrong.

Qatar has far more muslim influence

[RachyRach]

The middle east has endless money. They can whatever they want at this point.

[NaultD]

Domestic evangelical dooms day cultist has a large amount of influence.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

In what way? Who specifically?
You are using lots of loaded words. Trying to understand.

[NaultD]

Isn't it common knowledge the evangelical believes in the second coming of Jesus to bring Armageddon? The believers will float into the sky and rapture from the Bible will happen

That was a big deal moving usa embassy inside israel to Jerusalem back in the day. We even had a big rapture prediction last year September 23–24, 2025. People selling houses and any material belongings. Leaving note and supplies. Huge voting block too all on for don.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Yes, okay. What does it have to do with AIPAC controlling the nation?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Here, I'll say it simply.
Yes, evangelical voters helped Trump win.
Are they are doomsdayers? No. Most didn't sell their houses and belongings.
Did some? Sure.

Moving the embassy was certainly a big political move. Not just for those in the US, but also for the politics of the Middle east.

However, this has nothing to do with AIPAC "controlling" the nation.
Democrats and Republicans are both on their payroll. Multiple administration's undoubtedly had money from them.

My question is

How is this "control" whe other forces give many times more and dictate things like university curriculum?

Also, you reply suggestions AIPAC never had "control" until Trump

[NaultD]

I would say influence is a better word. To put it bluntly israel is a testing ground for some unethical stuff only tolerable because of such voting blocks.

Young Joe biden just to be on the same page. Circles back to the military industrial complex.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Sure. Okay. So, why point out Israel? Isn't every other nation a testing ground then?

[NaultD]

As joe biden said it's our testing ground or we have to invest into another one.

It's just convenient. Evangelical vote throw billions. Zionist can throw billions. All protected by saying are you Antisemitic? Even the IDF abuse hasitic Jewish people who question their authority.

Go on Google "hasitic Jewish people abused by IDF." The little AI TOOL says i don't see anything but click images.

Does Google control the world? No. Is it influential. Yes. People are lazy.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

No, Joe Biden is talking about US influences. Israel is an important regional partner.
How is this weird to you?

So, why ignore Qatars influence?
If Israel controlled the USA, wouldn't your voice be silenced?

[NaultD]

Israel has turn too a overly spoiled dog more trouble then it's worth.

Qatar dosen't have a voting block inside usa.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Qatar funds more politicians than the US.
They already win the propaganda war against Israel.
You are proof of that 😂

[NaultD]

Qatar gave don a plane. That's the beginning and end of my Qatar knowledge. Couldn't point it on the map.

The worst anti propaganda against Israel is pro Israel propaganda they brag about.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

That might be part of the problem 😂
Though i only just l recently found out myself.
They heavily outdo Israel in spending and its strange no one talks about it

[NaultD]

Again circling back no domestic voting block. No rapture prediction cultist.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Sure they do.
#1 foreign funder of education.
Professors on payrolls and control over curriculum.
Likely influencing future generations.
Various politicians on their payroll (including Trump).
Seems significant to me

[NaultD]

States have independent control of schools curriculum.

Who isn't under political figures payroll?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I'm not claiming anyone isn't.
I'm explaining Qatar has more influence in congress, and is the single largest foreign influencer of education.
That doesn't bother you?
It's ironic to claim independent control while also arguing financial influence.
You are purposefully trying to avoid Qatar because you recognize the logical contradiction

[NaultD]

We are talking about 50 different states having isolated control of education. While Qatar a middle east country somehow jedi mind tricks 50 states?

Compared to a post ww2 puppet state of USA getting too big for their britches biting our ass in the long run?

[NaultD]

Just to laugh amd point at you

[FrodoSkywalker007]

@naultd so moral of the story.
AIPAC lobbies $60+ million in 20 years. $2 billion+, if we want to include contributions. That = enough to control US policy.

Qatar invests $100+ billion (I've seen many times that amount). 3x Israel in lobbying. #1 foreign investor in education. That = no influence.

Right 😂
Go take your meds

[NaultD]

AIPAC bribes a fuck ton more but hides it.

Ultimately I am over this usa law makers put conditions on government funds "you can't protest against Israel."

If Qatar must be supported by law makers demands come back to me.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Oh please. People protest all the time. People on both sides ridicule Israel all the time

[Snakeyes7]

We shouldn't be getting influence from either of them.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Do they have HOBC "Heartthrobby Older Black Cowboys") for much-younger buxom cowgirls?

[Anonymous]

Anything related to AIPAC is bad news
