    “Even with the policy victories coming under a Republican president, the lobby still remained staunch Democratic contributors, giving more than $14.8 million in the 2018 midterms to mostly Democrats. This marked their third-biggest cycle ever and their biggest non-presidential cycle.”

    Until there’s a pro-Palestine lobby with the same influence, power, and most importantly, money as the pro-Israel lobby, nothing will change.
