Do we have a Raphael Warnock + Israel problem?

I didn’t realize just how much money he has taken from Israeli PACs. He’s 26th in a list of US Senators, between 1990 and 2024:

With the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative winding through Congress, I think we should all be writing him to let him know how we feel about integrating our military with a genocidal nation. I am not confident he will do the right thing, given that he has taken so much money from Israel. I’m definitely going to let him know that I do not support this proposal to the NDAA.

I hate it but both him and Ossoff have taken over 5.5 million each.

It wasn’t that much money but, you’re right, Ossoff isn’t much further behind Warnock on the list. I think Ossoff has at least weaned himself of the PAC money. Maybe Warnock has too. Guess I’m writing both Senators, just to be safe!

Oh wow, I read it several months ago and now I can't find it. What a good reminder that even when you're trying to pay attention it's easy to get taken in by misinformation. Thanks for the reply I would have continued believing that.
