California Representative Ken Calvert has gone above and beyond to secure Israel’s military interests in Congress. The price tag on Callous Calvert’s soul costs AIPAC and other Israeli lobby groups $638,807. It’s no surprise that Callous Calvert signed on to Strengthening the Israel-U.S. Alliance Act which provides Israel with $3.8 billion for their genocide operation in Palestine. Ken defended his support for the act stating, “The world is in chaos, Americans have been killed, and our allies and partners are dying on the front lines everyday.” Nowhere in Ken's statement is there a mention of the 39,000 innocent plus Palestinians murdered, including over 15,000 children in that death toll. There was no outcry from CA Rep. Ken when the 17 year old Palestinian, Florida born US citizen Mohammad Khdour's life was taken in February 2024 by IOF soldiers. Then in May 2024, Callous Calvert introduced the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, H.R. 8369, which ensures there are no federal funds withheld from Israel used for their military. 

When war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress this past July, Ken Calvert was in attendance and issued a statement in support of the Israeli leader. Ken stated, “I’m thankful that Prime Minister Netanyahu was able to speak before Congress today and describe how essential the relationship is between America and Israel. Netanyahu is absolutely correct in pointing out that ‘Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. And our victory will be your victory.’” A frightening reality is that U.S. congressman Ken Calvert applauded a convicted war criminal by international courts for his indiscriminate destruction of Gaza through collective punishment. 

Additionally, Rep. Ken Calvert is a proud friend of AIPAC, with a profile on their webpage. AIPAC wrote, “Congressman Ken Calvert is a pro-Israel leader in line to be the chair of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Redrawn district lines made this a competitive district. AIPAC members raised $100,000 for his campaign and helped him defeat his opponent.” Then in March 2024, AIPAC held their annual policy conference where Ken was featured in their pamphlet to highlight their endorsement of  his campaign and his adversary they helped defeat in the electoral race. Calvert’s callous nature will continue as long as AIPAC continues to keep his pockets full.
