Nancy Pelosi, a long-serving Democratic Representative from California, has been a loyalist to Israel’s agenda since her election to Congress in 1987. Her legislative efforts include strong support for Israel’s colonial agenda, notably endorsing the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding that provided $38 billion in military aid over ten years, the largest aid package in U.S. history. Pelosi has also played a crucial role in securing funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, particularly during the 2014 bombardments of Gaza. There were 50 days of bombing, a total of 2,251 Palestinians lost their lives. Among the casualties were 551 children. Additionally, Petty Pelosi has supported anti-BDS legislation, including the Anti-Israel Boycott Act, which aims to attack free speech concerning human rights violations Israel has committed on the Palestinian population. These actions reflect Petty Pelosi’s ongoing commitment to bolstering Israel's interests, all while using U.S. tax dollars to fund these atrocities.
Pelosi has a close relationship with AIPAC dating back to when her father served in congress. In 2023 Nancy delivered a speech to the floor stating, “my father, as a Member of Congress, Thomas D'Alesandro from Maryland, called upon the Roosevelt Administration to support the establishment of the State of Israel in what was known as Palestine at the time. He was early in calling for that – so it's in my DNA to protect that State of Israel.” Petty Pelosi is not shy to let her constituents know her family has a legacy of being bought out by Israeli lobbyists.
She has frequently participated in AIPAC’s annual conferences, aligning her public statements and legislative support with the organization's priorities. Her endorsement of key pro-Israel bills and resolutions demonstrates a collaborative effort to advance the U.S.-Israel alliance, at the demise of Palestinian’s human rights. The most recent bill Nancy has signed onto is the Strengthening the Israel-U.S. Alliance Act, which provides Israel with $3.8 billion for their genocide operation in Gaza, Palestine. When Nancy was faced with criticism for her connection to Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians she alluded that protestors were “connected to Russia” and stated “I think some financing should be investigated.” The only one bought out is Nancy Peolsi, and her price is high.
