Representative Robert Aderholt is no stranger to the AIPAC lobby, and has been instrumental in ensuring Israeli military interests are protected in his state. Like his counterparts, Robert has expressed how proud he is that his state specializes in weapons manufacturing. Repulsive Robert had stated in a 2024 press release that, “Those arms are built in the United States by American workers, including $1.5 billion in Patriot air defense missiles and $500 million for anti-drone weapons made in Alabama. These funds will help kick-start our domestic production…”
Repulsive Robert cosponsored a resolution that supported Israel, and approved this style of collective punishment by commenting, “Israel has every right to defend itself completely.” Robert has backed Israel financially by approving military aid of $26.38 billion to, “Defense Department to provide that country with funding for the Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Iron Beam defense systems.”
