Senator Tom Carper of Delaware has consistently supported Israel, a position heavily influenced by the $194,270 he has received from AIPAC to fund his political campaigns. This financial backing has clearly impacted his voting record, aligning him with Pro-Israel legislation while turning a blind eye to the suffering of Palestinians. Carper has often justified his stance by claiming, "The United States and Israel share a deep and unbreakable bond," a sentiment that underscores his unwavering support for Israel’s military actions.
Carper’s votes have not only supported this devastation but have also bolstered policies that allow for continued land grabs and the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. By aligning himself with AIPAC and the pro-Israel agenda, Carper has played a role in perpetuating the cycle of violence and oppression that afflicts Palestinians. His actions raise serious concerns about the moral responsibilities of U.S. lawmakers and the dangerous influence of lobbying money on American foreign policy.
