Israeli lobby bribes US politicians
An American investigative journalist says US politicians receive money from Israeli lobbies in exchange for securing Tel Aviv's interests in the Middle East. In an exclusive interview with Press TV's US desk, David Lindorff said that the Israeli lobby practically gives money to every politician in the US Congress.
“Politicians in the US need money to get elected because we don't have publicly-funded elections,” Lindorff said.
He emphasized that they cooperate with the Israeli lobby, which is “very wealthy and very powerful,” mainly because they just “don't want to have that lobby working against them." He noted that the pro-Israeli lobby is “the most power lobby in the United States” after the National Rifle Association, which heavily promotes free ownership of firearms in the country.
