M<\/span>ore than any political cycle in memory, the 2026 primary campaign season has been marked by frequent, and often hysterical, condemnations of the influence of the so-called \u201cIsrael lobby.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the conspiratorial anti-Trump gadfly Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) lost his Republican congressional primary in northern Kentucky in May, he quipped about the Trump-endorsed former Navy SEAL officer who defeated him: \u201cI would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.\u201d\u00a0(RELATED: <\/strong>Grifters, Activism, and Thomas Massie<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Way to question the patriotism of a decorated SEAL Team Six veteran, Tom. Keep it classy!<\/p>\n

On the Democratic side, the bogeyman du jour has been the America Israel Public Affairs Committee. Some successful Democratic candidates, such as Abdul El-Sayed in Arab-heavy Michigan, rode anti-AIPAC fervor to victory. And some losing candidates, such as the comically corrupt Cori Bush in St. Louis, blamed AIPAC for their rejection. In her concession speech, Bush vowed to dismantle AIPAC\u2019s \u201ckingdom.\u201d (RELATED: The Marxist-Islamist Alliance Feeds On DSA Na\u00efvet\u00e9)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your loss couldn\u2019t possibly be because you defrauded two federal relief programs during COVID-19, could it, Cori?<\/p>\n

These (literal) losers are barking up the wrong tree.<\/p>\n

There\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0truth to the allegation of meddlesome foreign interference in American politics. But that interference isn\u2019t coming from Israel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Massie had become a thorn in President Donald Trump\u2019s side, regularly voting against the president on domestic priorities. That, not any outside pro-Israel spending, is why Massie went down in flames. For Democrats, El-Sayed\u2019s success alone belies the popular mythology of AIPAC as juggernaut \u2014 something everyone should have intuited 11 years ago, when the lobby failed to stop former President Barack Obama\u2019s terrible Iran nuclear deal. Even more to the point: AIPAC is a group of activist Americans <\/em>who lobby and deploy money for an issue they care about. Fact is, AIPAC is no different than the NRA or the NAACP.<\/p>\n

Sore loser hysterics notwithstanding, there is<\/em>\u00a0truth to the allegation of meddlesome foreign interference in American politics. But that interference isn\u2019t coming from Israel. It\u2019s coming from terror-tied Islamic groups and Islamic governments.<\/p>\n

El-Sayed\u2019s wealthy father-in-law, Jukaku Tayeb, contributed $200,000 to a super PAC backing his son-in-law. This is no tale of innocent family kumbaya: Tayeb is a founding committee member of the Islamic Society of North America, an organization long tied to Hamas and the broader Muslim Brotherhood network. ISNA was named an unindicted coconspirator in the then-largest terror financing case in Justice Department history, the 2008 case against the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation.<\/p>\n

El-Sayed has also raised more than $115,000 from individuals who have worked for another unindicted coconspirator from the HLF bust, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. That donor pipeline includes CAIR higher-ups, such as the organization\u2019s national board chair, Manal Fakhoury. Lest we forget: CAIR was founded in 1994 as a front group to advance the interests of Hamas and the Brotherhood in the United States. CAIR\u2019s cofounder and executive director, Nihad Awad, said he was \u201chappy to see\u201d the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023. And the United Arab Emirates has designated CAIR as a terrorist organization \u2014 as have Texas and Florida, more recently.<\/p>\n

This stench is hardly limited to El-Sayed.<\/p>\n

According to sharia law-promoting former Women\u2019s March co-chair Linda Sarsour, CAIR was the single \u201clargest institutional donor\u201d to the Unity and Justice Fund PAC, which spent massively in New York City last year to send Zohran Mamdani to Gracie Mansion. Another shady super PAC, American Priorities, has, per a new investigative report, \u201cchanneled millions of dollars, primarily from donors with Arab, Muslim, and\/or Middle Eastern backgrounds, to a string of winning candidates in high-profile races.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s bad enough. But there is also massive infiltration at the national level.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia deployed the single largest sum of money of any foreign country \u2014 nearly $92 million \u2014 to lobby for its interests in Washington. Turkey was fourth; Israel wasn\u2019t anywhere close. In the two decades beginning in 2001, the kingdom \u2014 whose nationals included most of the 9\/11 hijackers that same year \u2014 retained the single most agents registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (148).<\/p>\n

Saudi frenemy Qatar, the spiritual and financial home of the Brotherhood worldwide, is routinely the single largest foreign funder of American higher education. The Qataris cut massive FARA checks to land favorable coverage with prized outlets, such as Tucker Carlson\u2019s cesspool of a podcast. The emirate owns a piece of the Washington Wizards and the Washington Capitals, and even a chunk of the Empire State Building.<\/p>\n

Getting the picture yet?<\/p>\n

Seedy foreign money is<\/em> shaping our culture and our politics. But it\u2019s not coming from where the propagandists say it is.<\/p>\n
