Lede: The Hebrew Outlet "Ynet" Put Out A Shockingly Blunt Article In Hebrew,
Boasting About The Power Of The Israeli Lobby.

The Hebrew version of the Israeli newspaper Ynet, the online version of one of
Israel's largest newspapers, Yedioth Ahronoth, put out a shockingly blunt
article written by its U.S. correspondent, Tzippy Shmilovitz, boasting that "the
lobby is embarking on an all-out war to oust rebellious politicians on both
sides of the fence".

The article not only admitted that the Israeli lobby was behind Thomas Massie's
loss in Kentucky, but also behind primary campaigns against Israel-critical
progressives in the Democratic Party, such as Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.

Referring to the primary against Thomas Massie, the article wrote, "Massie did
indeed lose easily; in fact, he had no chance. Not only because when Trump
decides to destroy a Republican's career, that career does indeed end, but also
because Massie got into trouble with one of the most powerful political
organizations in Washington history: the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC".

"Massie, one might say, represented for AIPAC the beginning of a challenge -
still very small - even among Republican elected officials. And it was very
important for AIPAC to stop the drift on this side as quickly as possible," the
article added.

"Very few organizations have the power of the pro-Israel lobby. This power was
built over decades of close relations between every US administration and every
Israeli government", the article went on to add, even claiming that it "
benefits from the disproportionate influence of American Jewry", a reference to
Zionist billionaires like Paul Singer and Miriam Adelson.

The article went on to boast that "AIPAC can end the careers of anyone it deems
hostile to Israel," boasting that pro-Israel lobby groups ended the careers of
Israel-critical progressives on the Democratic side, writing, "Last year, it
successfully invested more than $23 million to defeat the Corey Bush (sic.)From
Missouri and Jamal Bauman (sic.)From New York, two progressives who have loudly
opposed American aid. AIPAC also poured more than a million dollars into the
Democratic primaries in Oregon, and helped Congresswoman Maxine Dexter in her
race against a progressive opponent."

Had this article been published in English by a critic of Israel, it would be
branded as an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, and yet in Hebrew, the Israeli
media is openly boasting about the Israel lobby's effort to buy Congress.
