Lindsey Graham, AIPAC's Top Cheerleader, Demands More War
Senator Lindsey Graham is 'itching for US action against Iran,' according to RT. This isn't news, it's a broken record. Graham, who has championed military interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, now finds a fresh target for his bellicosity. One might wonder about the consistent theme of his policy prescriptions, which always seem to involve American taxpayer dollars funding conflicts abroad.
Graham's appetite for war isn't developed in a vacuum. According to OpenSecrets.org, Senator Graham has received significant contributions from pro-Israel lobbying groups. For instance, in the 2022 election cycle alone, he received $19,500 from NORPAC and $11,000 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) PAC, among others. Such financial backing conveniently aligns with his
consistent calls for confrontation with nations perceived as threats to Israeli security interests. It appears the senator's 'itch' might be financially incentivized, a matter rarely highlighted in the same breath as his saber-rattling on cable news.
