🇮🇱💸 Money talks: How the AIPAC tail wags the dog of American politics
Simple math: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spends millions lobbying the US Congress — while Israel receives billions from the US government.
Who are the major recipients?…

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Newsweek reports that 15% to 20% of the global THAAD missile interceptor stockpile was depleted to defend against Iranian attacks in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, with costs exceeding $800 million
The Pentagon press office told Newsweek, 'We have nothing to provide.'
Approximately 100 U.S. troops have been deployed in Israel with two THAAD batteries since 2024 to intercept Iranian and Yemeni missiles.
To defend against just one of the 22 waves of Operation True Promise 3, the U.S. military used 39 THAAD interceptors, while Israelis used more than 40 'Arrow' missiles.
A 2021 U.S. Department of Defense press briefing revealed that only 41 THAAD interceptors were ordered for that year, bringing the global total to 625 by the end of 2021. It is unclear how many exist in total currently.
*The $800 million cost does not include the expenses for SM-3, SM-6, and other missiles used by the U.S. military in their interception attempts during the 12-day war.
