simple as that. You seem to be shocked that Washington elected officials engage in a legal system of bribery called "lobbying" so that they can then propagandize for votes. It is a terribly corrupt system. The most recent open spectacle of it was when Netanyahu demanded and received a platform before Congress before the Israeli elections, an action unprecedented in US history.

Israel uses the US, and is not a friend to the US. It also treats Palestinians like they are sub-human.

This will continue as long as Israel has people willing to propagandize for these atrocities in the US.
