“Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars. Israel receives over $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.”
- John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt

Former Rep. Jim Traficant - "But I believe that Israel has a powerful stranglehold on the American government. They control both members of the House, the House and the Senate. They have us involved in wars in which we have little or no interest. Our children are coming back in body bags. Our nation is bankrupt over these wars. And if you open your mouth, you get targeted. And if they don't beat you at the poll, they'll put you in prison."
Former Rep. Cynthia Mckinney had mentioned in past interviews, US Lawmakers were forced to sign a pledge to support Israel. "What does Stone Mountain Georgia have to do with Israel? What I was doing was servicing the need of my constituents and I was not allowed to do that because I did not toe the line on US policy for Israel." In this interview, she mentions questioning 9-11 and for doing so was compared to a Holocaust denier. The Israel Lobby paid for someone to run against her, resulting in her loss of re-election.
Former Rep. Gus Savage, In 1990, gave an hour-long speech in Congress in which he detailed how AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Council) subverts the democratic process on behalf of Israel.
