WHO CONTROLS MARYLAND, VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATIONS?
ISRAEL! WHICH ALWAYS INTERFERES IN U.S. ELECTIONS!
Just Maryland and Virginia? They border the District of Columbia where I live. Insha’Allah, I can expand this concept to other States. But the control of United States foreign policy is a concern for us all.
Proof--Maryland. In October 2023, MarylandReporter.Com wrote “Sen. Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and plans to retire after his third term ends in 2025, visited Saudi Arabia and then Israel during the third week of October.” The site failed to note that he visited two of the most repressive governments in the region.
His comments after that trip? “At a minimum, the senator said, the goal must be the “taking out the command and control of Hamas and the tunneling system.” He said that can be accomplished while being “as strategic as possible” regarding civilian casualties.
“The initial reaction in Israel was one of tremendous anger and just wanting to do everything they could to destroy Hamas,” Cardin said. “I think it has become much more focused as time has gone on, and I think the United States has played an important role in that regard.”
Furthermore, it was Cardin who co-sponsored, the Reporter said, a resolution stating the Senate stands firmly with Israel and firmly against Hamas.
Naturally, the site omitted two salient facts: Cardin is a Jew and a heavy contributor to AIPAC (American-Israel Political Affairs Committee), the U.S. pro-Israel lobby. That organization is somehow exempt from registering under the Foreign Agents Act (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq).
Money from pro-Apartheid Israel sources provided Cardin totaled $913,485 between 1990 and 2024, (OpenSecrets.Com)
Ben Cardin
The other Maryland Senator, Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, is also a Zionist tool. On October 19, 2023, he stated “Israel has not only a right but also a responsibility to defend itself and to end Hamas’ operational control in Gaza. Following the horrific Hamas terrorist attack and ongoing violence, we stand by our partner and ally Israel in support of this right, as it prosecutes its fight against Hamas and their indiscriminate attacks that have harmed both Israelis and Palestinians. This bipartisan push underscores our steadfast support for the people of Israel as we continue working to provide tangible support to their defense.”
Van Hollen’s price for treason was a measly $282,106 between 1990 and 2024. (OpenSecrets.Com)

And On To the Agents in the Lower House. Turning to another of the Israeli Congressional agents, we find Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), a long-term Member of the House of Representatives, who began his political career as a staffer to former Senator Daniel Brewster and, later, as a member of the Maryland State Senate.
At one point he was quoted as saying: “We shall not be moved, Israel. We shall not be moved, America. We shall not move all those in this world who are for justice and fairness and international law. Criminals must be called to account.”
BUT Steny went further, parroting the whole Zionist line of lies about its genocide in Occupied Palestine in his press release of Oct 18, 2023:
…“Jews have the unequivocal right to live safely and securely in the world's only Jewish state. And Israel – like any other sovereign nation – has an absolute right to defend itself and its people.
“From defiling the dead bodies of innocents to massacring Israeli infants, these terrorist extremists perpetrate criminal acts of violence indistinguishable from those carried out by ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban.
“It is not enough for America and the free world to decry these terrorists and their crimes. In this challenging hour, we have a duty - a duty - to give Israel the time and support necessary to protect its people, rescue all hostages, and eliminate these terrorist organizations so that their attacks never, never occur again…
“‘Jews must have the absolute right to live safely and securely in their ancestral homeland,’... ‘In this terrifying hour, I stand with them, and I stand with Israel as our ally does whatever it takes to protect the Israeli people and their security and sovereignty.”
Pro-Israel “donations” to Steny Hoyer for support of a foreign entity totaled $1,662,194 between 1990 and 2024. (OpenSecrets.Com)

Another member of the Maryland delegation, “[Andrew] Harris, the Republican, said in an interview…that Biden shouldn’t be “interfering” with Israel’s handling of the war.”
“I think the United States shouldn’t second-guess Israel and what’s the best way to win this war against Hamas,” [He] said. “I think the Israelis understand how to win this war, and I think President Biden doesn’t. I think he’s bending to the political will of some of the Democrat Party and I think that’s dangerous to Israel.”
Jaime Raskin, another Jew from Maryland in the U.S. House of Representatives, didn’t get a bucket of money from the pro-Israelites, just $200,062, (OpenSecrets.Com) but he, nevertheless, stood four-square for the Zionist genociders,
On October 7, 2023, he put the following from Capitol Hill Jews up on his Congressional website:
"We are united in standing with and supporting our ally Israel as it responds to terrorist attacks from Gaza. Hamas has declared war on Israel and her people. Our alliance with Israel is unbreakable; our commitment to Israel’s security is ironclad. We extend our condolences to the families of all those killed, our hopes for recovery for the many hundreds wounded, and pray for the safe and immediate return of all hostages taken. We support Israel’s right to defend itself—to protect its people and communities—and will do all we can to ensure Israel has the ability and capacity to restore and maintain its security and the safety of all its citizens."
On October 1, 2023, he wrote on his site: “The brutal terrorist operation conducted by Hamas against Israeli civilians over the last week constitutes a mass war crime, a shocking crime against humanity, an illegal invasion of a sovereign country, and the most murderous assault on Jewish civilians since the Holocaust.”
Jaime Raskin
The rest of the Free State’s House members, Dutch Ruppersberger, John Sarbanes, Glenn Ivey, and Kweisi Mfume had little to say. But one got lots of money from the extremist supporters of the Apartheid Entity (OpenSecrets.Com):
Ruppersberger: none noted
Sarbanes: none noted
Mfume: none noted
Glenn Ivey: $775,199
It was Ivey who used this money (and more besides) to defeat progressive Donna Edwards (D-Md.). United Democracy Project, which is aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, spent about $6 million to elect Ivey. And Democratic Majority for Israel spent more than $425,000 to elect Ivey. (Huffington Post, July 20, 2022)
Proof (or not)—Virginia. Surprisingly, Jews don’t like Virginia’s U.S. Senators, Mark Warner (D) and Tim Kaine (D):
Several of us recently wrote to Virginia Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, urging them to support Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists. We appreciated their detailed responses but were disappointed by their minimal, judgmental support for Israel, poor grasp of reality and focus on Palestinian suffering in Gaza rather than what Palestinian terrorists did to Israelis last October. (Washington Jewish Week, February 29, 2024).
However, Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is a strong backer of the Israeli Entity, for which he has been richly rewarded. OpenSecrets.Com noted that his take from pro-Zionists has been $1,153,751. This came, doubtless, from his remarks in 2010. As noted by Al Jazeera in November of that year: “He made clear that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States, and that the security of each nation is reliant upon the other.” Included in Cantor’s remarks was a statement of Loyalty to Binyamin Netanyahu, which, Al Jazeera added, “Cantor’s pledge of allegiance to a foreign leader would be remarkable, and deeply offensive, even if the foreign country in question were Canada or the United Kingdom…”
Eric Cantor
According to Robert Wittman’s Congressional website, May 2021: “Today, Congressman Rob Wittman (R-VA-01) sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken [a Jew] urging the Biden Administration to refrain from re-entering the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, on the grounds that the prospect of returning [sic] this controversial agreement has intensified the conflict between Israel and Hamas…”
On October 27, 2023, Wittman went on to repeat Zionist propaganda:
…Hamas has continued their bloodshed and brutality without regard for civilians or humanity. They have targeted Israeli victims' families with images of murder and barbarism. They have prevented Palestinian civilians from fleeing war zones in efforts to retain human shields. There is no defense for their terrorism, and we cannot sit idly by and ignore these unconscionable acts.
The United States shares a special relationship with Israel — our only democratic partner in the Middle East. Now, it is up to us to stand up for our friend. I believe we must strictly enforce U.S. laws to prevent any assistance from enabling terrorists and enforce U.S. sanctions against Iran to prevent the funding of terrorist organizations.
Robert Wittman
As for Jennifer Kiggans (R-Va.), her website displayed on October 11, 2023 an outrageous statement supporting the Israeli extremists :
Today, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) [former Navy helicopter pilot] announced she has cosponsored a bipartisan resolution to condemn Hamas’ brutal and unprovoked attacks, reaffirm Congress’ unwavering support for Israel, and mourn the thousands killed and wounded since October 7, 2023, including at least 14 Americans. H.Res. 768 also condemns Iran’s support of terrorist groups – including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad – and urges swift and full enforcement of U.S. sanctions to prevent further funding of these groups throughout the Middle East and beyond…
“The atrocities being committed against Israel by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists require a swift and unwavering response from America,” said Congresswoman Kiggans. “Israel is – and always will be – our closest ally in the Middle East. I strongly support Israel’s right to self-defense and will do everything in my power to provide the Israeli people with the military, intelligence, and humanitarian aid they need as they fight to defend their nation.”
Jennifer Kiggans
Robert Scott (D-Va.) tries to carry water on both shoulders, at least according to his Congressional website:
“To ensure a lasting ceasefire and peace, negotiations must include further humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza and a release of all hostages. Israel has a right to defend itself but, as the Biden Administration has made clear, this must be in accordance with international law which includes minimizing civilian causalities to the greatest extent possible. This will be critical as we work towards a future where Hamas is defeated and can no longer terrorize Israelis and Gazans. It will also bolster our efforts to ensuring a lasting peace in the region, a two-state solution, and the safety and dignity of the Israeli and Palestinian people.”
Perhaps being of Filipino extraction is one reason for this. Israelites in the U.S. only gave him $65,544. Although he hits all the Zionist talking points: Israel has a right to defend itself as well as Hamas defeated along with a two-state solution.
Robert Scott
Still, Jennifer McClellan (D-Va.) stands with Israel even though she got only $41,810 from pro-Israel funds. (OpenSecrets.Com). As she commented on her government website:
I strongly condemn the horrific terrorist attacks by Hamas and grieve the innocent Israeli and Palestinian lives lost. The United States stands with Israel and supports its right to defend itself and restore security in the area, while urging Israel to use all precautions to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza and adhere to the rule of law. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am committed to doing all I can to ensure Israel has the resources and support it needs to defend itself. Last Monday, I joined the Richmond Jewish community to stand in solidarity at an event organized by the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond.
Jennifer McClellan
In a March 24, 2024 press release, Congressman Robert Good (R-Va.) supported Israel’s murders, war crimes, and human rights violations:
Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) is introducing the Stand with Israel Resolution to express strong support for America’s close friend and important ally. This resolution denounces calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, and for the establishment of an independent state of Palestine. It also demands an end to U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the termination of U.S. assistance to Palestinian entities, government officials, relief agencies, and NGOs until an independent and comprehensive investigation is completed.
“Instead of unequivocally backing our most important ally in the Middle East, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have undermined Israel’s efforts to defend itself by repeatedly suggesting there should be a ceasefire in Gaza,” said Good. “The United States must continue to support Israel as they defend themselves from the Hamas terrorists who have brutally attacked their citizens, including women, children, and the elderly. In the absence of leadership from the White House, I am proud to be joined by my colleagues in the House who stand with Israel.”
To date, he has received no overt money for his treason, but this and possibly additional collaboration with the Apartheid Enemy will fill his pockets with something other than coal.
Robert Good
In a January 20, 2021 letter to Secretary of State Blinken (a Jew), Ben Cline (R-Va.) wrote: “Giving money to UNRWA is an egregious use of taxpayer money, harms our interests in the region, and endangers key allies.” (Presumably illegitimate Israel.)
He voted “Yea” on a Resolution “Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.”
And he again said “Yea” December 13, 2023 on a Resolution “Condemning antisemitism on University campuses and the testimony of University Presidents in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.” [Anti-Semitism translates as criticism of Israel and support for Arab Palestine. Arabs ae a Semitic people speaking a Semitic tongue.]
OpenSecrets.Com doesn’t seem to have found any Zionist money flowing into his campaign, but it’s only a matter of time until he is rewarded for his votes.
Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), probably because of her ties to her former employer, wrote October 10, 2023:
U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger today joined U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX-10), Ranking Member Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY-05), and 390 of their colleagues to introduce a bipartisan resolution standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas terrorists and condemning Hamas’ brutal war against Israel.
“As a former CIA case officer [emphasis added] and current Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I know that the United States must continue to stand by our ally and provide Israel with the intelligence, defense, and humanitarian assistance it needs to secure its borders and neutralize the Hamas terrorists,” said Spanberger. ”The events we are seeing unfold in Israel are horrific beyond words, and I join my colleagues in unequivocally condemning Hamas’ abhorrent crimes and attacks.”
Not content with that statement, Spanberger continued, saying on October 20, 2024:
U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger today joined an effort with 130 of her colleagues expressing support for the Biden Administration’s principled leadership [!!!] in addressing the conflict and humanitarian situation in the Middle East.
In a letter sent to President Joe Biden, Spanberger and her colleagues — led by U.S. Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-NY-12), Dan Goldman (D-NY-10), and Jamie Raskin (D-MD-08) [all Jews]— thanked the administration for demonstrating strong U.S. global leadership in a dangerous and uncertain moment for Israel, the greater Middle East region, and the world.
“The horrific attack on October 7 against Israel by the terrorist organization Hamas took the lives of over 1,400 people, injured over 3,000 more, and resulted in the capture of nearly 200 people – including many American citizens – who are being held as hostages in Gaza,” said Spanberger and her colleagues. “You have rightly condemned these actions as pure evil and expressed the United States’ steadfast support for our ally Israel in a moment of need and horror.”
Her take, to date, of $357,717 should surely rise, given her services to Israel, rather than the United States, to which she swore allegiance. This will, undoubtedly, aid her planned run for the Commonwealth’s governorship.

Don Beyer (D-Va.) is apparently one of the more sensible Congressmen, perhaps because he was once a U.S. diplomat. In an undated article on Messenger, Rep. Don Beyer…became the first member of Virginia's congressional delegation to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
In a statement posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Beyer said he supports negotiations seeking a deal that would establish a ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages.
"Ultimately, a ceasefire should be used to pave the way for negotiations on a new political and security architecture for Gaza that allows Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace, security and dignity," Beyer said. "That is the objective American Policy should pursue."
That kind of thinking doesn’t result in big bucks from Israeli funding agents in the U.S. Beyer only received $59,066 between 1990 and 2024. (OpenSecrets.Com).
Don Beyer
Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) is another Israeli mouthpiece in the U.S. Congress. As he emailed on October 13, 2023:
…Hamas’ brutality has been stunning. At the time of writing this column, they have killed more than 1,000 Israelis, including more than 200 people attending a music festival, and 27 Americans. There are stories of kidnapped families, murdered grandparents, beheaded babies, and burned children. All innocent civilians who were killed for no other reason that being in Israel.
These acts of terror are unconscionable, yet Hamas says their actions are justified. Ghazi Hamad, spokesperson for Hamas, said the attack was justified due to the attacks by Jewish settlers, against Palestinians, in the West Bank.
To the shock of many around the world, Palestinians and other Muslims agree, saying after years of injustice at the hands of Israel in the Gaza Strip, it’s only right that Hamas would react in such a way.
This thinking does not surprise me, however. Palestine has long blamed Israel for their suffering, while both its leaders and people have actively worked against their own self interests.
Morgan Griffith
Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) isn’t neutral. On December 5, 2023, she wrote “The horrific attack on October 7 against Israel by the terrorist organization Hamas took the lives of over 1,400 people, injured over 3,000 more…but Hamas is a terrorist organization that seeks out war and aims for the destruction of Israel; Israel has a right to defend itself…”
Despite those remarks, Wexton was not bankrolled by Israel’s “helpers” in the United States. Perhaps her remarks will bring in much-needed cash for November’s upcoming elections.
Jennifer Wexton
Gerald Connally (D-Va.), on October 7, 2023, stated: "I am horrified by the terrorist attacks on civilians in Israel, and I unequivocally condemn the violence committed by Hamas. The United States stands with our ally and the Israeli people."
On January 10, 2024, Connolly added:
"The current conflict in Gaza needs to be approached with moral clarity. Hamas’ bloody and heinous terrorist attack on October 7th started this war. It must be condemned for what it was... Israel has a right and a responsibility to ensure its own security and protect itself from the threat posed by Hamas.
"I have worked on issues related to Israel for more than 40 years, and remain a strong supporter of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
OpenSecrets.Com doesn’t list any Zionist money flowing to Connolly--yet.
Gerald Connolly
COMMENT. This is a lengthy roll call of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim statements made by officials who have, supposedly, sworn allegiance to the United States of America, not Israel. It is inconceivable that these Congressmen do not represent the interests of their constituents who are growing incensed at “their” supporting a rogue “state” that has universal health care when they don’t. If the American media would report news, instead of opinion, they would know that Israel, America’s oldest enemy and greatest debtor, has a standard of living equal to the countries of Western Europe. But simply alluding to the content of their remarks would not provide the appropriate, pellucidly clear picture of a Zionist Occupied Government. These Congressmen are either brain-dead or paid off or subject to blackmail. There is no other possible reason for their support of the extremists controlling the illegitimate entity of Israel. (Cf. The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé. Or, Allison Weir’s site, If Americans Knew - What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine)
The money paid to the foregoing professional politicians is clear evidence that Israel interferes in U.S. elections and foreign policy. No other country, even with so few Jews, permits this, except Germany, which will never forgive the Palestinians for the Holocaust (as one African journalist remarked). In the past, the crazed Zionists even removed some of their critics from Congress: Senator James Abourezk (D-S.D.); Senator Charles Percy (R-Ill.); Congressman Paul Findley (R-Ill.); Congressman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), to name a few.
The politicians named before the Comment Section supposedly represent their constituents in the United States. They do not have constituents in Israel. Yet, Democrat or Republican, they toe the Zionist line, even in Virginia which does not have the plethora of Jews that Maryland has. According to the 2022 census and the Jewish Virtual Library, there were 240,000 Jews in Maryland, roughly 4% of the population. Virginia has only 150,600. Not even 2% of the inhabitants. And the whole country has only 7.4 million, about 2% of the total. Yet, no group or religion has such control over the American Congress—to the point where that body acts against its own country and supports another, a proven enemy that firebombed U.S. Information Service offices, along with a Consulate in Egypt, and attempted to sink the U.S.S. Liberty.
THEREFORE, shouldn’t we be thinking about who to elect to Congress before November 2024? Shouldn’t we be thinking about United States’ interests, and not Israeli ones? And why the Department of State can’t figure that out?
And do not forget that Maryland and Virginia are only two of 50 States whose representatives and governments work for Isarel and against the United States.
And remember, “In accordance with international humanitarian law, wars of national liberation have been expressly embraced, through the adoption of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 (pdf), as a protected and essential right of occupied people everywhere.” (Al Jazeera, July 20, 2017). So, the Israeli enemy can’t claim it has a right to defend itself from a people and country it is occupying. “Israel’s Right of Defense” has, so far, murdered 43,586 Palestinians (that have not been buried by rubble) while millions are on the edge of famine. The Jewish fanatics keep insisting that the dastardly Palestinians have killed 1200 of them. In reality, though, most of the dead Zionists were killed by trigger happy Israeli forces flying American-supplied Apache helicopters.
