Israeli prison authorities gave a tour of a maximum-security facility to Jewish settlers where they held a “Torah lesson” and observed the abuse of Palestinian prisoners, Israeli media reported on 23 February.

Kobi Yaakobi, head of Israel’s prison system, invited 20 members of the synagogue in Har Homa, an illegal West Bank settlement near Jerusalem, on a “safari” tour of Nitzan maximum-security prison.

Palestinian detainees, including alleged members of Hamas’s elite Nukhba forces, were handcuffed and forced to lie on the ground to be observed by the visitors. The Jewish settlers ate an “indulgent lunch” in front of the prisoners, who were fasting for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The settlers also “blessed” the prison guards.

                No, it’s 85-95%

                https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=2024&ind=Q05

                In the 2024 election cycle they contributed an average donation of well over $100,000 to 479 members of Congress… which is about 89% of the total members of house and senate. This does not include the president and vice president, or members of state legislators or the 40 million dollars they gave to fight against Mamdani in New York.

                The 89% number may be a percent or two too high because they also contribute to mid terms and they data is not separate from this data on open secrets… it probably is, but I’m not gonna spend all day looking for it. JD Vance acting as the 101st vote in the Senate would make up 1 percent there if this is the case.

                Well above 2/3rds. Your number is closer to a “lie” than my number, but both numbers are ridiculous.

                If you think “only 2/3rds” is somehow a defensive argument, you are loony tunes.

                    No it doesn’t. For the 2024 election cycle they have contributed to 479 members like I said, of the total 535.

                    2024 election cycle data

                    Edit:

                    Ohhhhhh… I see. You’re a racist antisemitic genocide supporter.
