The Israel Project

When it comes to American politics, Kraft is no less influential, using his monetary power to push the Israeli agenda in Washington.

In addition to directly funding Donald Trump, It spent vast amounts, vast sums, bankrolling virtually every group constituting the U.S.-Israel lobby, including the American Friends of the Israel Museum, the American Friends of the Yitzhak Rabin Center, AIPAC, the ADL, the Committee for Accuracy in the Middle East Reporting and Analysis, or CAMRA, the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces, the Israel Project, the Jewish Agency for Israel, the Jewish National Fund, and Stand With Us.

Robert Kraft, in other words, is the Israel lobby.

Yep.

Yep.

It's sort of an art.

You see this IHRA formulation becoming more prevalent and being used more and more alongside a fundamental shift in the talking points and guidance materials that were coming out of Israel lobby groups like the Israel Project when they were offering these guides on how pro-Israel advocates on campuses in particular should be advocating for Israel and defending Israel against criticisms.

And where this started was them saying, you know, well, you know, you got to try to present a more reasonable side of the argument.

You need to sort of sometimes set up straw man arguments.

So this is not new.

This is part of how the Israel Project keeps going, is it comes up with new stuff and it sells it to people.

And this battle tested on Palestinian thing is literally like a market slogan for them.
