Bloomberg.com published a few days ago a summary of current Jewish Lobby pro war activity.
Here are some of the highlights:
“For our credibility, we have to do something,” said Morris Amitay, founder of the pro-Israel Washington Political Action Committee.
"The pro-Israel community contributed $14.5 million to federal campaigns for the 2012 elections, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That’s more than the $11.1 million in donations by the defense aerospace industry, one of the biggest and most consistent political contributors."
"While most of the Jewish groups’ donations lean Democratic, (Jewish Republican Billionaire ) Sheldon Adelson alone transformed the 2012 Republican primary when he and his wife used $15 million in private funds to sustain the unsuccessful candidacy of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and then poured $53 million into groups advancing Republican nominee Mitt Romney. In all, Adelson and his wife donated $93 million to Republican causes in the 2012 campaign, center data shows."
"The Republican Jewish Coalition, which counts Adelson as a board member, yesterday sent an 'action alert' to its 45,000 members, directing them to tell Congress to authorize force. “This is not a partisan issue,” the coalition said in its message."
