Top GOP donors are disproportionately Jewish. Jews made up 7/25 top GOP donors in the 2022 cycle.

Their Jewishness is very relevant to their politics. 5 of the 7 donors in the top 25 have strong, explicit support for pro-Israel policies/orgs — and all 7 are likely Zionists.

#3 GOP donor Jeffrey Yaas funds the Kohelet Policy Forum, a group which supports rw policies in Israel, and supports pro-Israel policies in the US. For example, they support laws making it illegal to participate in anti-Israel “BDS” boycotts.https://t.co/Ulw5t8B24o

The other two Jewish donors in the top 25, Stephen Wynn and Stephen Schwarzman support of pro-Israel policies and orgs is not as explicit, or well documented. However it seems likely they are zionists well:

He also supported Kushner's Israel friendly middle east peace planhttps://t.co/DihVPUbyMQ
#15 Stephen Wynn attended the Israeli American council national summit in 2019.https://t.co/TNZXvMSgoN

Also Wynn, at lease in 1996 was a personal friend of Israeli PM Netanyahu https://t.co/QieYB4TYVE
This support can have major direct impacts. For example, Singer, (Sheldon) Adelson and Marcus reportedly paved the way for dismantling the Iran deal.https://t.co/f7vXwhtT07

Adelson also was instrumental in the controversial move of the Israeli embassy.https://t.co/eq31KRVuB5
