But not in 1963. Or even in 1967. It was just one of many. The amount it receives now indicates its perceived importance to the west to remain as the western outpost in the middle east and cause disruption and divisions.
No, the amount it screws out of recession ravaged America indicates its control over the US Congress even more than its importance as a western outpost, imo.
In 1963 Israel didn't have an iron grip on the US Legislature to the extent it does now. I never said it did. However, they still had significant influence over US institutions. They were still able to put the kibosh on John and Robert Kennedy's plans to have the lobby reclassified as a foreign agency.
