In the aftermath of Israel\u2019s Gaza genocide, some of the richest Jews in America have united to crush the one Republican who dared say no to their blank check, turning Kentucky\u2019s May 2026 primary into an existential referendum on whether any anti-Zionist can survive in a Jewish-dominated political order.<\/span><\/p>\n Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who resigned from Congress in January 2026, ignited controversy on March 31, 2026, when she identified the billionaire donors backing former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein\u2019s campaign against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and accused them of prioritizing a foreign country over American interests. (Other\u00a0TOO<\/em>\u00a0articles on Massie.)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou know who has not been tested? His opponent. His opponent that is literally propped up and funded by three Jewish billionaires,\u201d Greene\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0during a virtual fundraiser for Massie that also featured former Rep. Ron Paul and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). \u201cNow look, I\u2019m not anti-Semitic, I don\u2019t care what people\u2019s religion are, but these three billionaires that are funding this opponent against Thomas Massie don\u2019t even live in Kentucky, they\u2019re not eve-, they don\u2019t have a home in his district. And their loyalty is to Israel, not the United States of America.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Greene continued with an urgent call to action: \u201cSo I think what\u2019s extremely important for people to understand is you need to donate some money. You need to donate some money on the MassieMoneyBomb.com because this is a fight for America first. This is a fight against a foreign country, against foreign interests, and against foreign money. And it\u2019s that type of foreign money that has already bought off most members of Congress.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The three donors Greene\u00a0referenced<\/a>\u00a0are the same ones identified by the\u00a0Washington Examiner<\/em>: New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer, who contributed $1 million to the anti-Massie super PAC MAGA KY; Florida hedge fund manager John Paulson, who contributed $250,000; and the Preserve America PAC \u2014 primarily funded by Nevada casino mogul Miriam Adelson \u2014 which contributed $750,000. None of the three donors live in Kentucky.<\/span><\/p>\n Massie has\u00a0characterized<\/a>\u00a0the effort as a \u201cDC-funded hit job.\u201d The Massie fundraiser raised over $351,000 in its first 24 hours, driven by more than 3,200 small donors. The MAGA KY super PAC, run by Chris LaCivita \u2014 who co-managed Donald Trump\u2019s 2024 presidential campaign \u2014 had spent\u00a0$1.56 million in just 38 days<\/a>\u00a0on television and digital advertisements opposing Massie by early August 2025. By late March 2026,\u00a0CBS News<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0total MAGA KY spending had grown to approximately $2.7 million, while a super PAC linked to the Republican Jewish Coalition had directed more than $2.8 million toward the race. RJC CEO Matt Brooks had\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0earlier, \u201cLike Trump, we are committed to the defeat of Massie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The involvement of the Republican Jewish Coalition alongside these massive outside donations makes one thing clear. The effort is not about Kentucky values but about enforcing unconditional loyalty to Israel. Who are these three Jewish billionaires, and what are their political priorities?<\/span><\/p>\n 1. Paul Singer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Paul Elliott Singer, born August 22, 1944, in New York City, contributed $1 million to MAGA KY \u2014 the single largest individual donation to the anti-Massie campaign. Forbes\u00a0estimates<\/a>\u00a0his net worth at $6.7 billion as of 2025. restart<\/span><\/p>\n Singer\u00a0founded<\/a>\u00a0Elliott Associates in 1977 with $1 million in seed capital. The firm grew into Elliott Management Corporation, which\u00a0managed<\/a>\u00a0approximately $72.7 billion in assets as of December 31, 2024. Elliott has long been described as a \u201cvulture fund\u201d \u2014 its model involves buying distressed sovereign and corporate debt at steep discounts and pursuing aggressive litigation for full repayment. The most notorious example was Elliott\u2019s\u00a015-year legal campaign against Argentina<\/a>\u00a0over defaulted sovereign bonds, which ultimately extracted full repayment.<\/span><\/p>\n Singer has been among the most significant funders of neoconservative foreign policy ventures. He was FDD\u2019s second-largest contributor from 2008 to 2011,\u00a0donating<\/a>\u00a0$3.6 million to the hawkish think tank focused on Iran policy and pro-Israel advocacy. He\u00a0serves<\/a>\u00a0as Chairman Emeritus at the Manhattan Institute, per the Elliott Management website, and\u00a0donated<\/a>\u00a0more than $1 million to AIPAC\u2019s United Democracy Project in recent election cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n Singer describes himself as a libertarian-leaning conservative but has consistently backed interventionist foreign policy. He was a major fundraiser for George W. Bush and heavily funded Marco Rubio\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign. He donated $1 million to the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC during the Stop Trump movement before eventually reconciling with Trump and\u00a0donating<\/a>\u00a0$5 million to his super PAC in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. John Paulson<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n John Alfred Paulson, born December 14, 1955, in Queens, New York, contributed $250,000 to MAGA KY.\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0estimated<\/a>\u00a0his net worth at $3.8 billion as of August 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n Paulson founded Paulson & Co. in 1994 with $2 million and one employee. He became a household name in finance for executing what author Gregory Zuckerman documented in his book\u00a0The Greatest Trade Ever<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 shorting subprime mortgages ahead of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. His firm earned $15 billion that year, with Paulson personally pocketing roughly $4 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n Paulson served as one of Trump\u2019s top economic advisers during the 2016 campaign and\u00a0hosted<\/a>\u00a0a record-breaking fundraiser on April 6, 2024 at his Palm Beach mansion \u2014 the \u201cInaugural Leadership Dinner\u201d \u2014 that raised $50.5 million for Trump\u2019s presidential campaign, which Trump\u00a0called<\/a>\u00a0\u201cthe biggest night in Fund Raising of ALL TIME.\u201d Paulson himself stated: \u201cThis sold-out event has raised the most in a single political fundraiser in history.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Paulson\u2019s Israel-focused philanthropy has grown substantially in recent years. In 2023 he committed $27 million to Hebrew University of Jerusalem to build the Paulson Bar-El Building for Computer Science and Engineering, and in January 2026 his foundation\u00a0added another $19 million<\/a>, bringing his total commitment to Hebrew University to\u00a0$46 million<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 one of the largest donations the university has ever received. Hebrew University awarded Paulson an honorary doctorate in June 2024 in recognition of his philanthropic contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n The most politically charged element of Massie\u2019s campaign involves the late Jewish sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Paulson\u2019s name\u00a0appears<\/a>\u00a0in Epstein\u2019s black book. In a September 2025 Newsmax interview, Massie\u00a0named<\/a>\u00a0Paulson directly: \u201cHe\u2019s a hedge fund manager and a major donor to the Republican Party, a major donor to the speaker of the House, a major donor to the president\u2019s campaign, and he\u2019s in Epstein\u2019s black book.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Miriam Adelson<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Miriam Adelson, born October 10, 1945, in Tel Aviv during the British Mandate, contributed $750,000 via the Preserve America PAC, of which she is the primary funder. Bloomberg\u2019s Billionaires Index puts her net worth at approximately\u00a0$40 billion<\/a>, while\u00a0Forbes estimates $32\u201335 billion<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Born Miriam Farbstein to Jewish parents who fled Poland before the Holocaust, she served as a medical officer in the Israeli military before becoming a physician specializing in addiction treatment. She married Sheldon Adelson, the founder of Las Vegas Sands Corp., in 1991 and after his death in January 2021 assumed control of the family\u2019s business and philanthropic empire, including majority ownership of the Dallas Mavericks.<\/span><\/p>\n The Adelson family has channeled\u00a0more than $600 million<\/a>\u00a0into Trump\u2019s three presidential campaigns and other Republican causes since 2015. In 2024 alone, Miriam contributed $106 million to\u00a0Preserve America<\/a>, her pro-Trump super PAC, eclipsing even the $75 million contributed by Elon Musk to his own PAC. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson were jointly instrumental in pushing Trump to\u00a0move<\/a>\u00a0the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and to\u00a0recognize<\/a>\u00a0Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights during his first term.<\/span><\/p>\n At a White House Hanukkah reception on December 16, 2025, Adelson took the podium and publicly encouraged Trump to seek a third term \u2014 a move barred by the 22nd Amendment. She told the crowd she had spoken with attorney Alan Dershowitz about the constitutional question and concluded, \u201cWe can do it, think about it.\u201d Trump then announced to the crowd that Adelson had\u00a0promised<\/a>\u00a0\u201canother $250 million\u201d if he runs again in 2028, prompting chants of \u201cFour more years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The campaign against Massie represents a broader pattern of pro-Israel donor networks targeting anti-war voices within the Republican Party. Massie has been\u00a0targeted<\/a>\u00a0primarily for opposing U.S. military aid to Israel, voting against Trump\u2019s reconciliation bill, and leading the push for full release of the Epstein files.<\/span><\/p>\n This is not the first time Massie has faced this pressure. In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC\u2019s United Democracy Project\u00a0launched<\/a>\u00a0an ad campaign against him, announcing an initial $300,000 TV buy on Fox affiliates statewide. UDP spokesperson Patrick Dorton declared the group was \u201cshining a spotlight on Tom Massie\u2019s atrocious anti-Israel record.\u201d Massie pushed back, telling supporters that \u201cthe AIPAC super PAC just bought $300,000 of ads against me because I am often the lone Republican for freedom of speech, against foreign aid, and opposed to wars in the Middle East.\u201d FEC filings\u00a0reviewed<\/a>\u00a0by The Intercept placed UDP\u2019s total verified expenditure against Massie at approximately $167,000. Voters were unmoved: Massie\u00a0won<\/a>\u00a0his May 2024 primary with roughly 76 percent of the vote, defeating two challengers and declaring on election night, \u201cAIPAC, your smear campaign on this American has backfired.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n May 19, 2026 will deliver the most honest test we have seen. Israel\u2019s ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, which the entire world saw via livestream, may have finally produced a growing anti-Zionist current among Republican voters in the United States. The question is whether the growing anti-Zionist sentiment can stand against Jewish billionaire money. Should Massie lose, the defeat will expose a brutal truth: American politics functions as a Jewish oligarch playground where elections are mere theater.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
