3. Would hazard the guess that the poster is referring to supporters of current IDF activities of contemporary Israel.

The Think Big Super PAC that bought the election for Lasher supports Trump and militant Zionism.

I like Micah Nadler's positions on most issues. Do not think he can be trusted regards AI and supporting the ongoing genocide in and adjacent to Israel.

Micah Lasher

Lasher was an aid and community Laison for Jerry Nadler

He was previously the Director of State Legislative Affairs under New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Chief of Staff of NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, and the Director of Policy for New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

Micah Lasher was Chief of Staff for Eric Schneiderman who "retired and was disbarred because of multiple sexual abuse scandals.

The open seat was occupied by Jerry Nadler.

"Nadler describes himself as a “committed Zionist” and a strong supporter of Israel as a homeland for Jewish people.[60]

Of Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December 2017, Nadler said, "I have long recognized Jerusalem as the historic capital of Israel, and have called for the eventual relocation of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem, the seat of the Israeli government. While President Trump's announcement earlier today rightly acknowledged the unique attachment of the Jewish people to Jerusalem, the timing and circumstances surrounding this decision are deeply worrying."[61]"

The principals of the Think Big Super PAC that provided Lasher the $8 million are Zionists and Trump supporters.

Ben Horowitz

In July 2024, Horowitz announced he will donate to super PACs that support Donald Trump's presidential campaign.[21][24] In October, however, Horowitz announced that he and his wife will be making "significant" donations to groups that support Kamala Harris's campaign, citing their friendship dating back over 10 years.[25] During the first half of 2025, Horowitz donated $3 million to MAGA Inc., a super PAC that supports Donald Trump.[26]

Marc Andreessen

Andreessen endorsed and voted for Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.[107] In 2012, Andreessen donated $100,000 to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.[108][109] During the 2016 primary season, he endorsed Republican candidate Carly Fiorina, but after Fiorina dropped out of the race, Andreessen switched his endorsement to the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, citing the Republican nominee Donald Trump's immigration stance.[110][111]

In July 2024, Andreessen announced he would donate to super PACs that support Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.[112] During the first half of 2025, Andreessen donated $3 million to MAGA Inc., a super PAC that supports Donald Trump.[113]

Andreessen is a mega-donor to the political superPAC and pro-cryptocurrency advocacy group Fairshake.[114] Andreessen came out against president Joe Biden's re-election bid, saying he feared higher taxes on billionaires and stricter regulations on industries he invests in (cryptocurrency and AI).[114] On Joe Rogan's podcast in November 2024, Andreessen claimed that some cryptocurrency users have been unfairly debanked.[115]

While not officially part of Elon Musk's DOGE, Andreessen has been listed as “a key networker for talent recruitment” at the agency, according to The Washington Post.[116][117] He has also shared insight about DOGE's plans in various interviews.[118]
