Why the Convoy:

Exposing the true cost of foreign influence

While millions of American families struggle with the rising costs of housing, gas, healthcare, and basic groceries, billions of U.S. tax dollars continue to flow to Israel. Since October 2023 alone, the federal government has delivered between $16.3 billion and $21.7 billion in supplemental military aid on top of an annual baseline of $3.8 billion. At the same time, over 27 million Americans remain completely uninsured, carrying more than $220 billion in collective medical debt. 

Convoy organizers point out that Israeli citizens benefit from state-guaranteed universal healthcare and subsidized social programs funded by the U.S., while American taxpayers are told their own government cannot afford basic domestic safety nets. 

The scope of foreign entanglement extends far beyond Washington and deep into local, state and municipal governments. Public pension funds and city treasuries across the nation currently hold at least $1.6 billion in foreign Israel bonds, risking American public retirement dollars while cities face severe local infrastructure crises. Furthermore, private tax-exempt charities funnel over $220 million into illegal Israeli settlement operations, a practice indirectly subsidized by every U.S. taxpayer through the federal tax code. To shield financial arrangements with Israel from public debate, laws in 35 to 38 states now restrict government contractors from taking political stances that counter the Israeli state, effectively stripping away the First Amendment free speech rights from local American business owners.

This domestic institutional grip is sustained by massive, Israeli state-funded public relations campaigns—known as "hasbara"—which exploded into a $700 million-plus operations budget in 2026. More recently, churches across the U.S. are targeted by an Israeli “geofencing” PR campaign spending ~$4.1 million to secretly target American churchgoers and Christian college students with propaganda on their mobile phones. Targeted markets include  California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Texas–all of which the Convoy will visit. This propaganda project floods American social media feeds, buys targeted media placements, and finances all-expenses-paid trips for American politicians, faith leaders and influencers.
