    Sheldon Gary Adelson (August 4, 1933 – January 11, 2021) was an American businessman,[2] investor, political donor, and philanthropist.[3][4][5] He was the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which owns the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited, which operated The Venetian Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center before selling the properties in early 2022.[6] He owned the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom, the Israeli weekly newspaper Makor Rishon, and the American daily newspaper the Las Vegas Review-Journal.[7][8]

    Adelson created the Adelson Foundation in 2007, a private charity focusing on healthcare and support of Israel and the Jewish people. He was a major contributor to Republican Party candidates[9][10] and was often dubbed a “kingmaker” due to the size and frequency of his donations.[11][12] He and his wife Miriam Adelson were Donald Trump’s largest donors, providing the largest donation to Trump’s 2016 campaign, his presidential inauguration, his defense fund against the Mueller investigation into Russian interference, and the 2020 campaign.[13][14][15][16][17][18] He was also a major backer of Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[19]

    In 2020, Forbes listed his net worth as US$29.8 billion.[20]

    He died in 2021

      If anybody reading this is voting against Biden because of Palestine (effectively a vote for trump under fptp) these are trumps #1 fans and bill payers

      Pro trump is not pro Palestine.

        This article should make it even more patently clear to everyone that the situation in Palestine would get much worse if Trump wins.

        A vote for Biden is also a vote for israel.

        Have you already forgotten that under Biden israel committed the largest land theft in the West Bank in a long time?

        Israel announces largest West Bank land seizure since 1993 during Blinken visit

          That’s like saying Trump gets credit for everything that happened under his term even if somebody else did it, like the vaccine developed in Germany getting first to market

          But no, that’s not how it works, unless you expect Biden to go in with the US military and declare war on Israel’s government

            I expect Biden to put sanctions on israel and withold weapons when they violate war crimes.

            Biden has also not undone Trumps move of moving the israeli embassy onto stolen land meaning Biden is on board with it.

            Trump gets credit for the Zionism during his term, Biden gets credit for his own Zionism. Or need you be reminded that Biden openly calls himself a Zionist?

              Are you expecting Biden to send the US military to enforce actions like that? How else will he make it happen on ground controlled by Israeli security forces without permission from Israel?

              He canceled the previous veto policy;

              Has in fact already withheld weapons (yeah it should’ve been done earlier, but Trump is the kind of person who’d make a point of supplying more).

              GOP, Trump’s party, want to enforce continued weapon sales to Israel and prevent Biden from halting it

                Mhhh yes, Biden is “witholding weapons”

                US-made munitions used in deadly strike on Rafah tent camp, CNN analysis shows

                We can thank Genocide Joe for israel bombing refugee tent camps. How did the investigation of that bombing turn out again? Israel definitely isn’t committing war crimes according the Genocide Joe right? Because that would invoke Leahy law and prevent arms exports.

                Thank you for linking the most minute of irrelevant details where Biden makes a symbolic gesture while supporting Genocide. He sanctions 4 colonists and some random illegal colonies in the west bank instead of the terror government that is responsible for those colonies to begin with. I haven’t read what happened to the colony sanctions but those 4 colonists already had their sanctions removed.

                You are so focused on the details in rhetoric that you fail to observe both parties being the exact same in actions.

If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
