The billionaire couple — Stewart & “Let Them Eat Cake” Lynda Resnick — who hoard California’s water also have funded Israel and have gone as far as pushing for war with Iran so they can maintain a monopoly on the pistachio industry.
Based on tax records from their foundation, they’ve given anywhere from $500,000 to $200,000 to the Israeli military every year, with most of it funneled through an outfit called the American Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces.1 Adding it all up comes to millions of dollars–$2.4 million just between 2015 and 2022, according to MROnline. They’re also on the board of trustees for AIPAC.
They have backed politicians and lobbies that take hardline positions on Iran–whether it’s through supporting sanctions, increasing foreign tariffs on, or arguing for attacks and straight up war.
Furthermore, years ago they were accused of having a workforce that was nearly 100% comprised of illegal immigrants who were allegedly grossly underpaid and overworked, according to Earth Island.
Also, Lynda reportedly wrote a vanity essay about their $14 million Beverly Hills mansion where she said wrote it’s “topped off on all four sides with rows of balustrades through which a queen might peek out and utter, ‘Let them eat cake.’”
Recently, they have cried antisemitism over criticism of them hoarding California’s water supply.
These people are pure evil — watch the water!
