There are ~9 Senators and 26 House representatives who are Jewish. There is only 1 Palestinian, and as the article pointed out, many from the pro-Israel faction are vying to have her expelled from congress. Further, in the US, nearly every presidential candidate or prominent politician has staunchly taken the side of Israel, reiterating their 'right to defend' whenever the mass casualties of Gaza are brought up. Many in Biden's admin have given interviews saying this sentiment as well.
So while I'm sure your statistics are correct, I think it's a misnomer to say that there is more anti-Israel propoganda or pro-Israel or anti-Palestinian, etc. It's a moot point. The most clear point to me is that most gov't officials are supporting Israel's war no matter what.
