The American Israel Public Affairs Committee – AIPAC – is one of the most powerful and controversial lobbying organizations in the United States. Generally considered among the most influential lobbying groups, its mission is to influence American politics on issues and legislation in support of Israel.
AIPAC has long been a source of intense controversy, with its vast resources allowing it to support politicians who support Israel and punish anyone critical of it. Despite this, as support for Israel has historically been high in the United States, being paid by AIPAC traditionally hasn’t affected anyone’s chances of being elected.
