Time To Get AIPAC And All Dirty Money Out Of Politics

June 26, 2026 Dahj Voytek, People's World. Organize! AIPAC, Elections, Money in Politics, Texas

In 2026, with the rising costs of food, rent, and healthcare in the United States, one might ask: Where are our tax dollars going? Well, since World War II, Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. Foreign assistance from 1940 to 2026, the United States Congress has sent an estimated $174 Billion dollars to Israel for military spending. In 2016, the U.S. Government pledged to give Israel another $38 billion in military spending over the next 10 years. As if sending away billions of taxpayer dollars annually wasn’t enough, Israel also drives a vast majority of funds to the occupation using the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, otherwise known as AIPAC.

Genocide, The Non Profit Industrial Complex And The Democratic Party

June 8, 2026 Russell Mokhiber, Counter Punch. Strategize! AIPAC, Doctors, Genocide, Israel, nonprofit industrial complex, Washington DC

Over the past couple of years, a hybrid type of activist has emerged in Washington, D.C. To get a paycheck and pay the bills, they toil away inside the non-profit industrial complex – made up of non-profit organizations generally aligned with the Democratic Party. Then they have side gigs, where they go on Substack and podcasts and rip away at the beast, without mentioning their employment with the public interest group in question. In the May/June 2026 edition of the Capitol Hill Citizen, we interviewed one of these public interest warriors – Aaron Regunberg. During the day, Regunberg works on climate change for Public Citizen.

AIPAC ‘Hides’ Support For Democratic Candidates

May 31, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! AIPAC, Congress, Democrats, Elections, Transparency

The pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC has begun hiding its involvement in funding political campaigns for candidates running for public office in the US, as support for Israel becomes increasingly toxic among Democratic voters, Haaretz reported on 31 May. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has traditionally boasted of its success in helping elect candidates for Congress and the Senate who are committed to supporting Israel, including voting to provide it billions in US military aid each year. However, as Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and wage war on Lebanon and Iran, US voters are beginning to view Israel and its lobby in the US in an increasingly negative light.

Inside The Israel Lobby’s Lesser-Known Tool For Influencing Congress

December 10, 2025 Andrew Ancheta, Mondoweiss. Educate! AIPAC, Congress, Israel, Lobbyists

While AIPAC has attracted increased scrutiny for its influence on national elections, the Israel lobby also has another route to political influence: travel. Each year, private donors invite large contingents of American politicians on free tours of the Holy Land, making Israel the largest international destination for paid congressional travel. Israel accounted for over a quarter of the international gift travel so far this year. House members and their staff accepted 156 invitations to Israel during the first nine months of 2025, significantly exceeding the 117 trips made in the entire previous year.

Rubio, Cuba And The Zionist Model

May 27, 2025 Lawrence Davidson, Consortium News. Educate! AIPAC, Constitution, Cuba, Department of State, Lobbying, Marco Rubio

Marco Rubio has turned into one of President Donald Trump’s “go to” guys. Appointed secretary of state at the beginning of Trump’s second term, and recently appointed acting national security adviser, he has proven effective in translating Trumpian goals into policy practices. It is not that difficult for Rubio because he shares many of those same biases. For instance, a seemingly absolute belief that the Israelis must be supported even as they lay waste to humanitarian principles and international law. To this end, as secretary of state, Rubio dedicated himself to revamping the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Why?

Powerlessness

October 8, 2024 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. Educate! AIPAC, Biden administration, Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Palestine

Let us begin with some facts of the cold, hard kind concerning conditions in Gaza and the West Bank after a year of terrorist Israel’s daily assaults on the Palestinian populations in both places. These statistics derive from a World Bank report issued this month, “Impacts of the Conflict in the Middle East on the Palestinian Economy.” They cover conditions through March; we can confidently conclude things have since worsened. “Eleven months into the conflict in the Middle East, the Palestinian territories are nearing economic freefall, amidst a historic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,” the report begins.

Jamaal Bowman, AIPAC, Phony Progressives, And Black Misleadership

June 27, 2024 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! AIPAC, Black misleadership, Democratic Party, Israel, Jamaal Bowman, Palestine, Progressive, The Squad

It is clear that Congressional Black Congress Member Jamaal Bowman succumbed to the power of the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) and the $20 million it raised for his primary opponent, George Latimer. But perhaps that analysis is too obvious and lets Bowman off the hook for his own political demise. Black Agenda Report had previously reported on the shallow nature of Bowman’s political appeal. He is a self-described “progressive” and a member of the Squad, a group of pretend leftists who give the Democratic Party leadership cover to cut deals with republicans, corporate interests, and the military industrial complex.

A Maryland House Race Shows How Not To Cover AIPAC

June 12, 2024 Pete Tucker, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! AIPAC, Elections, Israel, Maryland, Money in Politics

The biggest outside spender in the 2022 Democratic primaries was an unlikely group: the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. This year, AIPAC—a group backed by Republican mega-donors that is devoted to maintaining strong US support for the far-right government of Israel—is going even bigger, aiming to spend a cool $100 million via its super PAC, the United Democracy Project. If the Koch brothers quietly spent millions to sway Democratic primaries, their chosen candidates would be tarred. Same goes for Big Oil, the NRA and other right-wing special interests. But AIPAC is an exception to this rule.

Jewish Americans Oppose AIPAC’s Intervention In Democratic Party

March 21, 2024 Jewish Americans Opposing AIPAC, Scheer Post. Resist! AIPAC, Democratic Party, Elections, Israel, Jewish Americans, Palestine, Politics

We are Jewish Americans who have varying perspectives. We’ve agreed to come together to highlight and oppose the unprecedented and damaging role of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and allied groups in U.S. elections, especially within Democratic Party primaries. We recognize the purpose of AIPAC’s interventions in electoral politics is to defeat any critics of Israeli Government policy and to support candidates who vow unwavering loyalty to Israel, thereby ensuring the United States’ continuing support for all that Israel does, regardless of its violence and illegality.

Blood Money: The Top Ten Politicians Taking The Most Israel Lobby Cash

December 19, 2023 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Educate! AIPAC, Congress, Israel, Israeli Lobby, Palestine

As the Israeli attack on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria intensifies, the U.S. public watch on aghast. A new poll finds that Americans support a permanent ceasefire by a more than 2:1 ratio (including the vast majority of Democrats and a plurality of Republicans). And yet, despite this, only 4% of elected members of the House support even a temporary ceasefire, and the United States continues to veto U.N. resolutions working towards ending the violence. Walter Hixson, a historian concentrating on U.S. foreign relations, told MintPress News: Unfettered support for Israel and the lobby consistently puts the United States at odds with international human rights organizations and the vast majority of nations over Israel’s war crimes and blatant violations of international law. The current U.N. vote on a ceasefire in Gaza [which the U.S. vetoed] is just the latest example.”

Just four days before the South Carolina Primary, about 100 young Jews and allies descended on former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign headquarters and disrupted the Biden campaign’s day-to-day activities for over two hours. Seven young people were arrested when they refused orders by police to stop blockading the elevator entrance, while a large group of supporters occupied the building’s lobby, shared stories, and sang and chanted.

The Ongoing Battle For Palestinian Justice Spans The Globe And Plays Out On Many Fronts

April 3, 2019 By Miko Peled, Mintpressnews.com Educate! AIPAC, Israel, Palestine

Palestinians in Hebron are harassed by Israeli soldiers, their homes are violently taken from them by Israeli settlers, and Palestinian activists in the city, particularly from Youth Against Settlements, are being persecuted and prosecuted by the Palestinian Authority security services. In Salfit, 19-year-old Omar Abu Laila was killed after commiting what was described by Israeli journalist Amira Hass in Haaretz as a “daring” and “courageous” act of resistance against the “masters,” who “rape” the land.

Palestinian Americans Protest Annual AIPAC Meeting

March 26, 2019 By John Zangas, Dcmediagroup.us Resist! AIPAC, Palestine

Washington, DC–Palestinians and supporters gathered at the White House on Sunday afternoon to rebuke the lobby American-Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), for its lopsided influence over U.S. governmental policy. Speakers called out its role in supporting Israeli government policies affecting the Occupied Territories, which they say mimic apartheid policies of the South Africa National Party from 1948 until the 1990s. The protesters voiced opposition to Israeli occupation of Palestinian Territories, the lack of access to basic needs, continued military attacks and incursions into the Gaza Strip, unequal application of law between Israel and the occupied territories, and Israel for denying Palestinians their basic right to return to their land.

Ilhan Omar Under Attack For Telling Truth About Israel Lobby

February 12, 2019 Ali Abunimah, Electronicintifada.net Educate! AIPAC, Israel, Nationalism, Palestine

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under fierce attack from Chelsea Clinton and other Republican and Democratic establishment figures for voicing a fundamental truth: much of Congress is muzzled when it comes to Israel by the powerful lobby group AIPAC. On Sunday, journalist Glenn Greenwald highlighted a news story about how Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy wants to punish Omar, and fellow Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, for their criticisms of Israel.

AIPAC Takes Newly Elected Congress Members, CNN’s Setmayer On Propaganda Trips To Israel

January 7, 2019 Alison Weir, Informationclearinghouse.info Educate! AIPAC, Electoral Politics, Israel, Propaganda

January 03, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - The Israel lobby has been busy taking a wide variety of government officials and opinion makers on fully expense paid trips to Israel this month. The trips cost in the range of $10,000 per person. Six newly elected House members are on a 5-day visit to Israel, a delegation of northern California “progressive leaders” are on a week-long trip, media commentator Tara Setmayer has just returned from such a trip, and a delegation of southern California progressive leaders returned from their trip earlier this month.
