AIPAC IS WELL FUNDED ANTI-DEMOCRACY PROMOTING THE KILLING OF 

GAZANS THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED!

Americans now oppose Israel’s war on Gaza by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, according to the latest Gallup poll. Among Democratic voters, opposition sits at a whopping 83 percent. And yet Israel continues to carry out its genocidal war with tens of billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars and an uninterrupted flow of American guns, bombs, and bullets. How is that possible? The answer begins with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobbying powerhouse. AIPAC has become the No. 1 biggest outside spender in Democratic Party primaries, allocating $100 million in 2024 alone to attack members of Congress who spoke out for Palestinian human rights. Their message: If you dare to criticize Israel, we will bury you. But mainstream news outlets simply won’t touch the story of AIPAC’s enormous clout, allowing AIPAC to fly under the radar and escape the kind of scrutiny that other big-money special interests face. That’s where The Intercept comes in. We documented every dollar AIPAC spent during the 2024 campaign in painstaking detail across 389 total races. Now, we’re tracking their lobbying activities on Capitol Hill to expose how the group leverages their massive campaign spending to dictate how members of Congress vote.

And yet just last week, the Senate overwhelmingly defeated a pair of resolutions to block a new $675 million weapons shipment to Israel — with barely half of Democratic senators willing to defy AIPAC and vote to stop the deal. In fact, The Intercept recently reported that AIPAC is already gearing up to go after its next set of targets, polling on potential primary challenges to Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Summer Lee, D-Pa., two prominent critics of Israeli policy in the House. With Gaza in the grip of a manmade famine resulting from Israel’s six-month blockade on food and humanitarian aid, The Intercept is doubling down on our efforts to follow the money and expose AIPAC. But as a nonprofit, reader-supported news site, we rely on donations to make this work possible. Will you donate $5 to help support our ongoing investigative reporting to expose AIPAC?
