The Zionist lobby "AIPAC"... and the challenge of confronting it
Before and after October 7, the United States of America remained steadfast in its steadfast support for Israel, denying its genocide and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. This complete American adoption of Israel in politics, weapons, and money is what prompted its President Biden to bypass Congress at least twice, and to supply the occupation with various types of weapons during its recent aggression against the Gaza Strip, and this necessarily prompts us to shed light on the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. Committee (AIPAC), which during the months of the war mobilized its political, financial, and human resources and interests, to maintain a firm American line facing the millennium demonstrations taking place in state capitals, and in front of the Capitol for the first time in support of Palestine.
(The Committee - AIPAC) was established in 1954 to represent the pressure lobby used by the Jews of the United States of America and their supporters in order to provide support for Israel in all its forms, in parallel with the pressure on the American administration and other American institutions, in a way that deepens the alliance with Israel and prevents any other alliances that might cause any harm. A form of harm to the occupying state, as well as preventing the US Congress from issuing legislation that affects the latter, even to a small extent, as this “committee” constitutes an impenetrable barrier and a fortified barrier to the issuance of such laws, in response to demonstrations or public demands usually led by progressive American figures in support of Palestine. .
This "committee" has always emphasized that the presence of Israel - as the protector of democracy in the Middle East!!! - is very important to protect vital American interests in this region, and to confront all forms of "terrorism" in the world, as well as to prevent dangers that could occur in This important region, and the Committee has always pressed for more financial support, by deepening economic relations between the United States and Israel by: increasing support through loans, then converting these loans into donations, all the way to canceling them. Moreover, Jews constitute the largest percentage of AIPAC members, which has a network of relationships that includes hundreds of institutions and a large number of wealthy Jewish and non-Jewish donors, and sees itself as the spokesman for Jewish groups in the United States. Such as politicians, organizations, pressure groups, media, research and thinking centers, and students.
AIPAC woos members of Congress through private visits and invites them to meetings, celebrations, and tables. It approaches the heads of committees working within Congress in order to arrange and organize ballots on resolutions and bills. The committee does not allocate its support to one party over another, whether Democrats or Republicans. Rather, you stand with those who stand with Israel! President Joe Biden is considered the member of the Senate who received the most financial support from donors supporting Israel, between (1990 - 2009) during his membership (seven terms), before he became Vice President Barack Obama. AIPAC is also considered the largest donor to Democratic and Republican leaders and members alike, funds (through sponsored foundations) trips of members of Congress to the “Zionist state,” makes donations to political and cultural groups in the United States to consolidate false “information” about Israel, and Members of Congress from both the Republican and Democratic parties maintain their firm positions on the side of the occupying state.
As for the darkest side of AIPAC’s illegitimate relationship with the US Congress, it is represented by its constant threat to representatives and members who sympathize with the Palestinian cause, and by running advertising campaigns against them and against progressive candidates in the Democratic and Republican Party primaries, in favor of candidates more supportive of Israel, and getting rid of names. Known for its advocacy for the Palestinian cause, activating the same with influencers around the world, targeting the awareness of American youth, and trying to strengthen the Zionist narrative before and after October 7, especially after the results of an American poll showed that more than half of them believe that the solution lies in the dismantling of Israel and the return of Every Jew to his country of origin!
We do not deny the ingenuity of AIPAC and its sisters and their enormous ability to collect and spend money to support Israel, but we believe that this octopus “lobby” is going through an “identity crisis,” and that its life has become complicated, especially after a coalition of progressive interest groups launched an initiative called “Reject AIPAC.” In an attempt to confront the $100 million that AIPAC is expected to spend to defeat congressional candidates who denounced the suffering of civilians in the war on the Gaza Strip, the question remains: When will we establish and establish a “committee” to confront the “AIPAC Committee,” especially after the Palestinian issue has taken over more Among the areas of support in American public opinion, and even international as well. This is one of the most prominent challenges facing us!
