What is AIPAC?
Founded in 1963, AIPAC is the most powerful pro-Israel lobbying group in the United States. While it has long had influence over U.S. government policy toward Israel, the group announced in 2022 that it would create an affiliated super PAC that would participate directly in the election. In his short existence AIPAC has invested tens of millions of dollars in its efforts to defeat progressive, anti-Israel candidates.
Since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas, which has left more than 1,200 Israelis and more than 2,000 Palestinians dead, AIPAC has launched a concerted effort to ensure that Israel continues to receive support from the US government. As international courts, lawyers and human rights organizations criticize Israel’s retaliatory attack on Gaza as a blatant violation of human rights and even potential genocide, AIPAC continues to pressure lawmakers to support the country’s political and military support.
On its website, the group has an entire resource center dedicated to coverage of the Israel-Gaza war. The site has call centers and email to make it easier for visitors to contact lawmakersSocial media toolkits and lists of pro-Israel media, influencers and reporters.
