no doubt AIPAC and ADL have a hold of US politics. however, it's a very fragile hold. people are waking up and primarying out candidates that take AIPAC cash.

and taking AIPAC money for campaign funds is useless if it makes you unelectable.

    Don't forget CUFI. These people are genuinely nuts. My old church had a CUFI pastor before I realized he was intentionally misreading the bible to promote his agenda. Wild stuff.

    AIPAC has some tacticians among them. They know the acronym itself is hated and mistrusted. But, it's very common and possible for reasonable people to see a convincing political ad, and not ever realize it was funded by AIPAC indirectly.

    technically, AIPAC doesn't give anyone campaign funds or political donations. they have clever legal ways around lots of laws.

    their modus operandi is to connect politicians looking for bribes with rich individual who will bribe them on AIPAC's behalf. so it's never a foreign interest group bringing politicians.
