Their Aims “AIPAC empowers pro-Israel activists across all ages, religions and races to be politically engaged and build relationships with members of Congress from both sides of the aisle to promote the U.S.-Israel relationship.” Maintain American foreign aid towards Israel,

Their history The American Israel Public Affairs Committee was founded in 1951 by Isaiah L. “Si” Kenen Developed the support and finances to sway congressional votes in the 1970’s, along with Carter’s presidency being considered the main reason for AIPAC’s influence on American attitudes towards the Middle East. 1980’s their grassroots campaigning was significantly built up and developed.

Type Possibly one of the most insider groups, they represent the views and wishes of the Jewish population of Israel. Have a lot of support in congress, typically from Republican Jews In 2005, Lawrence Franklin, a Pentagon analyst pleaded guilty to espionage charges of passing US government secrets to AIPAC policy director Steven Rosen and AIPAC senior Iran analyst Keith Weissman Membership group- technically a group rights group, however it has its own category in reality, as they are there to influence American decisions on their foreign policy towards the Israeli.

Membership 100,000 members but very influential high-profile Jews amongst them Annual budget of $60 million A LOT OF POWER

Methods Endorsing candidates, lobbying the government by abusing their insider status, but direct action is avoided due to the high profile members they possess.
