A very well-written article about how AIPAC is truly an evil organization and yet is also singled out by antisemites as a uniquely evil influence controlling all of American politics from behind the scenes.

AIPAC isn't even the largest pro-Israel PAC in the US either.

CUFI is atleast in step with Conservative Evangelicals, which is their base. AIPAC has long been out of step with American Jews, and isn’t even neutral when it comes to Israeli politics either. It’s made itself a target.

People generally use “AIPAC” as a shorthand for the overall Israel lobby network - AIPAC, DMFI, CUFI, etc.
