2 / 2 AIPAC will fund / support campaigns already sympathetic to Israel. The electorate have the choice to vote for that pro-Israel candidate or not (which they often do). Leftists despise that majority of the electorate are pro-Israel so they try to scapegoat 'shady jewish money controlling govt'

1 / 2 No-one is saying AIPAC doesn't have influence but it's clearly overstated. Not only does it not come near other lobbying groups (or even foreign lobbying interests like Saudi Arabia / Qatar etc) - but it is the only lobby group that is talked about as if it has the power to sway all elections
