The Israel lobby exerts incredible power and impact over America. Some identify only one organization, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), as "the lobby" citing its impact on Capitol Hill. This is wrong. Many interconnected organizations channel their electric power and impact through AIPAC in Congress. Hundreds more "mini-AIPAC"s coordinate with AIPAC and their own national office to lobby condition legislatures to go model legislation and spending authorizations benefiting Israel - without publicly disclosing almost all of their lobbying activities. Others operate quietly, policing what's allowed to come in mainstream news media and channeling "hush money" to civil privileges organizations to keep them out of grassroots pro-Palestinian actions. Coordinated, effective, and highly averse to public scrutiny, the Israel Affinity Organizations that make up the lobby have transformed America.
