AIPAC's Massive Election Spending Draws Praise and Backlash
Original: AIPAC Is Spending Millions to Elect Friends. It’s Also Making Enemies.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is pouring millions of dollars into US congressional races to support candidates aligned with its positions, particularly on Israel policy. The spending has succeeded in helping favored candidates win, but it has also fueled criticism and resentment among progressives and other opponents, who accuse the lobby of distorting Democratic primaries and silencing dissent on Israel.
Why now: Ongoing US election campaigns have put AIPAC's record-breaking political spending and its political consequences in the spotlight.
