We explore how the leading pro-Israel lobby works to maintain America's unconditional, multi-billion dollar support for Israel.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has poured more than $100 million into American political campaigns this year, aiming to silence pro-Palestinian voices in Congress and preserve the status quo.

As Israel’s war on Gaza continues unabated, we examine AIPAC’s role in shaping American policy.
