    For people like me AIPAC: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies to the legislative and executive branches of the United States. One of several pro-Israel lobbying organizations in the United States, AIPAC states that it has over 100,000 members, 17 regional offices, and “a vast pool of donors”.

    the article should be shortened down to this one paragraph to understand why they’re just sitting there and letting it happen; tldr, the black caucus is a center right organization that’s friendly right leaning causes like aipac:

    More centrist CBC members and their political allies have been involved in combatting progressive gains in the Democratic Party. In June 2021, Jeffries, along with Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Terri Sewell, D-Ala., another recipient of AIPAC cash, launched Team Blue PAC to protect Democratic members facing primary challenges from their left. And last June, Democratic operatives closely aligned with CBC leaders launched a new dark-money group to fend off primary challengers.

    I wonder why people scream about Russian interference but stay silent on AIPAC. What are the differences?
