Our most ambitious investigation into AIPAC yet

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has been on a ruthless campaign this year, unseating two of the Democrats in Congress brave enough to challenge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocidal war on Gaza.




The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has been on a ruthless campaign this year, unseating two of the Democrats in Congress brave enough to challenge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Your support has enabled us to report doggedly on these primary battles, exposing how the pro-Israel lobby has used misleading tactics to distract voters from its increasingly unpopular agenda.

But it’s time for a national reckoning about AIPAC’s poisonous influence on both political parties. Our senior politics reporter has been hard at work crunching the numbers on every dollar AIPAC has spent this election cycle to better understand the scope of its interference.

This is our most ambitious reporting project yet on AIPAC, a subject other outlets simply won’t touch. We need your help to get it across the finish line — and make sure it gets the attention it deserves, with a visual presentation that will make the political reality clear to anyone who sees it.

We’re aiming to raise $35,000 for this project in the next two weeks so we can publish our findings before Election Day. Can you contribute $5?
