The Intercept - We need your help to expose AIPAC

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee was the number one biggest outside spender in the Democratic primaries this cycle, defeating two of the only members of Congress who oppose Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

But the full story of AIPAC’s role in this election is still unfolding — and our team is tracking down every dollar AIPAC has spent, where it came from, and what they’re hoping to get in return for their largesse.

This is our most ambitious reporting project yet on AIPAC, a subject other outlets simply won’t touch. We set a goal of raising $35,000 for this project, and your donations are absolutely vital to make this reporting possible.

Will you donate $5 to help provide the support we need to publish these findings and make sure they get the attention they deserve?

Polls show that a majority of Americans oppose sending tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, and yet the billions continue to flow.

One key reason for this disconnect is AIPAC.

Every member of Congress knows that if they question or challenge the U.S. blank check support for Israel, they will face an avalanche of spending from AIPAC in their next election. (Suffice it to say, there is no remotely comparable lobbying force on the pro-peace or Palestinian side.)

Our senior politics reporter is crunching the numbers on AIPAC’s spending this election cycle, and your donations will help get this investigation across the finish line — while we continue all our other vital reporting.

Will you contribute $5 to help complete this ambitious reporting project and publish our findings before Election Day?
