The American Israel Public Affairs Committee was the biggest outside spender in Democratic Party primaries this cycle, and in October, The Intercept published a blockbuster story tracking down every last dollar it spent. Our analysis documented in painstaking detail how AIPAC money helped defeat two of the only members of Congress to oppose Israel’s war on Gaza — and thereby safeguard Israel’s endless supply of U.S. weapons, despite growing public opposition. But the full story of AIPAC’s influence is still unfolding, and The Intercept is still on the beat. Since the election, AIPAC’s lobbyists have turned their attention to Capitol Hill, where they are now seeking to maximize the return on the tens of millions of dollars they invested in campaign spending this year. AIPAC is one of the most influential lobbying groups in Washington — but this is a story most mainstream news outlets simply won’t touch. The Intercept is aiming to raise $625,000 by the end of the year to help ensure we have the resources to continue our ongoing reporting on AIPAC and Israel’s war on Gaza in 2025. Will you make a year-end donation of $5 to The Intercept? If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: In response to our reporting, AIPAC lashed out, saying, “The Intercept is a rabid anti-Israel fringe publication that takes every opportunity to attack supporters of Israel.” But we’re not afraid to make powerful enemies, and we’re certainly not intimidated by AIPAC’s name-calling. Thank you,
The Intercept team
