How can we stop AIPAC?

Can you track this person?

We are only able to track campaign contributions and independent expenditures by the Israel lobby groups. We cannot provide any data on funds provided to non-elected officials.

Send us a message to suggest tracking for congressional and presidential candidates.

Why do some members of Congress receive such small amounts from the Israel lobby?

When you see smaller Israel lobby totals for Congressmembers who vote in line with the lobby, you've got to zoom out and think of the bigger picture. These congressmembers have completed their Israel position papers and have received the lobby's approval. AIPAC and their allies will be happy to pump tons of campaign cash to them if they face a serious challenge, or if they don't stay in line, the lobby will be happy to fund a challenger to knock them out of Congress.

Do U.S. taxpayers pay for Israel’s weapons?

Yes. The US provides Israel at a minimum $3.3B in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants (non-repayable) and $500M for cooperative programs annually. The US also supplements this aid with additional military aid such as in 2024 when the U.S. approved an additional $14.5B to Israel.

The $3.3 billion FMF grant is used in part (75%) by Israel to purchase US weapons, with the rest (25%) set aside for Israel to purchase Israeli weapons and parts.

What’s up with J Street?

J Street is not an automatic disqualifier for us due to their inconsistencies in rhetoric and policy. We evaluate candidates based on lobby contributions and voting record on Israel-Palestine issues.
