Episode Details

What exactly is AIPAC, and how did a lobbying organization become one of the most influential voices in American foreign policy? In this episode, we unpack the story of AIPAC—the American Israel Public Affairs Committee—from its origins to its powerful role shaping U.S.–Israel relations today. We'll explore how it operates, why it has such strong bipartisan support, and why it also draws criticism from across the political spectrum. Because understanding AIPAC isn't just about one organization—it's about power, politics, and how advocacy shapes the decisions that ripple across the world.
