I'll throw occasional posts out highlighting some of the stronger interest groups in politics right now - those that are in the best position to shape and coordinate the activities of Congress and the executive branch. We'll begin with AIPAC - the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee - which was founded in 1951 and has emerged as a driving force in strengthening American support for Israel.
Here are a few stories on the group's attempt to influence America's stanch towards Syria:
- Lobbying Group for Israel to Press Congress on Syria.
- Israel Lobby silent on Syria.
- Pro-Israel Lobby finds longtime supporters defect on Syria.
