1. Israel's lobbies:
Jews in America have an official lobby and several unofficial lobbies. Groups of voters and a part of America's public opinion, such as a lobby, have established their own policies on the basis of the interests of Israel. Official Israel's lobby in the United States is called America- Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). And informal lobbies are also 1. Bnai brich and Hadash.A) Non-official Israeli lobbies:
Jews in America, among racial and religious minorities in the country, dedicate the highest rate of participation in elections. They have a key role in multiple elections, and despite their population of six million people (2/3 percent of the total population of America) their participation rate in the elections is 89%. Another point worth noting is that the Jews have settled in twelve key states of the country, and their vote is crucial in presidential elections and the electoral committee, because the 12 states have the most electoral votes and the number of them will suffice in victory of a candidate in the presidential election. As a result, Israel has a powerful and influential group of voters in the United States. The mentioned voting group has been able to increase their influence through alliances with non-Jews over recent years. Power and influence of the Israel lobby has led to many eager people who want to enter the Congress or the White House, seek for the support of the Israeli lobby, especially in the states of the Northeast and California. As a result, such candidates are always seeking to protect the interests of Jewish communities inside and outside of the United States during their election campaign. Israel's lobby also provides a part of the candidates' advertising costs.B) Official Israeli lobby:
The most influential religious minority in America's structure is the Jews, so that they have 281 organizations in America's structure. America-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is one of the most important Jewish Lobbies in America among 281 organizations and also 250 regional Unions, which began its activities in 1950s and is now as the mother of all Jewish organizations in the United States, and has 50,000 members from 50 countries. The Committee is active in 200 universities worldwide, and general corners of policy outline of this powerful lobby in America are to protect Israel, educating Congress about the Israel – America's relations, holding about 200 meetings each year with members of America Congress, adopting over one hundred bills in favor of Israel in America Congress, preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear technology, spying and providing intelligence to Israel.(It should be noted that recently the organization has announced that Secretary of America, Condoleezza Rice, has given national defense information to the disposal of the group). Holding the conference by AIPAC is one of the most important programs and is usually done and always presidents of America and the Zionist regime's prime minister are main speakers of it. In a speech in year 83 in AIPAC, Bush refers to free and prosperous and secure Israel which is aspiration of the people of the United States, and according to the Iranian nuclear threat, he has known the need for organizations such as AIPAC necessary. And with meetings the possibility of accommodating policies of America and Israel is high, for example AIPAC's Strategy in 2002-2003 conference was to attract financial support from America to Israel, undermining the PA, setting Syria as an axis of evil, setting Israel as the first country in the war against terrorism and ensuring the security of Israel against threats from Iran and Iraq.
