tification with conservative
Republican causes. There is
also active speculation on
the Hill about internecine
conflict within the group.
Many argue with AIPAC's
politics; almost none chal-
lenge its ability to deliver
the votes in Congress. And
the political reality is that
you don't get that kind of in-
fluence without good con-
nections to the sources. of
political funding.
The feeling here seems to
be that AIPAC doesn't need
to conspire with small PACs
in channeling funds to can-
didates who pass their lit-
mus test on Israel; their
ability to dominate the pro-
Israel agenda, and the rip-
ple effect this causes in
every other group interested
in the politics of American
support for Israel, is more
than enough to get the
message of political clout
across to decision-makers at
every level.
AIPAC, for its part, agrees
that one of its functions is to
supply information on the
voting records of various
legislators. "We are an im-
portant information
resource," an AIPAC
spokesperson said. "One of
our functions is to provide
information to AIPAC
members nationwide who
are interested in how their
representatives vote on mat-
ters that concern Israel.
There is nothing the least
bit sinister about this."
Hill insiders are . all too
well aware that the line bet-
ween influence and collu-
sion can be a blurry one. The
definitions are essentially
political; what looks like
successful lobbying to one
side looks like conspiracy to
the other.
And there is general
agreement among Jewish
activists here that the bias
is particularly strong for
political groups identified
with Jewish causes. When
the American Medical
Association flexes its con-
siderable muscle on the Hill
over an issue like hospital
cost containment, you don't
hear much talk about collu-
sion, even though the
AMA's motivation is
generally not unrelated to
the economic self-interest of
its members. AIPAC, whose
members do not have an
economic stake in the issue
that defines the group's ex-
istence, is frequently viewed
in more sinister terms for
doing the same kinds of
things.
