US midterms put pro-Israel powerhouse AIPAC on defensive
Verified: 2 outlets in 2 countries have reported this story since Nov 11, 1 of them from the United States.
For years, the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC was a US political juggernaut, but deepening voter disillusion over US-Israeli ties and wins by openly Israel-skeptic candidates in last week's midterm elections have left it reeling. Candidates of all stripes long courted the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's support. But what was once an asset has become a liability in many races, as favorable opinions of Israel plummet over civilian deaths in Gaza and the costly Iran war.
