It should be called "ALPAC", not "AIPAC".

That is, the "American Likud Political Action Committee"

AIPAC does not support Israel...only the Likud Party and the Israeli far right.

AIPAC works against peace, against reconciliation, against treating the Palestinians as human beings, and against any forms of progressive, humane, democratic change within Israel itself. AIPAC wants perpetual war and the annexation of t he West Bank, neither of which would be good for the people of Israel.

There's no longer any good reason for AIPAC to exist, since it has no positive objectives and nothing worthwhile to contribute.
