      This is the actual answer.

      This lobby group is extremely effective and any legislator that opposes them will see their primary or electoral opponents get millions of dollars in funding.

        Look, AIPAC sucks but do you guys really think we wouldn’t be dumping weapons into the middle east if it weren’t for the Israel lobby? Like the US government doesn’t have its own reasons for doing so?
