Aipac is now a toxic brand. The Michigan Senate race is only one example

Aipac, once a respected pro-Israel lobbying group, has fallen into disrepute in recent years. The group's recent attempts to get more involved in political campaigns in an effort to suppress advocates for Palestine in Congress have led to it being perceived as a symbol of money in politics. Aipac's efforts to defend and promote the interests of a foreign country have become increasingly controversial.

The group's reputation has been further damaged by its association with candidates whose views on Israel and Palestine, the war on Iran, and its faith as a Muslim have been met with opposition. This decline in Aipac's image was particularly evident in the Michigan Senate race, where the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers, quietly requested that Aipac refrain from supporting him.
