The 2019 AIPAC Policy Conference wrapped up yesterday in Washington, D.C. Considered the top annual gathering for pro-Israel activists, countless synagogues and on-campus Hillel chapters across the nation send representatives to the Policy Conference each year.
Although Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is organizationally larger, AIPAC is oftentimes considered more powerful and influential for at least three reasons. First, it is wealthier. Second, it is more closely associated with the American Jewish community, which remains the traditional — though, by no means whatsoever, the future — bastion of American pro-Israel sympathy. Third, in contrast to the more conservative-leaning and Republican Party-friendly CUFI, AIPAC’s entire raison d’être is to protect and promote bipartisan support for the Jewish state.
