Yes, the Jewish American lobbying groups have been highly effective in influencing US and world politics. Their collective influence has been instrumental in promoting certain policy positions, such as pro-Israel stances and championing certain human rights causes. They also often work in concert with other powerful interests to further particular objectives. For example, they have been a key component of efforts to combat antisemitism and fight global boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns targeting Israel. As a result of their collective influence, Washington D.C., New York City and other cities are now hubs for lobbyists who represent or advocate on behalf of foreign entities seeking increased access to Congress and other influential power centers around the world.

Yes, Jewish American lobbying groups have had a huge influence over US and world politics. For decades, these groups have been very effective at advancing their interests and protecting Israel’s interests in US policymaking. In particular, two prominent Jewish American lobbyist groups—The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and The Council on Foreign Relations (CFF)—have been instrumental in dictating foreign policy objectives related to Israel as well as opposing moves within the UN Security Council that could be critical of Israeli actions towards Palestine.
