____________

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC; pronounced /ˈeɪpæk/, ay-pak) is a lobbying group that advocates for pro-Israel policies to the Congress and Executive Branch of the United States. The current President of the AIPAC is David Victor, from Detroit, Michigan.[1] As an independent, not-for-profit entity, AIPAC is funded entirely through contributions from its members.

Describing itself as "America's Pro-Israel Lobby,"[2] AIPAC is a mass-membership organization whose members include Democrats, Republicans, and independents. The New York Times calls it "the most important organization affecting America's relationship with Israel."[3] It has been described as one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, DC, and its critics have stated it acts as an agent of the Israeli government with a "stranglehold" on the US Congress.[4]

In 2005, a Pentagon analyst pled guilty to charges of passing US government secrets to two AIPAC staffers in what is known as the AIPAC espionage scandal. Both staffers were later fired.[5]

In 1984 the FBI investigated after Israeli Minister of Economics Dan Halpern passed stolen classified US government documents to AIPAC outlining trade secrets of major US industries lobbying against the US-Israel Free Trade Area.[6]

___________________

American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) est un groupe de pression né en 1951 aux États-Unis visant à soutenir Israël en particulier dans son conflit avec les États arabes de la région ainsi que l'idéologie sioniste. L'AIPAC soutient fortement la droite israélienne et plus spécialement le Likoud (notamment sur toutes les questions touchant aux colonies dans les territoires occupés).

N'employant jusque dans les années 1970 qu'une petite poignée de collaborateurs, l'AIPAC compte aujourd'hui (selon ses propres indications) 100 000 membres et 165 employés, et dispose d'un budget annuel de 45 millions de dollars. Elle dispose également de nombreux bureaux dans la plupart des États américains mais également d'un siège social à Washington proche du Congrès.

L'AIPAC s'appuie sur un réseau de plus de soixante-dix organisations qui lui sont affiliées, dont les représentants siègent à son conseil directeur.

L'AIPAC, recensé comme « groupe de pression » ou « lobby », est une organisation possédant une grande influence sur les décisions gouvernementales, et possède un champ d'action extrêmement large.
