The Pro-Israel Lobby Is Opposing Rand Paul's Amendment To Block Weapons Sales To Egypt
The pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) actually opposed Paul’s amendment. An AIPAC official explained to The Daily Caller News Foundation that the committee feared that the measure, if passed, would diminish U.S. influence in Egypt.

Israel wields Bible's soft power as far afield as Brazil
Israel is ramping up its outreach to the growing numbers of evangelical Christians, particularly in the Global South, in order to build popular support for state policies.
Many of these influential Christians, brought over by the Chicago branch of Israel’s Ministry of Tourism, plan to bring their many followers here – or already have. They are part of a growing band of Christians around the world who see support for Israel as a divine calling, some of whom are motivated by apocalyptic urgency.
Increasingly, Israel is not only cultivating their love of the Holy Land but also courting their political support, with some proponents calling such faith-based diplomacy the most powerful weapon in Israel’s diplomatic arsenal – though its precise capabilities and range remain to be fully proven.
“You folks here are the best offense and defense we could ever have,” Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat told an overflow crowd at the seventh annual Night to Honor Our Christian Allies, held last month at the city’s prestigious King David Hotel. “Enjoy the city of Jerusalem … and go back home as strong ambassadors of the state of Israel and the city of Jerusalem."
While this largely evangelical movement is most well organized in the US, its most rapid growth is coming from developing countries like Brazil and Nigeria, which have not traditionally supported the Jewish state. Israel, very much conscious of the welcome support this could yield in forums like the United Nations, is tapping into the shared religious heritage of Judaism and Christianity to boost everything from tourism to Israel’s standing on the world stage.
"There is a new dynamic taking place in our world where [Christian supporters] are growing in a dramatic way, who are standing with the nation of Israel like never before,” said Jürgen Bühler, executive director of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, which has expanded to 80 branches around the world since its inception in 1980. “I believe this meeting today in Jerusalem in a way symbolizes, encapsulates, this dynamic movement that is taking place, that a new breed of Christianity is growing up which will stand with the nation of Israel no matter what."

As they should. As should Israel.
We shouldn't sell weapons in a war zone unless we are clearly backing one side. We have already been backing the wrong side.
Israel?
Seriously Chump?
How can you say something so dumb. I thought you were smarter than that.
First off, AIPAC is not Israel. Any idea what Isreal thinks about it? I'll bet you don't.
Now by backing the wrong side, I mean the "Arab Spring." They are as bad or worse than those we are helping them oust.
the current Egyptian government is just looking for an excuse to attack Israel I think. We should not give them better weapons to do so with. With such a threat, we should not give them anything at all.

Why hold back? Tell us all the differences between AIPAC and the government of Israel and the reasons for those differences. Thanks in advance.
In what way?Now by backing the wrong side, I mean the "Arab Spring." They are as bad or worse than those we are helping them oust.
If the Egyptian government was looking for an excuse to attack Israel it would have one by now.
Why do you personally care what happens to Israel so much?
AIPAC is an American pro Israeli group. Not an Israeli pro Israel group.
So you can't tell me what the difference in their policies are?
Ok.
It doesn't matter. They do not speak for Israel.
Of course AIPAC does, that's exactly why AIPAC exists. Are you saying AIPAC NEVER speaks against Israel? if so, when,where did AIPAC speak against Israel?
