In a recent issue of The New Yorker, Jeffrey Goldberg compared the
power of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to that of
the AARP and the National Rifle Association. If that strikes you as
incredible, consider a conversation he had with an AIPAC insider in
which Goldberg asked if AIPAC's influence had diminished. "A
half smile appeared on his face, and he pushed a napkin across the
table. 'You see this napkin?' he said. 'In twenty-four
hours, we could have the signatures of seventy senators on this
napkin.'"
