    4. The near-unanimous support for pro-Israel bills in Congress showcases the extent of AIPAC’s influence and control over legislative decisions.
    5. AIPAC’s use of positive reinforcement, such as public praise for politicians like Bernie Sanders, further solidifies its power and strengthens its hold in Washington.
    6. The continued growth of AIPAC’s power and influence over the years highlights its enduring impact on US politics and foreign policy decisions.
    7. AIPAC’s tactics of funding ads, targeting specific demographics, and using positive reinforcement demonstrate the multifaceted approach it takes to maintain its stronghold in Washington.
