The American Israel Public Affairs Committee and its affiliates throw around tens of millions of dollars in American elections to ensure that hardline supporters of Israel are elected to the U.S. Congress on both sides of the aisle.
While the pro-Israel lobbying firm has long enjoyed success in America, it has encountered a number of setbacks in recent months.
For instance, by recently pouring millions of dollars into the Democratic primary against former New Jersey Rep. Tom Malinowski over his criticism of the Israeli government, AIPAC unwittingly paved the way for a fiercer critic of Israel, Analilia Mejia, to succeed ex-Rep. Mikie Sherrill.
'One Republican is standing in the way.'
In Illinois, AIPAC also made a bad investment in Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, who got crushed in the 7th District Democrat primary to replace retiring incumbent Rep. Danny Davis.
Despite its recent missteps and growing unpopularity on the left, AIPAC still appears confident that it can help unseat Rep. Thomas Massie (R) in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District by characterizing him as a turncoat and Republican challenger Ed Gallrein as the optimal choice.
The United Democracy Project, an AIPAC super PAC established in 2022, recently spent $790,000 for a week of broadcast and cable ads in the Cincinnati, Louisville, and Charleston media markets, reported the Jewish Insider.
In the 30-second ad that AIPAC apparently hopes will hurt Massie, a narrator states, "What happened to Thomas Massie? He's flipped. Massie started out as a conservative Republican but now votes with liberal Democrats."

The ad does not specify which votes the UDP perceives as blemishes on Massie's record. The congressman did, however, recently vote in favor of resolutions directing Trump to remove the U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, and voted last year against Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
In November 2023, he also ruffled feathers when casting the lone "no" vote in Congress against a resolution that: reaffirmed the State of Israel's right to exist, deemed denial of that right a form of anti-Semitism, rejected calls for Israel's destruction, and condemned the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Massie stated at the time that he agreed with the "title 'Reaffirming the State of Israel's Right to Exist' and much of the language," but voted no "because it equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism."
"On Israel, Massie votes with AOC and Ilhan Omar again and again," says the narrator of the AIPAC ad. "Massie's a flippin' disaster. That's why President Trump supports Ed Gallrein for Congress."
In October, Trump endorsed Gallrein, a farmer and Navy SEAL combat veteran whose website notes that he's "fighting for President Trump's and the Republican Party's America First Agenda."
Last month, Trump reiterated his support for the GOP challenger, stating that Massie — a lawmaker with an 86.77% lifetime Turning Point Action score and a 91.25% score this Congress — is the "Worst 'Republican' Congressman we have had in many years," and that Gallrein is alternatively "the person that will help us do the job, and do it right."
Rep. Massie said in a statement to Blaze News, "The fact that AIPAC has resorted to using its pro-abortion super PAC shows how desperate they are to breathe life into their empty suit. Millions of dollars won’t make up for the fact that he’s AWOL on the campaign trail. He’s skipped seven debates and forums so far.”
The UDP previously blew over $328,000 in 2024 on a television campaign attacking Massie, reported McClatchy DC.
"Republicans are trying to help Israel," said the 2024 ad. "But one Republican is standing in the way. It's Kentucky's Tom Massie."
A spokesman for UDP said at the time that the AIPAC group wanted "to make sure every voter in the state knows how bad he is on Israel."
Recent polling suggests that AIPAC might be throwing good money after bad as far as Massie's race goes.
According to a Quantum Insights poll released on April 9, Massie led Gallrein 46.8% to 37.7% among likely Republican voters, with 14% undecided and 1.5% saying they wouldn't vote. The same poll found that 49.9% of respondents preferred a candidate who is independent-minded while 37.4% preferred a strong Trump supporter.
On the prediction market platform Polymarket, Massie presently leads Gallrein 71% to 28.6%.
The primary race will be held on May 19.

A five-year-old Minnesota boy saved his brother's life on Easter Sunday but is now fighting for his own as his community rallies around his family.

A former elementary school teacher from Louisiana has been hit with 25 child sex-crime charges after accusations of illicit relationships with two students, according to authorities. In addition, a second Louisiana woman recently was arrested in connection with the eyebrow-raising case.
The St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that its deputies started an investigation into 31-year-old Marisa Noel on Jan. 28.
'We will continue to support our partners across the state and bring to justice anyone who exploits or sexually abuses the children of Louisiana.'
Police said deputies launched the investigation after being tipped off about the teacher reportedly "having an inappropriate relationship with one of her former students."
Police said at the time of the investigation, Noel was a fifth-grade teacher at Teche Elementary School in Breaux Bridge.
Noel was arrested and booked into the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center on April 13, according to jail records.
Noel originally was charged with four counts of indecent behavior with juveniles and four counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor.
However, law enforcement said an additional victim was identified, which resulted in 17 more charges just two days after her arrest.
The sheriff's office said Noel additionally was charged with 10 counts of indecent behavior with juveniles, three counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor, two counts of child sexual abuse materials, one count of first-degree rape, and one count of unlawful communications.
Louisiana law states that those convicted of first-degree rape can be sentenced to life in prison without the benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.
However, if a victim is younger than 13 years old, the district attorney can seek the death penalty.
Law enforcement did not reveal the ages of the alleged victims. However, the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation said at least one of the alleged victims was younger than 13 years old.
Police noted that Noel is no longer a teacher at Teche Elementary School.
The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation said in a press release that a second woman was arrested in connection with the case involving Noel.
The news release said the Breaux Bridge woman was arrested as "part of an ongoing joint investigation with the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office after a former fifth-grade teacher in the parish was arrested for first-degree rape and other crimes against children."
Cortney Burleigh, 37, was arrested Thursday and charged with felony counts of cruelty to juveniles, obstruction of justice, and indecent behavior with juveniles/accessory after the fact.
The news release did not specify Burleigh's role in the case but noted that she was not a teacher at the school.
Attorney General Liz Murrill stated, "We will continue to support our partners across the state and bring to justice anyone who exploits or sexually abuses the children of Louisiana."
The Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, the St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Homeland Security Investigations are conducting the ongoing joint investigation.
The LBI, the sheriff's office, the elementary school, and St. Martin Parish School District didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' requests for comment.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) stepped down from Congress on Tuesday, moments before the House Ethics Committee was set to consider sanctions.

A report has found that many servers have no idea that the Trump administration's "no tax on tips" policy is the reason their tax refunds are larger this year.
President Donald Trump touted the policy last week in Las Vegas after a DoorDash driver delivered McDonald's food to the White House.
The majority of hospitality workers she interviewed in Washington, DC, had no clue about the policy.
Despite such efforts, the Daily Wire found that many servers have no clue that the policy lowered their tax burden this year.
"Republicans have a messaging problem," reporter Brecca Stoll said.
One waitress at Pearl Dive Oyster Bar said she had gotten a tax refund this year but did not receive one the year before. Stoll let her know that Trump was likely the reason she got a refund in taxes.
"Is that a good thing for us?" the woman asked skeptically.
"Well, if you got more money back!" Stoll replied.
"That’s one thing he's done good, I guess," she acknowledged reluctantly.
Another had no clue at all about the change.
"Did you know your tips weren't taxed this year?" Stoll asked.
"I did not! Really? I did not know that. ... Maybe that's why we did good this year!" she responded while laughing.
Stoll posted a video compilation of her conversations with servers who had no clue their taxes had been cut by Trump.
A bartender told Stoll his reduced tax bill might have been from life changes.
"Because my son — I claim him — so, you know, it just boosted the profit," he said. "Other than that, I wouldn't have gotten too much at all."
After Stoll informed him about the new no tax on tips policy, he laughed.
"Oh yes, I would definitely say that was it," he admitted.

Stoll said the majority of hospitality workers she interviewed in Washington, D.C., had no clue about the policy that lowered their tax burden significantly.
Some on social media responded that the culprit for the lack of awareness was the Democrat-aligned mainstream media and a lack of interest from the public.
