“the Jewish lobby” is widely—and correctly so—regarded as an anti-Semitic trope. Anyone should refrain from using it. Even Albanese regrets having used these words a decade ago, and has apologized for doing so. If you want to talk about AIPAC and similar groups you should use the more accurate term Pro Israel lobby, which Albanese has indeed used since. In fact I would argue there is nothing Pro Jewish about AIPAC. AIPAC doesn't really care about American Jews. They only care about furthering Israel’s war machine and that Israel’s human rights violations continues to go unpunished. Even when this policy harms American Jews. Also the trope that Israel controls the USA is also both untrue and anti-Semitic. The USA is perfectly capable of aligning them selfs with a criminal foreign governments on their own if it somehow serves their interest. They did so with Apartheid South Africa, they do so with Saudi Arabian, and there was no “Jewish Lobby” making them do so. The truth is that Israel is an antagonistic country in the Middle East, and it serves the interest of the USA to keep this region unstable. You don't need an evil race of people to keep colonialism alive, you just need plain old capitalists.
