Despite still being listed as supporters of israel on official pages, they no longer have donation buttons on AIPAC\u2019s site. This move follows the vote on an amendment supported by Rep. Thomas Massie and 103 Democrats to eliminate $3 billion in aid to Israel, though the amendment ultimately failed. An analysis indicates that these lawmakers have collectively received nearly $11 million from AIPAC through donations and contributions, with some actively seeking support since 2022. Notably,Democrats like Nancy pelosi and katherine Clark,who supported the aid cut,have received significant contributions from AIPAC. Clark justified her support by stating the need to change the current policies for lasting peace, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries opposed the amendment, citing concerns about broad limitations on various forms of aid.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign finance arm of the<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/aipac\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2620\"> American Israel Public Affairs Committee<\/a> cut off a fundraising avenue for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-democrats\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"441\">House Democrats<\/a> who voted this week to slash U.S. aid to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/israel-ortega\/\" type=\"mediapress_author\" id=\"22790\">Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Friday afternoon, AIPAC had removed <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/candidates.aipacpac.org\/page\/featured\/\">donation<\/a> buttons for more than a dozen House Democrats from its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/paypal-becomes-third-payment-processor-to-stop-working-with-palestinian-terror-tied-group\/\" title=\"PayPal cuts ties with Palestinian terror-linked group, joining two others.\">online fundraising portal<\/a>, despite those lawmakers still appearing on a page listing incumbents who \u201cstand with Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4654274\/aipac-cuts-funding-democrats-voted-end-israel-aid\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>AIPAC cuts funding to Democrats who voted to end Israel aid<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4654022\/haley-stevens-michigan-abdul-el-sayed-william-lawrence-cbc\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Haley Stevens dings Michigan Senate rival for stumping with Democrat opposed by black leaders<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4653847\/over-100-democrats-voted-to-end-aid-to-israel-theyve-received-nearly-11-million-from-aipac\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Over 100 Democrats voted to end aid to Israel.
