Isreali Americans aren't a fully democratic voting block and the attrition would likely be pretty low - by contrast youth turnout is what Democrats really need to drive to secure their victory.
Not all Israelis are zionists. Not all zionists are israelis. You are still refusing to understand the full scope of things.
When Reagan broke the unions, single-handedly neutering the largest base of support for Democrats at the time. Groups like The aipac moved into fill that void. If Democrats could easily abandon aipac money by now they would have. As much as it would be morally correct to do it. It would be a bit of a political death sentence as long as money is considered speech.
I'm well aware that not all Isrealis are zionists - in fact, based on my very biased and empirical sample, the majority of American Jews aren't zionists and support a two state or one state secular solution. I've met one due who is legitimately "get them off our land and let us create an exclusively Jewish state"... You're vastly overestimating how much money AIPAC brings to the table, there are much more significant donors out there.
Please elaborate. How much is AIPAC giving in total. Who are the groups who could give more, but aren't. And why aren't they.
That's some extreme sealioning there - you stated the majority of money was coming from AIPAC and offered no clarification... for my reps we've got: House Rep - zero from AIPAC, Senator #1 - zero from AIPAC, Senator #2 - zero from AIPAC.

Why don't you answer those questions for yourself and actually study the facts before making baseless claims. Don't spread bullshit misinformation about a topic you know nothing about.
AIPAC doesn’t contribute directly to candidates. Which pro-Israel groups do?
