This analysis notes all the lobby groups in the index of the book and adds all those which declare as lobbyists to the Federal lobbying regulator together with all those elements of the [[Zionist movement US]] which are affiliated to the [[World Zionist Organisation]], by virtue of being members of the [[American Zionist Movement]]. As can be seen we have index entries in the book on some 54 pro Israel groups with 266 index entries in total, including the largest in order [[AIPAC]] (47), [[ADL]] (30), [[Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations]] (25), [[WINEP]]  (19), [[ZOA]] (15), [[Israel Policy Forum]] (13), [[JINSA]] (11), [[American Jewish Committee]] (10) and all the rest under 10 entries. Of that list only one, the ZOA, is formally part of the Zionist movement being a member of the [[American Zionist Movement]] the official affiliate of the WZO in the US. Amongst the rest of the 54 groups there are another 9 groups which are formally Zionist with some 13 index entries amongst them. For those of you who ask if this is because there are more lobby groups than there are formally Zionist groups, the answer is not really.  If one lists all the rest of the members of the [[American Zionist Movement]] (which has 46 members), none of the rest are referred to in the index.  These include most obviously the [[Jewish National Fund USA]] one of the four pillars of the global [[Zionist movement]] and indeed the [[American Zionist Movement]] itself, the umbrella federation which is the official WZO affiliate in the US.

Latest revision as of 14:15, 19 July 2024


Index analysis

This analysis notes all the lobby groups in the index of the book and adds all those which declare as lobbyists to the Federal lobbying regulator together with all those elements of the Zionist movement US which are affiliated to the World Zionist Organisation, by virtue of being members of the American Zionist Movement. As can be seen we have index entries in the book on some 54 pro Israel groups with 266 index entries in total, including the largest in order AIPAC (47), ADL (30), Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (25), WINEP (19), ZOA (15), Israel Policy Forum (13), JINSA (11), American Jewish Committee (10) and all the rest under 10 entries. Of that list only one, the ZOA, is formally part of the Zionist movement being a member of the American Zionist Movement the official affiliate of the WZO in the US. Amongst the rest of the 54 groups there are another 9 groups which are formally Zionist with some 13 index entries amongst them. For those of you who ask if this is because there are more lobby groups than there are formally Zionist groups, the answer is not really. If one lists all the rest of the members of the American Zionist Movement (which has 46 members), none of the rest are referred to in the index. These include most obviously the Jewish National Fund USA one of the four pillars of the global Zionist movement and indeed the American Zionist Movement itself, the umbrella federation which is the official WZO affiliate in the US.
