DAWN MENA

AIPAC swings elections & shapes policy, but works in the shadows. They claim to be independent, but new @dawnmenaorg data—drawn from LinkedIn pages of 3000+ current & ex AIPAC staff—reveal deep ties & revolving door w Israeli & US govts. Take a peek inside dawnmena.org/u-s-new-data-h…

AIPAC's website doesn't tell you "who is their board, who is their staff, who runs the organization. It's completely operating as an invisible machine with no accountability or transparency," says DAWN's @raedjarrar. See our new exposé on AIPAC's ties: dawnmena.org/u-s-new-data-h…

AIPAC operates one of DC's largest lobbying and electoral operations, but doesn't disclose staff identities. "It is critical that Americans continue to press for answers on who actually runs AIPAC," said DAWN's @raedjarrar. See our new research on AIPAC: dawnmena.org/u-s-new-data-h…

The Nakba "marks not a concluded past, but the beginning of an ongoing system of dispossession and displacement upon the foundation of Israel in 1948 that continues to structurally deny Palestinian life today." Dania Abul Haj writes in @DAWN_Journal: dawnmena.org/the-nakba-is-n…

“We see you, and you belong.” These are the words that the Lebanese state must be able to say to its neurodivergent and disabled citizens, most of whom have been left behind for years, writes @Adnansoutlook29.  dawnmena.org/for-lebanons-d…

AIPAC doesn't disclose identities of its staff. But DAWN's research shows how AIPAC staff maintain strong connections to the Israeli and US governments. “AIPAC shapes US policy...but operates entirely in the shadows,” says DAWN’s @OmarSShakir. Read more: dawnmena.org/u-s-new-data-h…

In December, @DAWNmenaorg published the identities of the 50 execs & board members who run AIPAC—which AIPAC hides. Our new data shows how AIPAC operates. AIPAC is tax-exempt—so in effect subsidized by Americans. Here's what your tax dollars are funding: AIPACWhoWeAre.org

On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed at least 19 people, @AP reported, including four women and three children. Israel has invaded southern Lebanon and bombarded Beirut. More than a million Lebanese have been displaced. Read more: apnews.com/article/lebano…

“DAWN’s analysis shows that 66 former AIPAC staffers currently work in the US government, from Congress to the White House to various branches of the military; nearly two dozen current AIPAC staffers previously worked in US government bodies." aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/20…

AIPAC shapes U.S. policy in the Middle East. And you should know how it works. @DAWNmenaorg’s new research maps the ties of more than 3,000 current and former AIPAC staffers to the Israeli and U.S. governments, military and intelligence institutions, think tanks, media outlets, and political organizations — a “network of networks” influencing policy and power.

Even the @nytimes not exempt from Israel’s war on journalism

Staff at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) maintain strong connections to the Israeli and U.S. governments and the broader pro-Israel ecosystem in the U.S., said DAWN today in releasing new data mapping the professional connections of more than 3,000 current and former AIPAC staff. The data demonstrates a revolving door relationship between AIPAC and U.S. and Israeli governmental institutions, with dozens of current and former AIPAC staff having worked for Israeli or U.S. government bodies.
