: Jewish interest groups that engage in lobbying to seek
influence on a particular issue
WHEN IT’S ANTISEMITIC:
A post connecting an alleged “Jewish lobby” with the destruction of Muslim countries.
Lobbying groups by definition use their money to support
specific causes. Individual Jewish groups use money through
contributions, including campaign contributions, to draw
support for various missions and causes, as do tens of
thousands of other American lobbies and interest groups.
There is no one “Jewish lobby” that speaks for the Jewish
community. While some people use “Jewish Lobby” and
“Israel Lobby” interchangeably and have no antisemitic
intentions when saying “Jewish Lobby,” the phrase serves as
a dog whistle for those who believe Jews control politics and have a “Jewish agenda” (see
control). When “Jewish Lobby” is purposefully invoked to
describe Jewish control of Washington, then that is antisemitic.
