Mapping Pro‑Israel Super PACs and PACs in America (with FEC IDs, what they do, and how to verify)

What counts as a “Super PAC” vs a “PAC”

• Super PAC (independent‑expenditure‑only committee): can raise unlimited funds and spend unlimited amounts independently (cannot coordinate with candidates).

• PAC (traditional political action committee): can contribute directly to candidates (subject to limits) and may also spend independently.

• Hybrid PAC (Carey committee): maintains separate “contribution” and “non‑contribution” accounts—can donate to candidates from one account and make independent expenditures from the other.

The core pro‑Israel Super PACs (independent‑expenditure committees)

1) United Democracy Project (UDP) — Super PAC (Independent Expenditure‑Only)

Why it matters: UDP is widely reported as AIPAC‑affiliated and is one of the most prominent pro‑Israel super PACs active in congressional races.

How to build “the list” yourself (repeatable method)

Step 1 Use the FEC committee search:

• Search for committee names containing “Israel”, “Pro‑Israel”, “AIPAC”, “Jewish Coalition”, “DMFI”, “J Street”, and “United Democracy Project”.

• Confirm committee type: “Independent expenditure‑only” indicates a Super PAC.

Step 2 For each committee, capture:

• Committee name

• FEC ID

• Committee type (Super PAC / PAC / Hybrid)

• Treasurer

• Total receipts and total independent expenditures for the cycle you’re analyzing

Step 3 Cross‑verify with reputable reporting:

• Use outlets like Reuters or The Guardian to contextualize how spending is deployed in specific races.

Important language note for your blog

Be careful with wording: “Israeli Super PACs” implies foreign control. A more accurate framing is:

“U.S. pro‑Israel Super PACs and PACs.”

This framing is stronger because it:

• Matches how these committees are legally organized (U.S. committees under U.S. law)

• Avoids implying illegal foreign‑national funding without evidence

• Keeps the focus on what’s observable: domestic political spending aligned with a foreign‑policy agenda
