Senior figures in the American Jewish community claim that the influence of the Jewish voice and political donations has significantly weakened in recent years. Eric Yoffie, former president of the Reform movement, warns of the erosion of AIPAC's status and criticizes Israel's conduct. According to senior officials, Jews, who make up less than 2% of the population, have lost their electoral presence and media power. Yoffie notes that Israel has become a target of criticism even from members of Congress who were considered its supporters, and that Vice President Vance blamed Israel for the Republican defeat in the midterm elections. He calls on Israel to change its political conduct.
