Challenger, pbel, et al,
You and "pbel" are confusing fund raising for office with the perceptions held by the average voting American (non-politician).
PACs don't influence people, they influence legislation.
I am not influenced by a PAC, but I can influence my Congresswoman and Senators.
In every conflict there will be the anti-War, and opposition to US Policy crowd. It is traditional. There is something exciting about it for some. But the volume of the vocal is not always representative of the actual voting constituency. And the actual voting constituency is not influence by the PAC --- any PAC.
Very few in America --- especially true patriotic Americans --- are going to consciously stand-up for a Arab terrorist supporting government; especially one that has openly threatened the US, and has gone out of its way to inflict pain on Americans. And no politician is going to build a political platform that includes the support of Arab Terrorist Regimes. (political suicide)
Most Respectfully,
R

(COMMENT)As for the Palestinians, you seem to overlook that after Hamas won the only free and fair election the Palestinians ever had, the US State Department treated Hamas as the de-jure government of Palestine (PA). America changed it's policies only after Zionist Israel went bannanas. America no-one's lackey? Perhaps not, but Zionist Izreal's political *****? That's very hard to disprove.
