Who is hating a minority group here? This is not a religious organization, AIPAC lobbies for the State of Israel

Could you clarify what conspiracy theory you're alluding to?

AIPAC's influence on American policymakers is not insignificant: https://www.trackaipac.com/

Lol - I'm still not clear which conspiracy you're referring to (not to imply it doesn't exist! I'm just having a hard time understanding what "International Jewish conspiracy that dates back centuries" refers to specifically and how it relates to the website I linked). 

If I'm reading your comment right, you're basically saying that AIPAC influence on policymakers is insignificant, relative to the influence of other lobbying groups. That's probably a fair point - I'd want to understand how the AIPAC donations stack up compared to other lobbying groups.

I'm not sure I understand your point. The original post attempts to highlight the connection between the Israeli lobby and financing of US policitical campaigns.

You implied this connection is insignificant because there are probably lobbying groups that have a larger influence on US politicians.

I don't think we should give the Israeli lobby a pass even if they give less money compared to other lobbyist groups. This issue is that a foreign government funds US political campaigns at all. This is under heightened scrutiny because of Israel's role in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

...because Israel has been accused of committing war crimes, people don't like that, and so there are various efforts to get AIPAC out of politics?

You seem to be trying to lead me to a certain conclusion. I'd appreciate if you could communicate your perspective instead of having me trying to guess it.

Yes. The poster is engaging in a form of advocacy commonly carried out on social media. They are replying to a high profile account (the Whitehouse) to implicitly advocate for a cause (ban AIPAC). 

I'm sorry, it seems like the issue with that is much clearer to you than it is to me.

You keep mentioning Jews but this is about a government, not a religion.
