15. Aipac does do what

Promote genocide? Maybe not directly because that's absurd but I'm not sure how else you can look at it.

Israel is in direct violation of multiple UN resolutions on the West Bank alone. It is a normal and regular thing to sell plots of land in the West Bank that is already the home of a Palestinian, that in many cases has been living there for centuries, and an Israeli bought their land and takes their home without the consent or knowledge of the Palestinian family that owns it.

AIPAC may not make those donations directly to politicians but through other aligned PACs associated with them.
To also keep the money flowing to Israel as well.
This is where I have significant heartburn. We give billions and billions of dollars to Israel and that allows them the ability to give all Israeli citizens free healthcare and a college education but we are told here that that isn't possible for America to do for Americans.
To be fair though, we should not be giving a single penny to any country that offers universal healthcare and free university to its citizens until our citizens here have that same access.
