So how do Christians vote? Are they a monolith?

AIPAC gets support from a very limited Jewish constituency. 9 out of 10 Jews have no ideas who they are or what they do, let alone support them.

So are you a fan of the Mearsheimer and Walt article "The Israel Lobby?"

I have never seen a breakdown on how Christians vote. There have been data on Catholics, Protestants, and various Protestant groups. Obviously, they are not a monolith.

AIPAC gets support from a very limited Jewish constituency. 9 out of 10 Jews have no ideas who they are or what they do, let alone support them.

AIPAC is probably the most effective lobbying group in America. Certainly, most politicians of both parties are well aware of AIPAC. I serioiusly doubt that only ten percent of the Jews in America know who they are and what they do.

According to its website, this is how they describe themselves: From a small public affairs boutique in the 1950s, AIPAC has grown into a 100,000-member national grassroots movement described by The New York Times as "the most important organization affecting America's relationship with Israel."

Fan? I have read the article in Foreign Affairs and I have read critques of it. It is what it is.
