Representing AIPAC as a unique evil when most of it (really, petty much all of it) is US citizens who have Israel as a major political issue for them and AIPAC has frequently and famously not gotten its way in many circumstances. People on the left, for some reason, would rather just use age old antisemitism, just sub in "AIPAC" or plausible deniability.

If you think some people don't twig to that when they hear "AIPAC owns" a politician they don't even donate to, and then cover it up with "Well, AIPAC is still bad," well

When it's a politician who doesn't take AIPAC money, sure. If politicians or political parties take AIPAC money, saying AIPAC or Israel owning them is pretty much true. There's no anti-Semitism intended there, but others want to conflate the two. If a politician takes Chinese or Russian money, then those countries own them too.
