American Jewish organizations and lobbies are under noone's control
but their own.  Because they are concerned with Israel and support
much of what Israel does, you assume that they're under Israeli control.
American Jewish organizations don't unilaterally agree with all Israeli
policies and actions; they have come under fire at times (from both
Americans and Israelis) for this.
