Top Jewish Democratic senators are pressing AIPAC to back the new START arms reduction treaty with Russia. Four Jewish groups already back Senate ratification of the treaty as a means of cajoling Russia into isolating Iran. Another has suggested that it could prove helpful, and one group opposes it. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee rarely backs such initiatives publicly, but what\’s been notable in this case is that it has not taken a position behind the scenes either.
