I mean, sure I get it, Israel is a special case for reasons stated. And admittedly part of my bewilderment probably stems from the custom to give vast amounts of money to political campaigns in the first place. I do not really blame AIPAC or the friends of Israel for playing the game as it needs to be played. But to me it's still weird :)
For understandable reasons they don't appear to donate to presidential campaigns.

You and I share the same concerns when it comes to money in politics, but as you say they're playing the game as it's currently structured.
