Jews do not have very much influence over world events, but Israeli lobbyists have a great deal of influence over U.S. policy towards Israel.

There is nothing unusual in this. Cuban-American lobbyists have even more influence over U.S. policy towards Cuba.

Under our system of government a small but well-funded group of people can have a great deal of influence on an issue if it is an issue that the population at large doesn't particularly care about.

The key is to have money to spend. Haitian-American influence on U.S. policy towards Haiti is not very significant, on account of Haitian-Americans don't have all that much money to spend.
