Donna Edwards might face AIPAC-backed challenger

Donna Edwards, the star congresswoman from the Maryland suburbs of D.C. who took a brave stand on the Gaza slaughter, is being primaried by another black politician, this one likely to earn the backing of the traditional Israel lobby. So reports JTA/Washington Post: Glenn F. Ivey, a county prosecutor, could get big money from the AIPAC forces, while Edwards would have to turn to the J Street crowd, that is, that part of the J Street crowd that will get behind her. A "proxy battle" for the two branches of the lobby. Yes, and where is the American interest? You’d think this might be an opportunity for journalists to explore that tender but crucial question: how much of the money in Democratic Party politics comes from Jews? And how controlling is the Israel question for those givers?
