For years, AIPAC played a key role in U.S. politics as a campaign financing powerhouse, but now aspiring candidates are distancing themselves from the group. What lies ahead for the Lobby as the Gaza genocide has made Israel a political liability?
As support for Israel plummets among U.S. voters, Democrats are distancing themselves from AIPAC, and the Israel lobby group is on the defensive.
AIPAC generally portrays itself as an omnipotent force able to stomp out any political campaign that dares to stray from the party line, but a new ad shows they are suddenly on the defensive.
Politico recently declared, “An Entire Generation of Americans Is Turning on Israel.” To the surprise of some, this massive political shift includes the Republican Party.
Two dueling congressional letters on Palestinian statehood reveal how toxic Israel has become among Democrats and show just how far AIPAC’s influence has fallen in Washington.
Democratic National Committee members rejected a resolution calling for an arms embargo on Israel, but pressure continues to mount on party leaders to adopt a stronger stance against the Gaza genocide.
At its summer meeting, the Democratic National Committee will vote on two rival resolutions concerning Gaza. The competing proposals highlight the growing divide over Israel within the Democratic Party.
