The Israel lobby is set to make an example of Jamaal Bowman. Even if they’re barely talking about Israel as they do it.
Political consultant Peter Feld unpacks AIPAC’s strategy in the Democratic primaries, Jamaal Bowman’s bad poll numbers, and whether Gaza will impact Biden’s reelection.
AIPAC has spent $12 million in just two congressional races. Joe Biden notices even if the media doesn’t.
There’s a neat trick to figure out which Democrats get criticized for hurting Joe Biden’s chances in November. If you’re on the left, you get criticized. If you’re on the right, you don’t. And Rashida Tlaib seems to be a primary target.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman says two-thirds of his constituents in NY want a ceasefire, but AIPAC is trying to defeat him because he said we must stand up for the 100,000 Palestinians being killed and wounded by Israel. “[AIPAC’s] number one issue is Israel but they pay to run ads on other issues because they’re an organization that lies to the American people.”
Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court and the Biden administration lifted them. Now, the White House will collaborate with a bunch of Republicans to reinstate them, because the ICC is going after Israel.
So long, David Trone. The billionaire owner of Total Wine, staunch BDS opponent, and notable AIPAC donor lost the Maryland Democratic primary for Senate to Angela Alsobrooks by double digits.
Anti-Palestinian racism is the dominant form of bigotry on the Gaza issue. It determines our policy. All mainstream discussions are tainted by an unconscious assumption that Jewish feelings in the US matter more than Palestinian feelings and for that matter, Jewish feelings matter more than Palestinian lives.
Student protests over Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza expand across the U.S., while Summer Lee defeats AIPAC in Pennsylvania.
