Jamaal Bowman’s loss is undoubtedly a massive victory for the Israel lobby, however, it would be a mistake to overstate AIPAC’s power based solely on George Latimer’s win.

Michael Arria discusses the impact of Jamaal Bowman’s primary loss to George Latimer and whether AIPAC is really as influential as it claims to be.

The Israel lobby’s strong-arm tactics still work. But the amount of effort they needed to defeat Jamaal Bowman shows they won’t work forever. 

George Latimer used $15 million from AIPAC to defeat Jamaal Bowman in New York’s 16th district. “We should be outraged when a super PAC of dark money can spend $20 million to brainwash people into believing something that isn’t true,” Bowman said.

Michael Arria interviews Justice Democrats spokesperson Usamah Andrabi about the Reject AIPAC coalition, the Israel lobby’s election strategy, and two of the biggest primary fights of the summer.

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.”
