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.
The number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza nears 35,000. The House of Representatives votes to send $17 billion more in unconditional military aid to Israel.
AIPAC is poised to spend $100 million this election cycle, as they look to oust the few House members who criticize Israeli policy.
At a briefing yesterday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre seemingly compared Palestine activists to the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville, VA in 2017.
500 people, including two dozen Rabbis, were arrested in Washington, DC on Wednesday as thousands of Jewish activists and allies demanded a Gaza ceasefire.
President Biden is headed to Tel Aviv and Jordan to firm up support before an expected Israeli escalation in Gaza.
The legislative effort is led by Representatives Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, André Carson, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez calls on the Biden administration to push for an immediate ceasefire and send humanitarian aid to Gaza.
During an October 10th briefing White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called progressive congress members who have called for a ceasefire in the Middle East “disgraceful” and “repugnant.”
