Michael Arria speaks to JVP Action Political Director Beth Miller about Cori Bush’s record in Congress and how much AIPAC is spending to unseat her.

Tens of thousands of Toronto Jews oppose Israel’s holocaust in Gaza. But the mainstream Toronto Jewish community still promotes anti-Palestinian and Muslim racism and supports the ongoing genocide.

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.

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. 

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.

Zionism and Hindutva share ideological roots, and increasingly followers of both are finding common ground in propping up the same American politicians.

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.

A Pew poll shows that when it comes to Israel, American Jews are much closer to white evangelicals than they are to Democratic Party numbers. Democrats want to cut off military aid. By and large, Jews don’t.

Smearing the protesters of the Gaza genocide: Dana Bash on CNN says it’s OK to criticize Netanyahu, but not the Jewish state, then says these protests “hearken back to the 1930s” and Jews across the U.S. feel unsafe. While her colleague Jake Tapper says that Jewish students are unsafe at Columbia and Tulane; and on the PBS News Hour, David Brooks says that the Columbia University protests against Israel “are hate-filled and bigoted.”

Bob Feldman, who protested at Columbia University in 1968, on the student uprising today, “I would tell these students: people will always remember what you did today . . . and I believe they have accomplished much more in 2024 than we did in 1968.”
