In New Jersey, AIPAC is targeting former ally Tom Malinowski for saying that military aid to Israel should be conditioned.
In the latest chapter in the Democrats’ civil war over Israel, Ilan Goldenberg, Kamala Harris’s Jewish outreach director, says her campaign was right to question Josh Shapiro about whether he had been an agent for Israel while vetting him for VP.
AIPAC is suddenly unwelcome among Democrats, but there’s a new sheriff in town to enforce the pro-Israel orthodoxy. J Street aims to make liberals ‘love Israel again,’ but most Democrats are looking to distance themselves due to the Gaza genocide.
Zohran Mamdani will need the Jewish establishment to become New York mayor, and liberal Zionists are paving the way. Although this means there will be Zionists in City Hall, they will be playing by new rules set by ascendant pro-Palestine Democrats.
Israel’s inability to solve the Palestinian issue except through apartheid and massacres has fostered a fascistic and racist political culture in the country. But this truth must be kept from Americans, because it would discredit Zionism and put politicians at odds with the Israel lobby.
In 2024, the meaning of “pro-Israel, pro-peace” is macabre: J Street supports U.S. military aid to Israel as it carries out a genocide. Liberal American Zionism has revealed itself to only be a tool for the subjugation of the Palestinian people.
J Street is reportedly losing staff and support as they prioritize Israeli militarism over Palestinian rights. The Gaza genocide is revealing the tension between Zionism and liberal Jewish values, a divide which will only continue to grow more stark.
Years before the murder of American aid worker Jacob Flickinger in Gaza brought worldwide outrage this week, and calls to cut off aid to Israel, pro-Palestinian activists condemned Israel’s murder of American Rachel Corrie. Now activists should welcome all those who decry Israeli human rights abuses.
Nancy Pelosi says concern for Palestinians might just be a plot cooked up by foreign adversaries of the United States government.
