AIPAC generally portrays itself as an omnipotent force able to stomp out any political campaign that dares to stray from the party line, but a new ad shows they are suddenly on the defensive.

Two new polls show that support for Israel has cratered among the U.S. population.

Amid the ongoing genocide, the largest-ever delegation of U.S. lawmakers attended the “50 States, One Israel” conference in Jerusalem last week. It’s clear from the event, and the local reactions it sparked, that Israel’s isolation is only worsening.

Senators Chris Van Hollen and Jeff Merkley just returned from a Middle East fact-finding trip. They say Israel is enacting ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and the U.S. is complicit.

T Hoxa, who is a part of the Filton 18 – a group of Palestine Action activists jailed over allegedly forcing their way into an Elbit Systems factory in England and destroying weapons intended for use in Gaza – ended their hungers trike after 28 days.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) is targeting the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), claiming the group is “antisemitic” and “connected to terrorists”, following comments by a PYM member about disrupting the weapons supply chain to Israel.

Former State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted that Israel purposely tanked Gaza ceasefire negotiations on multiple occasions during the Biden era.

The second-most powerful Democrat in the House, Katherine Clark, told a group of constituents that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza before walking it back under pressure. It’s the latest sign Democrats are out of step with their voters on Israel.

14 House Democrats visited Israel on an AIPAC trip during summer recess, but the lobbying group has become a pariah among Democratic voters.

This week, the Trump administration reversed a decision to link disaster relief funds with loyalty pledges to Israel.
