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.

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.

In a recent interview billionaire and Democratic megadonor Haim Saban said that Bernie Sanders was a “self-hating Jew” and an “Israel-hater,” and defended his support for the lobbying group AIPAC.

AIPAC spent big trying to defeat Summer Lee in her primary by claiming she was a bad Democrat, now they’re spending $1 million on her GOP opponent.

Filings from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) reveal that the pro-Israel group the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent more than $350,000 trying to defeat Rep. Ilhan Omar in the Democratic primary for Minnesota’s 5th district. Additionally the group spent over $400,000 to help defeat New York 10th district candidate Yuh-Line Niou, a progressive assembly member who expressed support for the BDS movement. Both races were very close, Omar’s unexpectedly so.

AIPAC funneled money to a New York Super PAC to help defeat progressive candidate Yuh-Line Niou over her position on BDS.

Political action committees linked to pro-Israel lobby groups are spending more in Democratic primary elections than ever before. But what are the results?
