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?
