Abdul El-Sayed overcame the largest single-race investment in AIPAC’s history, but pro-Israel centrists are straining to downplay his victory in Michigan.

The House of Representatives has passed a $1 trillion bill that includes a provision critics say amounts to integrating the U.S. and Israeli militaries. Human rights groups and lawmakers are sounding the alarm as the bill now advances to the Senate.

The New York Democratic primary showed that Israel has become a litmus test for voters. The media frames this as a “divide” within the party, but the only divide is between party leaders who still support Israel and voters who don’t.

Israel has stated it does not plan to leave Lebanon even if the current ‘war’ ends. If the Gaza model is any guide, Israel appears to be moving toward expanding its border into Lebanon.

After 15 months of a fragile ceasefire, Lebanon woke up on March 2 to the familiar sounds of Israeli bombs. As the violence escalates and tens of thousands are displaced, Lebanon’s social divisions threaten to worsen an already dire situation.
