Anti-progressive PACs will do anything to maintain their leverage over US politicians, undermining not only Progressive Democrats and liberals in the 2024 elections, but sabotaging any efforts towards peace in the Middle East.
According to Politico, AIPAC became “activated, engaged and concerned at a level that is unprecedented” after the 7 Oct 2024 Hamas attack on Israel.
Cori Bush [D-Mo.] said AIPAC and their Republican mega donors are targeting Black and brown Democratic incumbents with the same right-wing playbook across the country.
“We support candidates from both parties solely based on one criteria – their commitment to strengthening the US-Israel relationship,” AIPAC spokesperson Marshall Wittmann said in an emailed statement.

Thanks to AIPAC, progressive electoral gains in Congress and state legislatures across the US are in jeopardy. And until the US Democratic Party and the Israeli Labor Parties unravel the Gordian Knot that is AIPAC, expect little progress towards a concordat between the Israelis and Palestinians.
