"Progressive Coalition Counters AIPAC's Influence on US Politics"
Progressive groups have launched a campaign called "Reject AIPAC" to defend Democrats who have criticized Israel's military offensive in Gaza and U.S. support for Israel, while urging lawmakers to reject campaign contributions from the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). This marks a significant development in the Democratic Party's internal debate over Israel. The coalition plans to rally voters, organize demonstrations for a Gaza cease-fire, and impose new conditions on U.S. military support for Israel. AIPAC and Democratic Majority for Israel have been active in endorsing candidates and spending millions in Democratic primaries, while polls show a divide among voters on sending more military aid to Israel.
