AIPAC’s Surprising Salvo in Orange County

AIPAC and its pro-Israel allies are getting involved in Democratic primaries over the past two election cycles.

The premise behind these groups was that a new generation of progressive politicians had become too vocal about the Israeli government’s subjugation of the Palestinians .

Peter Bergen : The surprise intervention in California 's 47th Congressional District has broader implications for anyone working in Democratic primary politics.

AIPAC appears to have taken issue with Min ’s prior endorsement by J Street , the Washington -based group that supports a two -state solution in the Middle East .

Min's campaign has pointed out that Min opposes settlement expansion in the West Bank and has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for security failures leading up to October 7 .

EMILYs List and AIPAC-affiliated groups are n’t always on the same side.

But so far in 2024 , there’s a fair bit of alignment.

EMILY 's List has to reckon with indirectly assisting what could be a Republican sabotage campaign.
