Once the guardian of the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus, it is now a polarizing force in the party.

When Brad Lander opened his Democratic primary bid for New York’s 10th Congressional District late last year, he made a promise that would once have meant political suicide: He would not do “AIPAC’s bidding” in Washington.
Now the June 23 primary is almost here, and AIPAC has been a recurring theme throughout the campaign. A progressive Jew and self-described liberal Zionist, Lander challenged his opponent, the pro-Israel incumbent Dan Goldman, to take a “people’s pledge” to limit money from super PACs. He has sent a steady stream of text and email blasts comparing AIPAC with Wall Street and crypto — a new, unholy trinity of corrupting influences in democratic politics.
“publicly turning”
Aipac still funneling a lot of them money through other pacs. They like to use progressive pacs like “women for Congress” Or “people of color united”
So you think those donations come from women or progressive organizations or something.
Nope. It’s aipac.
Slimy fuckers aren’t they ?
