Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

AIPAC spent millions on a Democratic primary in NJ because the frontrunner said that Israeli air should have conditions.
A Bernie Sanders campaign organizer ended up winning the primary.
Sure. But the statement was:
Which is what I'm pushing back on. Schumer and Jefferies are clearly continuing to steer the party in an explicitly pro-Israel manner. My argument is that today DNC is just as pro-Israel as it was 2 years ago. Maybe tomorrows DNC will be different, but right now, the US Democratic party supports what the US and Israel are doing in Iran.
I don't think the actions of Schumer and Jeffries necessarily invalidate what the poster said. Those are incumbents from a previous time when the DNC was decidedly more unconditionally pro-Israel. Since those are senior members of their houses, AIPAC may be influencing them directly outside of their DNC contributions. Remember that Schumer and Jeffries are members of the Democratic Party, but do not run the DNC, per se.
