“We know AIPAC knows their brand is toxic,” Newman said. “So much so, they are taking their brand out of campaigns and funneling their money through other PACs and donors such as 314 science, DMFI, several small PACs, and of course individual AIPAC members who give as a donor because the candidates can say they received money from donors, not AIPAC, to avoid association with AIPAC.”

AIPAC isn’t necessarily backing off under fire — it’s returning to the way it operated before it started spending directly on elections in the 2022 cycle. Prior to launching its super PAC and regular affiliated PAC, AIPAC was active in politics for more than half a century, working quietly in the halls of Congress and around Washington, D.C., to establish one of the most successful lobbying apparatuses in the country. First launched as a machine to counter negative press coverage of Israel, AIPAC quickly expanded its focus to influencing U.S. policy toward Israel. It positioned itself as a key source of information on Middle East issues for members of Congress and built out regional offices across the country, energizing a network of local pro-Israel activists. AIPAC has routinely lobbied presidents and congressional offices, funded trips to Israel for members of Congress and hosted members to address its annual policy conference, extending its reach into the halls of power without touching electoral politics.

“Clearly, AIPAC knows exactly how toxic they are to Democratic Party voters who see them as a right-wing extremist lobby, championing a right-wing agenda, and funded by right-wing megadonors trying to buy our elections,” said Justice Democrats spokesperson Usamah Andrabi. “Voters are not interested in politicians who say one thing to their constituents and another to billionaire Republican donors, but AIPAC excels at finding candidates eager to reject authenticity and embrace moral cowardice if it means a seat in Congress.”

Thank you.

Go ask them. Maybe they can also give you those numbers you swore you were looking up.

I’m still waiting for anyone to show me how much money he’s received. Or explain why I should be upset about what amounts to a gofundme page.

Maybe, but I dont know about hardcore. I have literally watched him vote against Zionist legislation before on the most boring TV channel. I suppose it could have been strategic voting that he had foreknowledge that would make his vote irrelevant, but I also have heard at at least some calls against occupation from him, as well.

I dont particularly love or hate the man, though he does seem to have some sort of principles that he’s stuck to longer than I’ve lived. That makes him way above average for a politician in this country. We have to grade on the curve over here, since our national politics is a clown show in a media circus.
