Progressive Coalition Launches Campaign to Reject AIPAC Influence
Over 20 progressive groups unite to challenge AIPAC's political and electoral influence, advocating for a shift in U.S. policy towards Israel and Palestine.
- More than 20 progressive organizations, including Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party, have formed a coalition named 'Reject AIPAC' to counter the pro-Israel lobby group's influence in U.S. politics.
- The coalition aims to support progressives targeted by AIPAC in elections, lobby against the group's agenda in Congress, and urge Democrats to renounce AIPAC support.
- AIPAC is preparing to spend $100 million on the 2024 elections, targeting progressives critical of Israel, with funding from right-wing donors.
- Reject AIPAC's campaign includes a pledge for politicians to refuse AIPAC support, emphasizing a foreign policy that respects human rights and international law.
- Despite the financial disparity, coalition members remain optimistic about overcoming AIPAC's influence, citing widespread voter support for their stance on a ceasefire in Gaza and conditioning aid to Israel.
