John,
While AIPAC spends $100 million in attempts to unseat progressive Squad members in their Democratic primaries this year, the anti-Palestinian lobby group is also rewarding Republicans for funding the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
A new report from The Intercept reports that AIPAC was GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson’s biggest donor in 2023. After he led the passage of $14 billion in additional aid to Israel, Johnson received a $95,000 campaign contribution from AIPAC last November.
AIPAC is using their money and influence to play both sides in Washington: they’re giving money to right-wing extremists like Johnson while simultaneously trying to shape Democratic primary elections by running moderates against progressive incumbents who refuse to do their bidding.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that this is a difficult time. There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a ceasefire through Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them using Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this critical moment. |
