    AIPACs money doesn’t offset the votes, so today’s DNC isn’t gonna just do what AIPAC says.

    You are more hopeful than I am.

      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:

        so today’s DNC isn’t gonna just do what AIPAC says.

        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.
