Pull-quote and text from article: Pull-quote: AIPAC plays its own damaging role by demanding unquestioning fealty to the Netanyahu government. Text: So while the ultimate fault for the decline in support for Israel lies with the country’s government and its policies, AIPAC plays its own damaging role by demanding unquestioning fealty to the Netanyahu government. The barest hint of concern for the lives of Palestinians and their aspirations for self-governance can get a candidate targeted with a wave of negative ads. But rather than cower in fear of AIPAC’s power, more Democrats are wearing the group’s opposition as a badge of honor. That draws them closer to their own constituents — and suggests that in the near future, AIPAC will lose even more support among Democrats, making it what Democratic candidates seem to already believe it is: just one more Republican interest group.

Text from article: The complex dynamics were on particularly vivid display Tuesday in Illinois’ 9th Congressional District, where Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss emerged as the projected winner in a field of candidates vying to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky. At first, groups believed to be linked to AIPAC boosted state Sen. Laura Fine and attacked Biss. But with Fine attracting little support, AIPAC turned its sights onto Kat Abughazaleh, a young Palestinian American progressive and first-time candidate — but again, not by mentioning Israel. (One ad savaged her for supporting Marco Rubio’s presidential candidacy — when she was 16 years old.) Abughazaleh turned the tables by making AIPAC’s attacks a centerpiece of her campaign, mocking the group and its ads to her substantial social media following. AIPAC then tried to peel off support from Abughazaleh by boosting trailing candidate Bushra Amiwala, who harshly condemned the group for helping her. Even Biss, despite being the front-runner in the race he won, used AIPAC as a foil. “AIPAC finds someone like me really scary,” he said. “Someone who’s Jewish, someone whose mother is Israeli, someone whose grandparents survived the Holocaust and who is willing to stand up and say, ‘Listen, the conduct of the national government in Gaza has been a horror.’” Despite AIPAC’s best efforts, the seat will likely be filled by someone who sees AIPAC as more foe than friend.
