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.
