Shifts in US Support for Israel Aid
I like to say
the AIPAC era is over. I believe that.
The data is in, okay? Sixty-two percent of Americans across
party lines now support conditioning or even eliminating US
military aid to Israel entirely. A fast-growing number of voters,
and especially in early presidential primary states, believe that Israel is
committing genocide in Gaza. That number needs to be higher, but it
is climbing.
Gaza has become a litmus test.
Voters use a candidate's position on AIPAC and Gaza to decide whether a politician
has the basic moral compass to be trusted about anything.
The ground has fundamentally shifted.
I like to say
the AIPAC era is over. I believe that.
Don't get me wrong,
they're still a very formidable, sophisticated,
and very well-funded opponent,
but there is no going back to the old way of doing things for AIPAC,
and they know it.
They're changing their tactics. They're adapting on the fly,
and for our part,
we're adapting as well. But that is what makes this moment
so important, because movements that change history have to
adapt, have to keep building. We have to take momentum
and the mandate for change and turn it into organization.
We have to create a new normal that nobody can roll
back.
