John,

Nearly 60,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been murdered by Israel's genocide, with more starving by the day or being shot by Israeli forces while trying to get food to survive.

The same Democratic politicians who spent two years denying Israel's atrocities and condemning peaceful protesters are now speaking up — but let’s be clear: their tweets and statements don’t mean a thing if they’re still backed by AIPAC and sending more weapons to the IDF.

It’s a moral failure when Marjorie Taylor Greene, of all people, can call a genocide a genocide before hundreds of AIPAC-backed Democrats find the spine to do so.

AIPAC is already pumping money into 2026 races to hold its grip on Washington and maintain unconditional U.S. support for Israel. A new report from Sludge found they already spent more than $12.7 million on federal candidates in just the first half of this year.

AIPAC’s PAC was the largest PAC contributor to federal candidates in the 2024 election cycle, and it looks like they’re preparing to spend even more this time around: their “total spending in the first half of 2025 represents an increase of more than 80% compared with the first six months of 2023.”

If Democrats want to truly stand on the right side of history and end Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, they must cut ties with AIPAC and start voting to hold Israel accountable. If they don’t, then they should be primaried next year.

Justice Democrats’ incumbents like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez have all introduced and supported legislation to end the genocide in Gaza, but AIPAC-backed Democrats keep standing in the way.

Help us send more progressive candidates who will reject AIPAC contributions and fight for a free Palestine to Congress: support our 2026 election work with a grassroots donation of any amount today.
