DNC resolution criticizing AIPAC involvement in primaries voted down in committee

The vote was the latest defeat by anti-Israel activists within the Democratic National Committee

Democratic Party activists on Thursday voted to reject a measure that criticized the involvement of AIPAC in Democratic primaries and the American political system.

“We’re pleased that the resolution that wrongly singled out AIPAC was defeated, and that the other anti-Israel resolutions failed to move forward. These measures would be a gift to Republicans, would further fracture our party and do nothing to bring Israelis and Palestinians closer to peace,” Democratic Majority for Israel CEO Brian Romick, who attended the meeting, told Jewish Insider after the vote.

Halie Soifer, the CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, said the group agrees with the goal of getting dark money out of politics but that AIPAC should not be targeted explicitly.

snip======================

Two other resolutions that touched on Israel-related issues were referred to a working group on the Middle East that DNC Chair Ken Martin created last summer to help smooth over some of the party’s fissures on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One of these referred to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide and called for conditioning U.S. military aid to Israel, and the other called for de-escalation in Iran and Gaza. A third resolution on the Middle East, condemning the U.S. missile strike that hit a girls’ school in Iran and killed at least 165 people, passed.

1. That they didn't criticize ALL lobbyists groups, but just singled out one, speaks

volumes, and perhaps among those who pushed this resolution a more nefarious agenda.

2. Being stuck with a mad man is an extremely difficult situation, both

for sane Israelis and sane Americans. It will take wisdom and determination for both countries to rid themselves of their evil leaders.
