Support for Israel has proven to be electoral poison in two consecutive national elections, for Biden and Trump alike. Democrats must now prove they’ve learned that lesson and deliver on the mandate voters gave them on Tuesday. Read more from our communications director @HBendaas:

72% of Democratic voters in South Carolina say they want the US to stop sending weapons to Israel until Israel ends its military rule over Palestinians and allows for Palestinian freedom. Will @CoryBooker stand with them?

When Anthony Blinken was in charge, he chose to aid and abet Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its illegal war of aggression in south Lebanon. Instead of enforcing US and international law, he chose to fast-track tens of billions of dollars in bombs to Israel and lied to Congress about Israel’s blatant starvation of Palestinians to keep the weapons flowing. Trump’s war on Iran wouldn’t have been possible without the Biden administration enabling Israel at every turn. No one has less credibility than Blinken to be lecturing about how we show up in the world.

Last night, champions of Palestinians human rights won big across the United States, a clear rebuke of historic spending by AIPAC, which is determined to keep the US complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and illegal wars of aggression. Supermajorities of Democratic voters that delivered this historic victory are demanding that Israel finally be held to account for its illegal occupation of Palestinian land, apartheid regime, and ongoing genocide in Gaza. They want to see a total arms embargo, not just an end to taxpayer-funded bombs. They want comprehensive sanctions on Israel, like those the US imposed on apartheid South Africa in order to end white supremacist rule there. These voters should not be ignored any longer. Democrats can not afford to repeat the mistakes they made in 2024. They should take this opportunity to put forward a more moral and popular agenda in this next Congress that reflects the will of their voters. imeupolicyproject.org/polls/…

Two years ago, Democrats lost to Donald Trump in swing states like Michigan in large part because they refused to listen to voters who were clearly demanding an end to funding for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has carved a new path for the party to regain the trust of the voters it had lost by standing firmly on the side of Palestinian rights and against the toxic and extreme agenda of AIPAC. AIPAC’s super PAC spent over $40 million to defeat Dr. El-Sayed this year, and it wasn’t enough. Democrats who want to win the presidential primary and general election in states like Michigan are on notice - we are in a new era for Palestinian rights.

Americans are about to pay more for healthcare than they have in years because President Trump cut $23 billion in funding for the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile he and Republicans in Congress have greenlighted endless billions to fund the war in Iran, Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, and Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Keep that in mind when you go vote today.

President Trump is a serial liar who has announced over $20 billion in weapons giveaways to Israel since taking office and launched a war at Israel’s request that has already cost every US household over $2,000 - the equivalent of $262 billion. He and other politicians realize our taxpayer funding for Israel is a liability. That's why he and his allies in Congress are at this very moment trying to advance legislation to conceal support for Israel by integrating Israeli weapons companies into the Pentagon.
