Thankfully this is starting to change, albeit not fast enough. AIPAC tried to mess with a congressional primary in NJ (NJ 11); they threw all their weight behind trashing one of the “moderate” candidates they felt wasn’t pro-Israel enough, thinking their pro-Israel candidate would win. Instead, Analilia Mejia won, and she’s not an Israel supporter at all, very progressive.
same in my local Dems party. AIPAC is struggling against candidates who vowed not to take a penny from them.
I dunno what it is about hardliners, but they always seem to gravely misjudge the negative downstream impacts of their actions. Hopefully this groundswell continues against them.
