I did a quick google, feel free to correct me on these figures:

  • Gottheimer: at least 1.5 million from AIPAC/UDP.
  • Scholten: AIPAC funded trip to Israel in 2023, at least 400k from AIPAC/UDP and similar pro-Israel groups
  • Moskowitz: roughly a 1 million from AIPAC in 2026
  • Suozzi: 600k from pro-Israel groups, DMFI hosted him during trip to Israel in 2023

Given DSA don't want state control of the means of production, aren't actual socialists, but are in fact democratic socialists which is not the same thing.

Given the fact that supporting Israel's no longer as popular with voters, but these 4 democrats are on the payroll of pro-Israel groups.

I don't think these 4 democrats actually care that the DSA are 'socialist' or even that they're left wing. I think they care about their stance on Israel, but don't want to be honest about this being one of the most important reasons why they're against the DSA.
