You would think the Democratic Party would be making its pitch to voters on affordability issues or things that affect the everyday lives of Americans. Instead, an increasing number of Democrats have become obsessed with talking about Israel and AIPAC.
Michigan’s Democratic candidates for Senate got together for a one-hour debate on Thursday. They decided to spend much of that limited time talking about Israel and AIPAC, with left-wing candidate Abdul el Sayed attacking his Democratic opponents for supposedly courting AIPAC support. AIPAC, an American group, ranked around 74th among domestic lobbyists in 2024, according to HonestReporting. El Sayed, who previously struggled to condemn an attempted attack on a synagogue with preschoolers inside, then downplayed the threat of antisemitism while painting himself as the victim of “Islamophobia.”

Left-wing Democrats are obsessed with Israel, so much so that they talk about it every chance they get. In California’s rural 22nd District, progressive Randy Villegas is trying to sneak into the top two in the state’s open primary against Rep. David Valadao (R) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee-endorsed Jasmeet Bains. Coming down the stretch, with those electoral stakes, in a district focused on water rights and agriculture, Villegas’s latest political commercials talk about the Israeli billionaires campaigning against him.
The Israel obsession has surfaced in Democratic primaries across California and other major national races in the party. In Maine, Democrats nominated a guy with a Nazi tattoo to run against GOP Sen. Susan Collins. In defense of this, the Democratic Party’s new favorite mascot, left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, claims Democratic voters opposing someone with a Nazi tattoo are “straight up israel first democrats.”

But it is Piker and his progressive ilk, including el Sayed and Villegas, who keep bringing up Israel first. They are the ones who, rather than talk about issues facing Americans in America, are obsessed with talking about Israel. And you cannot handwave it away as being a financial concern because these same Democrats would oppose any effort to defund and defang the United Nations and the globalist nonprofit complex they support. Israel ranked tied for 15th among the issues voters were most concerned about in 2024, behind even the more general foreign policy issue of “foreign affairs,” yet they won’t stop talking about it.
The progressive wing of the Democratic Party would rather talk about Israel and AIPAC and Gaza than about the cities and states that Democrats have run into the ground. More importantly, that wing is the one that is continuing to take over the Democratic Party, which is now propping up people like Piker. Their antisemitic obsession is becoming the guiding light of the party, to the point that it is the issue that Democrats want to talk about above all others.
