Progressive campaign launched to counter Aipac’s influence in US politics

Reject Aipac coalition aims to blunt impact of pro-Israel group that has given millions to opponents of progressive Democrats

A coalition of progressive organizations has announced a fundraising, lobbying and organizing effort to counter the influx of spending by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) into primary campaigns against progressive Democrats.

The effort, called Reject Aipac, is in part a response to the ongoing congressional support for Israel’s campaign in Gaza, which has claimed more than 30,000 Palestinian lives since 7 October, when Hamas killed 1,200 people in Israel.
