AIPAC's Role in Promoting Moderation in U.S. Politics

AIPAC, a pro-Israel advocacy group, is investing $100 million in Democratic and Republican primaries to elect candidates that support a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and promote moderation over extremism within both parties. They are targeting radical candidates like Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Rep. Cori Bush, while also supporting more moderate candidates in lesser-profile primaries.

U.S.-Israel Relationship and Aid

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) supports maintaining a fundamentally supportive relationship between the U.S. and Israel, arguing that any attempts to undermine this relationship will benefit Hamas. He believes that aid should be provided to Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine, and that Hamas should be removed from power to prevent further terror attacks.
