As I have said since before the war began: The goal of the United States and Israel has ever always only been to create a failed state. Their goal is destruction, the goal of an arsonist or a vandal. Simple.sadism and spite. Anything else was just P.R.. Iraq, Libya and Syria are the template

The DNC and congressional democrats are entirely on board with this. Hence the endless kvetching over policy and procedures, insinuating that they could a better job fighting the War On Iran if only they were in charge, at least they wouldn't misgender the children that they murder.

The democrats' cynical strategy after the congressional landslide in 2006 is the model here. They ran on ending the war, until they got in office and did nothing to do so.

Then Obama was elected and the antiwar movement up and disappeared, once the wars became St.Barack's wars.

The DNC just voted down three resolutions to stop AIPAC from influencing our politicians. One would have condemned AIPACs role in primaries. One would have conditioned military aid to Israel. The other would have recognized what is happening in Gaza.

Here's is what they are trying to hide (in my opinion).

Total pro-Israel lobby spending in 2024: over $126 million across 389 races. 96% win rate.

- AIPAC PAC: $44.8M

- United Democracy Project (AIPAC's super PAC): $55.4M

- DMFI: $4.8M

- NORPAC: $2.7M

The NRA spent $1.48 million on lobbying in 2024, just to give you a comparison.

AIPAC and affiliated groups spent +$22M on Democratic primaries in Illinois alone in 2026. They operate through shell PACs called "Elect Chicago Women" and "Chicago Progressive Partnership” that are designed to obscure the source of funding. This is not standard political spending. This is a foreignn policy lobby systematically choosing which Democrats are allowed to win primaries, and the scale is only growing exponentially.

80% of Democratic voters now view Israel unfavorably. The base moved but the leadership is paid not to.
