DNC Kills Resolution Condemning AIPAC Influence in Elections, conditioning foreign aid to Israel

2026-04-10

Good for them, pushing back against the party’s Jew hating, radical left.

[NewRepublic] TheDemocratic National Committee has once again proved it is out of step with the base of the party.

"The use of massive outside spending to support or oppose candidates based on their positions regarding international conflicts or foreign governments raises concerns about undue influence over democratic debate and policymaking, potentially constraining elected officials’ ability to represent the views of their constituents," read the nonbinding resolution.

At least two potential 2028 Democratic nominees may have played a role in killing the resolution, with one DNC member telling Politico they received direct calls from the presidential hopefuls expressing concern about the resolution.

Any idea who they are?

The DNC resolutions committee also punted on two other resolutions on recognizing a Palestinian state and conditioning military aid to Israel.

It’s clear that the Democratic establishment is not ready to let go of AIPAC, even as Israel’s genocide on Gaza and influence on American politics has become perhaps the defining progressive issue of this era. AIPAC wouldn’t be spending millions of dollars every year trying to oust progressive Democrats if that wasn’t the case. And while public opinion continues to shift sharply against it, party leadership continues to squirm and offer nonanswers when confronted with that reality.

The Times of Israel points out:

Resolutions Committee instead advances resolution condemning ‘dark money’ more broadly, after proposed resolution only specifically named the pro-Israel US lobby group.

The Democratic National Committee will not vote on a resolution that condemns the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC specifically, after a sub-committee rejected the resolution on Thursday during the DNC (If you're white you ain't right!)

The DNC’s Resolutions Committee instead advanced a resolution condemning "dark money" more broadly in electoral politics. AIPAC is one of several lobbies that have flooded elections with millions of dollars of spending, along with technology and real estate PACs, but it was the only one mentioned specifically in the proposed resolution.

Proponents of the resolution said AIPAC’s $14 million spend during Illinois’ primaries last month made it worth calling out specifically. But its critics — including some who are themselves critical of AIPAC — said the resolution’s singling out of AIPAC carried an "undercurrent of antisemitism."

Chair Ken Martin said the DNC had opted to take the more inclusive approach. "We had various resolutions that focused on different industries and groups, and instead of going one-by-one, we passed a blanket repudiation," he tweeted. "I have made my position on this clear from day one: We must end the influence of dark money in our politics and restore power back to the people."

The DNC’s rejection of the resolution comes as a new poll finds that about 80% of Democratic voters say they have an unfavorable view of Israel, up sharply over the last three years. The Resolutions Committee also declined to adopt two resolutions supporting the Paleostinians and opposing the war in Iran, instead referring them to the party’s year-old Middle East Working Group, which is also meeting this week.

"We’re pleased that the DNC Resolutions Committee rejected a set of divisiveooo
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
, anti-Israel resolutiokns," Democratic Majority for Israel President and CEO Brian Romick said in a statement. "These measures would be a gift to Republicans, would further fracture our party, and do nothing to bring Israelis and Paleostinians closer to peace."
