The Israeli Lobby Spent $2.3M and Helped Elect a Progressive

Описание: AIPAC spent over $2.3 million trying to stop one candidate in New Jersey's 11th District and the most progressive candidate in the race won anyway.

What does this mean for the Israel lobby's strategy heading into the midterms?

In this episode of The Shift, Mondoweiss managing editor Adam Horowitz and U.S. correspondent Michael Arria break down AIPAC's massive miscalculation in the NJ-11 special election, where their spending against Tom Malinowski cleared the path for Analilia Mejia, the only candidate who called Gaza a genocide.

Then they dive into Team Israel's controversial roster in the upcoming World Baseball Classic: a squad of almost entirely American players whose only connection to Israel is the Law of Return. Is this sportswashing? Is this Team Apartheid?

Plus: A Religious Liberty Commission panelist gets kicked off for questioning Israel, and the growing fight inside the Jewish community over how to define and fight antisemitism.
