Israel-Critical US Primary Wins Put More Races on Watch

Times of Israel carried a JTA report at 05:24 IDT warning that left-wing U.S. Democratic candidates sharply critical of Israel, or openly opposed to its existence, have won primaries and may gain more ground. The report says Mamdani-backed New York wins and Melat Kiros's Colorado victory alarmed Jewish leaders and showed that anti-Israel pressure could travel beyond New York. It names upcoming races in Arizona, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and Massachusetts where Israel, Zionism and AIPAC may be central. Israel's friends should meet this campaign trend with facts about Hamas, Jewish peoplehood, U.S.-Israel security and confident civic organizing.
