The Congressional Black Caucus’s Silent Partnership With AIPAC
The influential group of lawmakers has damaged its reputation as “conscience of the Congress” by staying silent on the Gaza genocide.
More than a year has passed since the International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ highest judicial body, issued its first order in the landmark case brought against Israel by South Africa, which contends that Israel has been committing acts of genocide in its war in Gaza. The ICJ found that “with respect to the right of the Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide…and the right of South Africa to seek Israel’s compliance,” South Africa’s case was “plausible.” Plausible: a restrained word that, in this context, fails to convey the harsh truth of the war Israel has been conducting. Palestinians are being starved, displaced, and slaughtered. More than 60,000 Palestinians have died, and 1.9 million are being brutally displaced, in a manner eerily similar to the dispossession of their forebears in the Nakba of 1948. By the end of September, according to a group of international food-aid organizations, more than 600,000 Palestinians would be experiencing famine, a completely preventable calamity marked by extreme food deprivation, acute malnutrition, and starvation-related deaths.

Op-ed: Running completely unchecked, AIPAC is corrupting American democracy
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, just spent over $100 million influencing the 2024 elections, a record-breaking sum. AIPAC has exploited a system that lets it funnel unlimited money into American elections while dodging the accountability required of foreign agents. The result? A Congress that consistently prioritizes Israeli interests over American ones, regardless of voters’ concerns.
This represents the weaponization of our broken campaign finance system, which ensures that politicians who question unconditional support for Israel face financial ruin and accusations of antisemitism, while those who toe the line are rewarded with millions in campaign cash. A foreign government is buying American policy through legal loopholes and political intimidation, and any politician that dares disagree faces the threat of losing reelection.
