You can find countless politicians – most of the Democratic party – who have learned how to support Israel in 2026: you promise in a closed door meeting to guarantee funding for Likud, never bring up Israel unprompted, and if asked, talk about how terrible Netanyahu’s leadership has been for Jewish security. And then you launder the cash as hard as you can and hope no one notices.
Most AIPAC candidates don’t talk about Israel these days. AIPAC is well known for running ads on whatever topic seems most likely to hurt their critics without talking about Israel.
I think Stevenson started from a place of being a pro-imperialist nat sec ghoul, but now is just having a public mental breakdown, tbh.
By all accounts she’s not too bright AND being pressured by her Zionist fiancée to toe the party line.
You’re absolutely right that AIPAC has become very unpopular in some circles and ‘smart’ democrats owned by them keep their mouths shut for the most part.
I don’t buy it.

There’s also the possibility she’s just not very bright.
