'Our Revolution': Far-left lawmakers host event taking aim at 'anti-peace' pro-Israel group

A group that's backing leftist candidates for Congress who want to place conditions on U.S. aid to Israel is hosting a Monday night event aimed at bashing the pro-Israel lobby and "building progressive power in Congress."

Our Revolution, an organizing group founded by self-described "democratic socialist" Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is hosting a town hall featuring Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., along with Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., according to a press release sent Monday morning.

The group's new campaign is "Committed to Countering the Rise in Rightwing, Anti-Peace Lobbying, Including AIPAC's $100 Million Campaign to Unseat Candidates Calling For a Permanent Ceasefire," the release said.

Monday night's event is part of "a strategic effort to shore up defenses against well-funded corporate lobbyists," specifically naming the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) – an organization that works along bipartisan lines to promote the traditional U.S.-Israel relationship.

AIPAC has been in the crosshairs of progressive lawmakers in recent months, particularly as it has ratcheted up criticism of those lawmakers for not supporting Israel's response to Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack.

Israel's ensuing ground invasion and airstrikes in Gaza have served to bring long-simmering fractures within the Democratic Party to the surface, with a growing number of young leftists in Congress calling for a harsher stance against Israel, including conditioning military aid on its treatment of civilians in Gaza.
