Eye on DC: Primaries for Anti-Israel Dems

Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) represents the Pittsburgh ’hood that saw the murder of 11 worshippers at the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue and “has found her strident position on Israel is not just turning off Jewish voters,” but a growing number of Democrats, too, notes The Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito. The day after Oct. 7, “Lee failed to show up at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, where hundreds of Pittsburghers and state politicians rallied in support of Israel.” Her stance has “earned a Democratic primary challenge.” The growing “fissure between far-left Democrats and traditional Democrats” over Israel is bringing multiple primary challenges, including for most of the “Squad.”
