民主党人在反对唐纳德·特朗普总统及其史无前例的第二任期议程上团结一致。

但随着民主党全国委员会(DNC)在新奥尔良举行春季会议,该党再次面临围绕以色列军事行动以及一个强大的亲以色列游说团体近期干预民主党初选的深刻内部分歧。

民主党全国委员会决议委员会周四就多项决议进行了辩论并进行了试探性投票,这些决议包括承认巴勒斯坦国、限制对以色列的军事援助,以及针对一份决议中所称的美国以色列公共事务委员会(通常简称AIPAC)和其他所谓“黑暗金钱”团体“日益增长的影响力”。

两项关于对以色列军事援助附加条件以及承认巴勒斯坦国的决议已被提交给民主党全国委员会中东问题工作组。一份指责AIPAC的决议在决议委员会通过一项针对所有黑暗金钱团体的更广泛决议后被否决。这些无约束力的决议是正在审议的100多项涵盖各类议题的决议中的一部分。

这些决议是支持以色列的民主党全国委员会领导层与越来越多不认可以色列的进步派基础之间最新的一次交锋。一位匿名的民主党全国委员会委员称这些决议对该党来说“存在问题”。

这类可能引发激烈辩论和口头冲突的议题,距离2025年夏季民主党全国委员会在明尼阿波利斯举行的类似对峙仅八个月。

本周发布的皮尤研究中心全国民调显示,80%的民主党人和倾向民主党的独立人士对以色列持负面看法,较2022年上升了近30个百分点。今年早些时候进行的NBC新闻民调显示,57%的民主党人对以色列持负面看法,而在2023年10月7日哈马斯对以色列发动突袭造成约1200人死亡后,这一比例为35%。

但自以色列在过去两年半中对加沙发动军事行动导致巴勒斯坦领土卫生官员所称的超过7.2万人死亡以来,对以色列的负面看法急剧上升。此外,以色列与美国一同参与了持续近一个半月的对伊朗的袭击,民调显示这一行动不受大多数美国人欢迎。

“以色列的行为让美国人开始反对它,”长期担任民主党全国委员会委员、阿拉伯美国研究所主席、以色列批评者詹姆斯·佐格比本周在社交媒体上发帖称。“看来美国人不喜欢有人用我们的钱和武器实施种族灭绝并窃取巴勒斯坦土地。”

这份批评AIPAC和其他在民主党初选中抱团支出的决议由来自佛罗里达州的民主党全国委员会委员艾莉森·明纳利起草,她在去年的夏季会议上因推动一项呼吁对以色列实施武器禁运的决议未果而受到关注。

明纳利的决议被否决后,民主党全国委员会主席肯·马丁撤回了自己的决议,该决议呼吁向加沙提供“无限制”援助,并呼吁以巴危机实现两国方案。马丁随后成立了中东问题工作组,该工作组将在本次春季会议上进行第四次会议。

一些民主党人将他们在2024年选举中的失利归咎于该党对以色列的支持,当时他们失去了白宫和参议院的控制权,也未能重新赢得众议院多数席位。

Democrats are united in their opposition to President Donald Trump and his unprecedented second-term agenda.

But as the Democratic National Committee (DNC) huddles in New Orleans for its spring meeting, the party is once again coping with deep internal divisions over Israel’s military actions and a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group’s recent meddling in Democratic Party primaries.

The DNC’s Resolutions Committee debated and held test votes Thursday on resolutions recognizing a Palestinian state, putting limits on military aid to Israel and taking aim at what one resolution calls the “growing influence” of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is best known by its acronym AIPAC, and other so-called dark money groups.

Two resolutions on placing conditions on military aid to Israel and recognizing a Palestinian state were referred to the DNC’s Middle East Working Group. The resolution calling out AIPAC was defeated after the Resolutions Committee passed a broader resolution targeting all dark money groups. The nonbinding resolutions were among more than 100 on a range of issues that are being considered.

The resolutions were the latest face-off between DNC leaders who support Israel and a growing base of progressives who give Israel a thumbs down. One DNC committee member, speaking anonymously, called the resolutions “problematic” for the party.

The potential for divisive dialogue and verbal explosions over these issues comes eight months after similar showdowns at the DNC’s 2025 summer meeting in Minneapolis.

This year’s spring meeting also comes as a Pew Research national survey released this week showed that 80% of Democrats and independents who lean toward the party hold unfavorable views of Israel, up nearly 30 points since 2022. An NBC News poll conducted earlier this year indicated that 57% of Democrats held a negative view of Israel, up from 35% after Hamas killed roughly 1,200 people in a sneak attack on Israel Oct. 7, 2023.

But negative opinions have surged since Israel’s ensuing military campaign in Gaza over the past two and a half years has resulted in more than 72,000 people being killed, according to health officials in the Palestinian territory. And Israel joined the U.S. in attacking Iran in a nearly month-and-a-half long war which polls suggest is unpopular with most Americans.

“Israel’s behavior has turned Americans against it,” longtime DNC member James Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute and a critic of Israel, said in a social media post this week. “It seems that Americans don’t like folks using our money & weapons to commit genocide & steal Palestinian land.”

The resolution criticizing AIPAC and other corporate-aligned spending in Democratic primaries was authored by Allison Minnerly, a DNC member from Florida who at last year’s summer meeting grabbed a spotlight as she unsuccessfully pushed for a resolution urging an arms embargo on Israel.

After Minnerly’s resolution was defeated, DNC Chair Ken Martin pulled his own resolution, which called for “unrestricted” aid to Gaza and a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. Martin then created the Middle East Working Group, which will meet for a fourth time at the spring meeting.

Some Democrats blame the party’s support for Israel for their 2024 election setbacks, when they lost control of the White House and Senate and fell short in winning back the House majority.
