Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders publicly attacked AIPAC and called for all Democrats to cease relations with the organization.
“No Democrat should accept money from AIPAC,” he wrote on X/Twitter on Saturday.
“Given the illegal and immoral war being waged against the Palestinian people by Netanyahu, NO Democrat should accept money from AIPAC -- an organization that also helped deliver the presidency to Donald Trump,” the Senator posted.
In his post, he included a video featuring former President Barack Obama's advisor, Ben Rhodes, who states that “AIPAC is part of the constellation of forces that have delivered this country into the hands of Donald Trump.”
“These are the wrong people to have under your tent,” he continues and then adds: “The kind of people that they are supporting, Bibi Netanyahu and [US President] Donald Trump, I don’t want my leaders and my political party coasing up to these people.”

It is important to note that Sanders is one of the most far-Left politicians in the “Progressive Left” of the United States, with the Senator being very critical both of the current administration and the Israeli Government during the Gaza War.
For example, in November of 2024, Sanders pushed for a resolution in the American Congress to ban the sale of certain weapons to Israel, citing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a reason for this measure.

The resolution in question included four Democrat Senators. It argued that “Israel has the right to self-defense after the October 7 massacre, but the US is complicit in the all-out war that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has waged on the Palestinian people.”
The resolutions called for the blocking of 32,739 120-mm. tank cartridges, consisting of 120 mm. M1147 High Explosive Multi-Purpose with Tracer (HEMP–T) cartridges and/or 120-mm. M830A1 High Explosive Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank with Tracer (MPAT) cartridges.
Also included were various 120-mm. tank munitions, 120-mm. munition canisters, transportation costs, publications, and technical documentation, US government and contractor engineering, and technical and logistics support services, according to the resolutions.
