AIPAC has stopped accepting fundraising contributions for House Democrats who this week voted for a measure to cut off all military aid to Israel, according to reports in Jewish Insider and the New York Times.
Among the 15 Democrats who supported the bill sponsored by Representative Thomas Massie, the only GOP lawmaker to vote in favor, was Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, the party’s No. 2 in the House.
“AIPAC members are deeply appreciative of their representatives who stand on principle and are disappointed by those who don’t,” a spokesperson for the pro-Israel American lobby group tells the New York Times in response.
