group's purported concerns about the progressive candidate's presumed lack of loyalty to the Democratic Party.

The signatories expressed outrage that"at this critical moment in American history, AIPAC has chosen to cast Democrats like Lee as extremists, while continuing to endorse 109 GOP members of Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results on January 6th."
"We also condemn AIPAC's endorsement of lawmakers who have promoted the antisemitic 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory that helped inspire the murder of eleven members of the three synagogues housed at Tree of Life," they wrote."Clearly, their definition of 'extreme' is completely opposite to that held by the majority of American Jews—who worry about the stark rise in antisemitism and white nationalism in our state and in our country.
"All of us in the American Jewish community and beyond who are concerned about the survival of democracy in the United States and around the world should do what we can to support candidates like Summer Lee up and down the ballot—and to make clear that the harmful actions of AIPAC do not speak for us," they concluded.
