Maine Dems have got their Graham Platner replacement, alright.

Mamdani’s new antisemitism plan features a photo of Congregation Shearith Israel on its cover. Shul leadership told me they were not made aware in advance. “Had [the city] asked, we would have requested that they not use an image of our synagogue for this purpose,” they said.

“It’s unfortunate that there are people here in Maine that don’t like to use that term only because they’re Jewish and what that means to them, with the Holocaust,” Jackson said. “[Israel’s war in Gaza] fits that description and it is."

If Dems take the majority next year, when it comes to Israel policy, expect a focus on West Bank settlements and settler violence as a point of consensus for many in the party.

[Jewish Insider @jewishinsider]

ANALYSIS | If Democrats take control of Congress next year — or even if they win back a majority in only the House of Representatives — expect a legislative agenda that’s a lot tougher on Israel than it has been in a long time.

The Netanyahu campaign to extinguish the possibility of a future Palestinian state by building Israeli settlements in the E1 area of the West Bank must end. I'm leading a new effort to sanction those involved in its development and preserve a future pathway for peace. https://t.co/A9rJgsoG7f
