Jewish Journal: Four Dem Presidential Candidates Announce They Will Not Attend AIPAC As MoveOn.Org Calls for Boycott

By Aaron Bandler

Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA), said in a March 21 podcast with National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar, “We disagree with [MoveOn’s] approach, just as we disagree with boycotts of Israel.”

“Even if you disagree with the policies of any one organization, I think that by excluding yourself and urging others to not have a seat at the table, you can’t expect your voice to be heard,” Soifer said. “So I think it’s important for all organizations to participate.”

She added that support for “the U.S.-Israel relationship should remain bipartisan.”
