Democratic Party’s Israel Collapse Accelerates: Colorado Upset, Platform Retreat, Lebanon War Powers

Today's lead: The Democratic Party's Israel realignment is no longer a trend — it's a structural collapse. Melat Kiros, a DSA-aligned candidate who called October 7 'inevitable,' defeated a 15-term incumbent in Colorado. Back in Washington, top House Democrats refused to commit to keeping Israel's right to exist in safety in the party platform, and nearly all House Dems voted for the Lebanon war powers resolution.

Also tracking: Washington State Democrats adopted a platform that literally blames Israel for rising antisemitism — without consulting the Jewish Caucus. And Rosa DeLauro, the top House Appropriations Democrat, publicly broke with AIPAC.

In the wire: The Massie Israel-aid amendment was blocked from a floor vote, the US and Gulf allies sanctioned Hezbollah's financial network, and a New York woman was charged with sending cryptocurrency to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
