The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
AIPAC is overt in its objective to further the security of Israel, especially after the atrocities of Oct. 7. It's unclear why AIPAC is funding a campaign against Min — he has not been vocal about his positions on Gaza, has never publicly called for a cease-fire, and is endorsed by the majority of California's Legislative Jewish Caucus — but AIPAC is nonetheless legally focusing on advancing its interests.
Establishment-critical narrative
While AIPAC's reasons for targeting Dave Min's campaign are unclear, this sort of power and money being used to punish candidates who criticize Israel is a malign influence on US politics. Any show of support for the plight of the Palestinians may result in candidates losing their seats. AIPAC's reach into the US political system is a cause for alarm.
