A year ago I said moving Biden on Israel required changing the influence of the ADL on Dems.

Today Randi Weingarten, part of the D institutional inner circle, criticized the ADL.
Vote for Harris. Policy on Israel/Gaza is changing and she will change it.

The ADL is also in the Dem inner circle, and they have pushed for the full backing of the Israeli government. They criticized Schumer when he called out Netanyahu.
This criticism from Weingarten is a sign of change, of pushing the ADL aside.

I would add that the ADL has a space in "the inner circle" *because* they've spent a half century acting as reliable partners and supporters of the Democratic party.
Their influence is derived from generations of hard work. Getting people elected. Helping them stay in office.
This is all cast as some sort of dark and sinister conspiracy when it is literally the opposite.
Relationship-building is one of the key virtues of representative democracy.
