When most of the AIPAC candidates were elected the electorate was largely ignorant of Israel-Palestine.

Do you think the electorate is still ignorant of it? If not, do you think they’ll vote for anti genocide representatives this year?

They’re not - or at least no one can reasonably claim ignorance now - and they have already voted for anti-genocide representatives in special elections and primaries thus far. It won’t be a wipeout across the board, but AIPAC will lose their stranglehold on US politics this primary season and they know it. They’ve been doing damage control rather than trying to get pro-Israel candidates elected recently.
