      Why don’t you ask a search engine and learn something instead of asking me to educate you? Most people aren’t as nice as I am.

      Next, based on these indicators, we classified all Democratic members of Congress and viable congressional candidates into (or, in some cases, between) three factions.

      • The Left Progressives include members and candidates who support an arms embargo on Israel, accuse the country of genocide and apartheid, and typically receive support from Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption or DSA.

      • The Mainstream Progressives are members or candidates who support conditioning military aid and arms sales to Israel based on human rights and legal standards; use strong language to criticize Israel’s wartime conduct while tending to avoid the terms genocide and apartheid; and generally receive support from J Street.

      • The Pro-Israel Establishment includes members or candidates who oppose conditioning military aid to Israel, generally avoid harsh language when criticizing Israeli policy, and typically receive support from AIPAC and DMFI.

      By including congressional candidates who have a reasonable chance of winning in November, while also taking into account expected retirements among incumbents, we were able to estimate not only the size and influence of each of the three factions in the current Congress but also within the Congress that will take shape after the November elections.

      So those first two factions. These factions are absent in the Republican party. This isn’t hard.
