For years, the Democratic Party has litmus-tested candidates by asking if they disavow Hamas. Now, could the opposite become the norm?

Sure as hell is a litmus test for me. One of my two senators backed Bernie's bill to block weapons sales to Israel, the other did not. Only one of the two will ever get my vote again.

I'm also not casting a vote for governor because the candidate I'd otherwise support has taken $100ks in AIPAC money.

I will not vote for anyone who enables and sustains the holocaust of the indigenous people of Palestine.
