Another win for Democrats' anti-Israel left as Peggy Flanagan takes Minnesota Senate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Craig was among the minority of House Democrats who voted against that effort, maintaining her support for U.S. military assistance to Israel.
52% : Her win follows other recent successes by progressive candidates willing to sharply challenge longstanding Democratic support for the Jewish state, while candidates identified with the party establishment and the pro-Israel camp face growing pressure from primary voters.
50% : Flanagan defeated centrist Rep. Angie Craig, a supporter of Israel who had received endorsements from the pro-Israel group AIPAC in previous elections and whose position on the Jewish state became a point of attack during the primary.
49% : Craig's past support from the organization nevertheless became a political liability among progressive voters, reflecting the widening divide inside the Democratic Party over Israel.
47% : The result came just one week after progressive Abdul El-Sayed won a bitter Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, further underscoring the strength of the party's left flank in contests where Israel and U.S. support for the Jewish state have become increasingly divisive issues.
46% : Flanagan also repeatedly highlighted Craig's past endorsements from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and sought to cast the race as a fight against the influence of wealthy donors and outside groups.
46% : For Democrats, however, Flanagan's victory is likely to draw broader attention because of what it signals about the party's internal battle over Israel.
32% : Flanagan has accused Israel of committing "genocide" and said she would have voted for legislation seeking to cut off U.S. military assistance to the country.
25% : Israel emerged as one of the defining fault lines between the candidates.
20% : Flanagan, who has accused Israel of 'genocide' and said she would have voted to cut off military aid, defeated pro-Israel Rep. Angie Craig after making her rival's past AIPAC support an issue in the campaign Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a progressive Democrat who has accused Israel of "genocide" and said she would have voted to cut off military aid to the Jewish state, won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, handing the party's anti-Israel left another high-profile victory.
