The Israeli issue is dividing the Democratic Party. On the eve of the midterm elections, Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican candidate Mike Rogers because Democratic candidate Abdullah al-Sayed opposes Israel, while Haley Stevens is closely associated with the American Public Affairs Commission (AIPAC). Stevens told the media that she met a rabbi before her wedding and that she was considering converting. But this division is much wider and affects a large number of members of the Democratic Party.
