The DSA’s Anti-Israel Platform, Explained

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has adopted an increasingly anti-Israel platform. This AJC explainer examines the DSA’s positions on Israel, its evolution since the organization’s founding, and how its response to Hamas’ October 7 massacre accelerated that shift. As the DSA gains influence in American politics, understanding its views on Israel, Zionism, and antisemitism matters. AJC is a 501(c)(3) organization and is strictly non-partisan. AJC does not endorse or oppose candidates for elected office. Learn more about AJC and our work at AJC.org.
