In an opinion article published by Palestine Online, the writer claims that the recent Democratic Party primaries in the United States witnessed a historic shift represented by the rise of a new generation of progressive leaders supportive of Palestinian rights, who managed to inflict defeats on traditional establishment candidates backed by pro-Israel political action committee money. The writer sees this shift as reflecting the decline of traditional political money power and the rise of a young, progressive voting bloc that considers the Palestinian cause an extension of social justice issues, and a breakthrough of the glass ceiling with the victory of Arab and Muslim figures. The article concludes that the absolute influence of traditional lobbying groups has begun to crack, and that Palestine has become a moral and political test that determines the features of the next leadership in America. The article lacks specific names, numbers, or sources to support these claims.
