Why is a pro-Israel lobby targeting US Congress member Cori Bush?

Bush, who has been leading critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, faces a spending surge ahead of her Missouri primary.
Washington, DC – On Tuesday, a progressive Democrat will fight to save her seat in the United States Congress — against a threat from within her own party.
That Democrat, Cori Bush, faces a punishing primary challenge from county prosecutor Wesley Bell, as they both compete to represent Missouri in the House of Representatives.
But experts say their battle boils down to one central issue: how to approach Israel’s war in Gaza.
Bush, a member of the progressive “squad” in Congress, has been vocal in her opposition to Israel’s military offensive, which has claimed more than 39,600 Palestinian lives.
She maintains that the primary challenge she faces is part of a larger effort to silence critics of Israel, a longtime US ally — and sow division among Democrats.
