Democratic Majority for Israel

DMFI was founded on January 29, 2019. The founding came in reaction to polling showing that Democrats and younger voters are less supportive of Israel than previous generations.[3] The group also has a political action committee, DMFI PAC, which supports pro-Israel Democratic candidates.[4]

DMFI aims to push for pro-Israel policies and the Democratic agenda. In regard to Israel, DMFI works to advocate support of Israel among Democratic Party leadership. They also work in opposition to the BDS movement and similar organizations, advocate a two-state solution with the Palestinians through direct bilateral negotiations, and encourage American global leadership.[5]

Democratic Majority for Israel's political arm, DMFI PAC, was the first pro-Israel organization to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden for president in March 2020 and ran ads in key battlegrounds supporting his candidacy in Michigan, Florida and the deciding state of Pennsylvania.[6][7] DMFI PAC endorsed more than 100 Democrats for House and Senate in the 2020 election cycle and ran attack ads opposing Senator Bernie Sanders' candidacy during the 2020 presidential primary season.[8] DMFI PAC finished the primary season with 27 wins and one loss and helped secure wins for endorsed candidates Richard Neal, Ritchie Torres, Teresa Leger Fernandez and Albio Sires through independent expenditure campaigns.[9]
