Progressive politics has been infiltrated by Zionist lobbyists from the Harry Truman days. Much more so than Republicans.
LBJ was a democrat who accepted the USS Liberty, while Reagan was the one who actually stopped the carnage in Lebanon, calling it a Holocaust.
Believe it or not, but Trump is actually less beholden to Israel than Biden. Trump and Republicans are actually more beholden to Saudi-Arabia, which is why MBS could quite easily get them to stop the Gaza genocide.
As to why, it's mostly due to the Holocaust narrative and the idea that Palestine was empty and Jews needed a homeland.
Younger progressives know better, but this propaganda was immensely effective in the past among liberals and progressives.
Today, it's mostly money and the influence they have in the party through people like Schumer, Blinken, etc.
Look how AIPAC recently primaried Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman. And a few years ago they also primaried a progressive Jewish (!) congressman who was critical of the apartheid.
