Brad Lander Crushes Dan Goldman in NY-10 Primary as Israel-Gaza Split Reshapes Democrats

Summary
Brad Lander won New York’s 10th District Democratic primary in a landslide after making opposition to Israel’s Gaza campaign and US military funding a central message.
That contrast with Dan Goldman — who criticized Israel but stopped short of calling Gaza a genocide and had previously taken AIPAC support — became a clear dividing line for voters.
New York’s heavily Democratic electorate means Lander and other progressive primary winners are likely headed to Congress, potentially pushing tougher fights over US aid to Israel.
Pew’s April survey showed 80% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters viewed Israel unfavorably, up 11 points from last year, underscoring why the issue is emerging as a broader party fault line.
