Democratic Majority for Israel


The Democratic Majority for Israel is a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party's membership serving in Congress and the Executive Branch of the United States. The current President and CEO of the Democratic Majority for Israel is pollster Mark Mellman.

History

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. The group also has a political action committee, DMFI PAC, which supports pro-Israel Democratic incumbents.

Political message

DMFI aims to push for pro-Israel and liberal policies. 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.
Democratic Majority for Israel's political arm, DMFI PAC, ran attack ads opposing Senator Bernie Sanders' candidacy before the 2020 presidential election. DMFI endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for President in March 2020.
