Its absolutelt a trend with dems because AIPAC far more strongly aligned Republicans than Democrats. Its very much seen like receiving Koch or Heritage foundation money. Its way more of a partisan issue than a anti-israel issue unfortunately.
Liberal zionist J-Street is still around though but its influence is waning too. You have to reach far down ballot to see people forgo any pro-israel donor but they are there and growing. And they aren’t even that radical. Any fresh “progressive” liberal will see supporting Israel as just politically non-viable, a guaranteed way to loose the primary. Again, they’re rarely pro-palestine, they just see Israel as toxic.
Same and you are right that they could just give it to a Palestinian org.
However, it is certainly surprising to see stuff like this. Makes me wonder: Will this become a trend? 🤔
