For some reason, Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee chairman, concluded that he could simply bar the release of the party’s 2024 autopsy and it would stay buried forever. As it happens, a document drafted by committee and composed of research and interviews in which dozens participated cannot be kept so tightly under wraps.

On Monday, Americans were privy to some selective leaks from that closely guarded document, and those leaks just happen to support all the otherwise dubious claims of the Democratic Party’s activist class. According to the autopsy, the anti-Israel left is just as crucial to Democratic electoral prospects as the anti-Israel left always said of itself. Imagine that.
