The party passed a separate resolution condemning all dark money in Democratic primaries rather than singling out AIPAC.
The Democratic National Committee shelved three resolutions taking aim at Israel and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee at its spring meeting in New Orleans.
Two would have placed limits on aid to Israel and the third would have singled AIPAC out while ignoring other big donors to congressional campaigns.
The two Israel resolutions were sent to the new Middle East working group for consideration.
The resolutions were discussed just days after a new Pew Research Center poll suggested that 80% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents had an unfavorable view of Israel and 76% said that they had little or no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doing the right thing.
